AI Consultant in Melbourne for Retail, Hospitality and Growing Businesses
By Rickey Singh, AI transformation strategist. 20+ years helping businesses grow through technology.
Melbourne's retail and hospitality businesses run on thin margins and busy teams, exactly where AI can take work off people's plates. Rickey Singh brings experience with brands such as Domino's and GAP to Melbourne businesses ready to use AI properly.
Retail and hospitality are behind on AI, which is the opportunity
Retail and hospitality are among the slowest Australian sectors to adopt AI, at around 25% of SMEs against about 45% in professional services. The businesses that move first get the benefit of faster service, sharper forecasting and leaner operations while competitors are still deciding.
Where AI pays back first for Melbourne companies
- Retail and ecommerce: product content, inventory and demand forecasting, and customer service handled by AI across stores and online. Rickey is a Shopify Partner.
- Hospitality and QSR: bookings, guest messaging, reviews and rostering support, built on lessons from quick-service brands at scale.
- Mid-sized operators: reporting, finance admin and customer follow-up automated so managers manage instead of chasing spreadsheets.
How an engagement works
- Private executive consultation (US$250, one hour). Rickey learns the business and identifies where AI and automation would return the most.
- The 7-day sprint. A working system inside your operations in a week.
- Ongoing partnership, if it makes sense. Two to three client partnerships at a time, by design.
Everything runs remotely. Booking slots are shown in Melbourne time, with afternoon and evening availability.
