AI Automation for Restaurants & Hospitality

Restaurants don't have an office. The phone rings during service, catering inquiries arrive while a manager is expediting, and the highest-value requests are the ones most likely to go unanswered until tomorrow.

We build automation that handles the front-of-house administrative load — event and catering inquiries, common guest questions, feedback collection and scheduling coordination — without adding another screen to a busy line.

Where time goes

Problems we hear every week

Catering and event inquiries answered late

The highest-value inquiries arrive at the worst possible time.

The phone during service

Hours, reservations, allergen and parking questions interrupt the floor constantly.

Scheduling and shift coverage

Callouts handled by group text and manager phone calls.

Reviews going unanswered

Public feedback accumulating with no consistent response.

Vendor and invoice paperwork

Delivery invoices entered by hand after close.

No guest follow-up

Private event guests never hear from you again.

Your existing software

We build around what you already run

Restaurants usually have a POS, a reservation platform and a scheduling app that don't talk. Automation focuses on inquiry handling and communication, which sits outside all three.

FAQ

Common questions

Can it take reservations?

It can answer questions and hand off to your reservation platform, or capture requests when the platform is not the right fit.

Will guests get a robotic experience?

Automation should handle logistics, not hospitality. Anything nuanced goes to a person quickly.

Is catering automation worth it for a single location?

Often yes, because one recovered event inquiry can be worth more than a month of the system's cost.

Can this help with staff scheduling?

Coverage requests and shift confirmations are straightforward to automate alongside your existing scheduling app.
