AI Chatbot for Restaurants

Take reservations, answer menu questions, and manage table bookings automatically — even when your staff is slammed.

The Problem

Missed reservation calls

Diners call during lunch rush. Lines are busy. They book elsewhere.

Table management chaos

Walk-ins, reservations, and no-shows collide. Staff guess at availability instead of knowing it.

Menu questions drain staff

Is the pasta gluten-free? Do you have vegan options? What are tonight's specials? Same questions, every shift.

Example Conversations

Dietary inquiry

Diner: I have a severe nut allergy. Are your desserts safe?
AI: Our tiramisu and panna cotta are nut-free. The chocolate cake contains almond flour. I can note "severe nut allergy" on your reservation and alert the kitchen. Would you like me to do that?

Group booking

Diner: Can I book a table for 12 on Saturday at 8pm?
AI: For groups over 10, we use our private dining room. It is available Saturday 20:00. I can hold it for 24 hours. Would you like me to send the group menu options and deposit link?

FAQ

Can diners place takeout orders through the AI?

Yes. The AI can collect orders, confirm availability, and provide pickup times. Integration with your POS is possible via API for automatic ticket creation.

What about no-shows?

The AI sends reminder messages 24 hours and 2 hours before the reservation. It can also require a deposit for large bookings or special events.

Can it handle complaints?

The AI acknowledges complaints, apologizes professionally, and escalates to management with a summary. It can also offer a voucher or reservation adjustment within your pre-set limits.
