An AI chatbot on your restaurant website answers every guest question automatically — hours, reservations, dietary info, private events — at any hour. So the couple planning Friday night dinner finds answers in 30 seconds and books the table instead of moving to the next restaurant on their list.
Why restaurants lose guests before they ever sit down
Friday night at 7pm. Your team is slammed. Someone calls to ask if you take reservations for 8. The phone rings five times and goes to voicemail. They book somewhere else.
A birthday party for 20, a rehearsal dinner, a corporate lunch — these are your highest-margin bookings. They arrive via Instagram DM and sit unanswered for two days while your team runs dinner service.
A couple is deciding where to go Friday night. They check your website for reservation availability and gluten-free options. No answer. They book the restaurant that responded in 30 seconds.
Hours, reservations, parking, dietary accommodations, happy hour — your staff answers these while running the floor. That's the distraction a chatbot eliminates entirely.
How it works
Hours, reservations, dietary options, parking, private events — the chatbot knows it all from your menu, policies, and the details you add during setup.
"Yes, we take reservations through OpenTable — here's the link. Our gluten-free pasta is the tagliatelle; the kitchen flags all allergen requests. Street parking on Main and a garage two doors down." Answered at 2pm Thursday. Answered at 9pm Friday. Always.
The couple who was about to try the next restaurant makes a reservation. The birthday party inquiry gets captured with name, date, and party size — routed to your events team as a structured lead.
The private event math
Private events and large parties generate $500–$3,000+ per booking for most restaurants. Event inquiries frequently arrive via Instagram DM or website contact form and die there — unanswered for two days while your team is focused on service.
A chatbot running 24/7 captures every event inquiry immediately: party size, date, contact info — structured and routed to your manager as a real lead rather than a message in a queue. If it converts one additional event per month that would have otherwise gone unanswered, the math is obvious.
Founding-client pricing
Foundation: website + hosting + 24/7 AI chatbot + Google Business Profile + missed-call text-back. Growth adds local SEO, review automation, and reservation management at $997/mo. Full Office adds a 24/7 AI phone receptionist at $1,497/mo.
Hours, reservations (including how to book and through which platform), menu and dietary information, allergen details, parking and location, private event inquiries, happy hour and specials, and any custom policies you configure. The most-asked questions at most restaurants are answered immediately and consistently.
Yes — and this is often where restaurants see the fastest ROI. The chatbot captures party size, date, and contact information from every event inquiry the moment it comes in, then routes it to your manager or events team. Event inquiries that used to sit in a DM inbox for days are now structured leads.
Yes. The chatbot links directly to your booking platform for reservation requests. It doesn't replace your reservation system — it routes guests to it immediately instead of leaving them to figure it out on their own.
The chatbot is trained on your full menu including allergen information — gluten, dairy, nuts, shellfish, vegan and vegetarian options. It answers these consistently and correctly every time, without anyone having to step away from the floor to check.
