Home / Industries / Restaurants, cafes and takeaways

Take the order, even in the rush.

The phone rings hardest when the kitchen is busiest. AI agents take orders and reservations on WhatsApp and the website, answer menu and hours questions, and remind guests so tables are not left empty.

Who this is for: Restaurants, cafes, takeaways, bakeries, caterers and food trucks.

Restaurants

Where time and money leak.

Calls during the rush

Staff cannot answer the phone at 19:00 on a Friday, so orders go elsewhere.

Reservation no-shows

A table held for a group that never arrives is a table you could have sold.

Menu and hours questions

Are you open on public holidays? Do you have a kids' menu? Is there parking?

Group and event bookings

Large bookings need several back-and-forth messages before they are confirmed.

Reviews

Diners choose on recent reviews, and asking is easy to forget.

How this is worked out

Missed calls a week x your estimate of how many would order x average order x 4.33 weeks. No-shows a week x average spend per table x 4.33.

Your figures and chosen agents are added to the booking notes for you to edit before you send anything.

An example day

What a day looks like with AI agents in place.

  1. Lunch specials, approved last night, go out on Instagram and Facebook.

  2. Tonight's reservations get a reminder. Two cancel; both tables are rebooked from the website.

  3. Six calls are missed in the rush. Each caller gets a WhatsApp with the order link; four order.

  4. Today's diners get a thank-you and a review link.

The care we take

Built for the rules your industry works under.

  • Allergen and ingredient questions are always referred to your staff, never answered by the AI.
  • Card details are never taken in a chat; orders are paid through a secure payment link or at collection.
  • No alcohol sales or promotions to anyone under 18.
  • Specials go only to people who agreed to receive them.
  • In the UK, EU and US the same care applies under their own laws (UK GDPR and PECR, the EU GDPR, and US rules such as CAN-SPAM). We confirm the rules for your country before any build.
