AI phone answering and automation for independent restaurants.
During the rush, nobody can answer the phone, and the catering order that would have made your week goes to voicemail. We build agents that answer, book, follow up and ask for reviews, so your team can focus on the guests in front of them.

Where restaurants lose time and money.
Phones ring during the rush
Reservations and to go orders are lost when nobody can pick up.
Catering leads go cold
Large orders need fast, detailed answers that nobody has time for.
Vendor invoices pile up
Receipts and invoices end up in a box until the accountant asks.
Reviews decide new guests
Happy regulars rarely post, and your rating does not reflect your food.
Four agents, each with one job, built around how you already work.
Receptionist Agent
Answers hours, menu and reservation calls, and takes catering details.
Bookkeeper Agent
Collects vendor invoices and receipts, and keeps the books current.
Marketing Agent
Requests reviews, runs specials and brings back guests who have not visited.
Office Manager Agent
Tracks catering orders, prep lists and the weekly numbers.
Discover, build, train, coach. Built inside your own accounts, and yours to keep. How we work
A normal week, with the busywork handled.
Friday at 7 PM, the line is ten deep and the phone keeps ringing. The AI phone answering agent handles hours, directions, menu questions and reservations, and takes the full details on a catering inquiry for 60 people.
The catering lead gets a same night response with your packages, and a follow up the next day. Vendor invoices and receipts are captured as they arrive instead of piling up in a box.
After each visit or order, guests get a review request. Regulars who have not been in for a while get a win back offer. The owner sees a weekly sales and labor snapshot.
What answering during the rush can be worth to a restaurant
- Assume 2 catering orders a month that used to go to voicemail
- Assume $800 average catering order
a year in catering revenue, in this worked example. Your numbers come out of discovery.

Questions restaurants ask
Can the agent take reservations on our current system?
If your reservation system allows it, yes. If not, the agent captures the details and sends them to your team instantly.
Will regulars find an agent impersonal?
The agent handles the routine calls so your team has time for the personal ones. You decide which calls always go to a person.
Do I need new software?
Usually not. We build inside the tools you already pay for, and only recommend something new when it clearly pays for itself.
Who owns what you build?
You do. Every agent, account and file stays with your business, and your team is trained to run it.
