AI bots for restaurants
Client intake bot for restaurants
Restaurants know this one well: empty tables from reservations that never turn up. The intake bot handles it for you, between prep, covers and the dinner rush. Collects intake details and documents before the first reservation, so you don't ask twice.
The problems it takes off your list
- Empty tables from reservations that never turn up.
- Guests ask about the menu, allergens and opening times again and again.
What it looks like in practice
Say you run a family-run pizzeria that also does delivery. A new guest books a first reservation. They get a link to a short guided form, answer a few questions and upload the documents you need. You open OpenTable before the reservation and the summary is already there.
How it works for restaurants
Step by step, this is what the intake bot does with your guests.
- A new reservation is made.
- The guest gets a link to a short guided chat or form.
- It collects details and uploads, and asks follow-ups based on answers.
- Everything is saved to OpenTable.
- You get a summary before you meet.
Tools it connects to
It plugs into the tools restaurants already use, such as OpenTable, and runs on Typeform, OpenAI and n8n.
Questions from restaurants
Does the intake bot work with OpenTable?
Often, yes. Before building the intake bot I check your OpenTable account and plan, because some features depend on API access. If there's a gap for your restaurant setup, you'll know before you pay anything.
What does the intake bot cost to run each month?
Setup for the intake bot starts at $300 while the launch offer is on, for restaurants and everyone else. Tools like OpenAI, Twilio and n8n hosting usually cost $5 to $30 a month, billed to you directly. I'll tell you the exact number before we start.
Can I change how it works later?
Yes. The intake bot keeps its messages, timings and rules in settings or a simple sheet you can edit. For bigger changes, such as a new step for your guests, message me and I'll quote it first.
