The problem it solves

During busy hours your staff can't keep up with every WhatsApp question about ingredients, spice levels, or availability, and slow replies mean customers give up and go elsewhere. Reservations get missed or double-booked when everyone's stretched thin.

Who it fits

Restaurants that handle customer questions and reservations through WhatsApp.

How it works

  1. A customer sends a message on WhatsApp
  2. The AI searches the stored menu details for an accurate answer
  3. It responds naturally and keeps the conversation going
  4. When the customer is ready, it books the reservation directly
  5. A confirmation is sent back to the customer
What you get

Reservations booked directly from a menu chat

Customers can ask about your menu on WhatsApp and book their table directly in the same conversation, with confirmation sent right away.

What you get

Instant, accurate WhatsApp replies and confirmed reservations booked without staff involvement.

What you need

A WhatsApp Business account, a Supabase database, and a Google Gemini API key.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.

That is what a Fractional Chief AI Officer figures out with you, before anyone writes a line of code.
