The problem it solves

Your staff field the same questions over and over: what time do you open, what's on the menu, can I book a table. Answering those by phone or chat pulls someone away from customers who are actually in front of them. After hours, questions just go unanswered until the next shift.

Who it fits

Restaurants and small hospitality businesses that get repetitive customer questions by chat or phone.

How it works

  1. A customer sends a chat message with a question
  2. The AI agent searches your restaurant's menu, hours, and policy information
  3. OpenAI generates a natural, conversational answer using that information
  4. The conversation history is remembered so follow-up questions make sense
  5. The customer receives an accurate, instant reply
What you get

Diners who get an instant answer

Guests asking about your hours, menu, or reservations get an accurate answer right away, any time they reach out.

What you get

An instant, accurate chat reply to customer questions, day or night.

What you need

An OpenAI API key and a Pinecone account.

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.
