The problem it solves

Answering WhatsApp messages about your menu, prices, and orders takes staff away from the kitchen and the counter, especially during rush hours. Customers who speak different languages or ask the same questions over and over slow things down further. You want orders taken quickly and accurately without tying up a person to do it.

Who it fits

Restaurants that take orders over WhatsApp and want to serve customers in multiple languages without extra staff.

How it works

  1. A customer messages your restaurant's WhatsApp number
  2. The AI assistant greets them and shares your current menu and prices
  3. It answers questions, takes the order, and confirms delivery details
  4. The order is saved to your database along with the customer's details
  5. Your delivery team receives a formatted message with the full order
What you get

Orders taken correctly in a customer's own language

Your customers order food on WhatsApp in their own language, and the order lands saved and ready in your kitchen.

What you get

A saved customer order and a ready-to-use delivery message for your team.

What you need

A WhatsApp Business account, a Supabase account, and access to Google Gemini.

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.
