Fill More Tables. Reduce No-Shows. Let AI Handle the Phones.
Australian restaurants using AI capture 28% more bookings, cut no-shows by 45%, and add $72K in annual revenue. While your team serves guests, AI answers the phone and fills your tables.
Quick Revenue Estimate
Every Missed Call Is a Table Sitting Empty
The average restaurant misses 12-18 phone calls during a busy service. At $65 per cover, that is $780-$1,170 in lost revenue every single service — gone to the venue that answers their phone.
How AI Transforms Your Restaurant Operations
Built for hospitality, not tech companies. Our AI understands restaurant operations and speaks your language.
Venue Assessment
We analyse your restaurant operations from booking flow to post-dining follow-up. We map every customer touchpoint — phone enquiries, online reservations, walk-in management, dietary handling, and review patterns — to find every automation opportunity.
AI System Configuration
We configure your AI booking assistant, no-show management, dietary tracking, and review response system. Everything is set up for hospitality — correct terminology, your menu structure, seating capacity, and service times.
Staff Training & Integration
Your front-of-house and management team learn the system during actual services. We train staff on the booking dashboard, show the kitchen team the dietary alerts, and ensure the AI phone system matches your venue personality.
Optimise & Scale
Monthly reports show booking capture rate, no-show reduction, review scores, and revenue impact. We fine-tune the AI based on your seasonal patterns, special events, and customer feedback to continuously improve performance.
AI Features Built for Hospitality
Every tool designed for restaurants that need to focus on guest experience, not phone calls and admin.
AI Booking Assistant
Never miss a reservation call again. AI answers your phone 24/7, checks real-time availability, handles dietary requirements, books tables, and sends instant confirmation — all while your team focuses on guests already in the venue.
No-Show Prediction & Management
AI identifies high-risk bookings using historical patterns and sends smart confirmation sequences. Unreconfirmed tables are automatically released to the waitlist 2 hours before service, recovering seats that would otherwise sit empty.
Dietary Requirement Tracking
Every dietary need captured at booking flows automatically to the kitchen prep sheet. Allergies, intolerances, and preferences are flagged with severity levels. No more handwritten notes getting lost between front-of-house and kitchen.
Review Response Automation
AI monitors Google, TripAdvisor, and social platforms, drafting personalised responses within 2 hours. Positive reviews get thankful replies that encourage return visits. Negative reviews get empathetic responses that demonstrate you care.
Table Management Optimisation
AI optimises table allocation based on party size, dining duration patterns, and turnover targets. Maximise covers per service without rushing guests. Smart pacing ensures the kitchen is never overwhelmed during peak periods.
Waitlist Automation
When you are fully booked, AI manages the waitlist with real-time SMS updates. Guests receive automatic notifications when tables become available. No more manual phone calls or losing walk-in customers to the restaurant next door.
Event & Function Enquiry Handling
AI captures function enquiries with all details — date, guest count, budget, dietary needs, and special requests — then sends professional proposals automatically. Follow-up sequences ensure no event booking slips through the cracks.
Post-Dining Follow-Up
Automated thank-you messages, birthday reminders, anniversary prompts, and special occasion offers keep guests coming back. AI builds loyalty by making every customer feel remembered and valued without any manual effort.
