What's Eating Into Your Margins

The average restaurant loses 15–25% of reservation revenue to no-shows, and most first-time diners never return — not because the food was bad, but because no one brought them back.

No-Shows Destroying Friday Night

A party of 6 that doesn't show up on a Saturday night is $200–$400 in lost revenue. With no automated confirmation system, no-shows remain unpredictable and expensive.

First-Timers Who Never Return

Studies show 70% of restaurant guests who have a great experience still don't return within 90 days simply because they weren't reminded. Re-engagement is the most underused revenue lever in hospitality.

Missed Catering & Event Revenue

Catering and private dining inquiries often come in at the worst times — during a lunch rush, after hours. Slow follow-up means you lose those high-ticket bookings to competitors who respond first.

Too Few Online Reviews

Online reviews directly drive foot traffic — yet most happy diners never leave one unless asked immediately and made it effortless. Your competitors with 4.7 stars are taking your tables.

AI That Fills Tables and Builds Regulars

Six automation systems that work before, during, and after every dining experience to maximize revenue per guest and grow your loyal base.

Reservation Management

Handle reservation inquiries via SMS, Instagram, Facebook, and your website automatically — 24/7. AI confirms party size, date, and special requests, then books directly into OpenTable, Resy, or your reservation system. Guests get a seamless booking experience; your host staff gets fewer phone calls.

No-Show Reduction

A smart confirmation sequence contacts every reservation guest at 48 hours and 2 hours before their table time via SMS. If they can't make it, the system offers to reschedule — and immediately alerts your host team so the table can be released to a waitlist. Proven to reduce no-shows by over 60%.

Loyalty Program Automation

Build a text-based loyalty program that rewards guests automatically based on visit frequency and spend — no app required. Regular guests receive a birthday offer, a "we miss you" message after 45 days away, and milestone rewards at 5, 10, and 25 visits. Turn occasional diners into ambassadors.

Catering Lead Follow-Up

Every catering or private dining inquiry gets an immediate AI response — even at 10pm on a Saturday. The system captures event details, guest count, date, and budget, then routes qualified leads to your events manager with a full summary. Never lose a $3,000 catering booking to slow follow-up again.

Event Promotion Campaigns

Pre-built campaigns for Valentine's Day, Mother's Day, New Year's Eve, wine dinners, and seasonal specials. Automatically sent to your guest database with a booking link and urgency timer. Fill your special event nights weeks in advance without manual email blasts or social media scrambling.

Review Generation

After every dining experience, guests receive a personalized thank-you message from your restaurant. Satisfied guests are guided to your Google listing or Yelp page with a one-tap review link. Unhappy guests are routed internally for recovery before a negative review is posted. Grow your rating on autopilot.

Running in Under Two Weeks

We integrate with your existing reservation and POS systems. Your team doesn't change how they work — the AI handles everything around them.

01

Discovery Call

We map your guest journey from reservation to review request, identify your biggest revenue leaks, and build a custom automation plan. We'll know exactly which of the six systems will have the fastest impact on your specific restaurant — whether that's no-shows, repeat visits, or reviews.

02

Build & Connect

We integrate with OpenTable, Resy, SevenRooms, Toast, Square, or your current system. We build your confirmation flows, loyalty sequences, and review campaigns in your restaurant's voice and branding. You review and approve all messaging before we go live.

03

Launch & Measure

We go live and track everything. Monthly reporting shows your no-show rate, repeat visit rate, new reviews generated, and re-engagement campaign revenue. We optimize timing and copy every month based on what the data shows — results compound over time.

Questions from Restaurant Owners

Yes. We integrate with OpenTable, Resy, SevenRooms, Toast POS, Square for Restaurants, and most major reservation and point-of-sale systems. We read reservation data and guest contact information to trigger the right automations at the right times. If you use a system not listed, reach out — we evaluate new integrations regularly and can usually find a solution within a week.

Guests who provide their phone number when making a reservation are opted into transactional SMS messages by default — confirmation reminders fall within this category. For marketing messages like loyalty offers and event promotions, we set up a compliant opt-in flow that collects explicit consent, typically via a text-to-join keyword or a checkbox at reservation. We handle the full compliance setup so you're always within TCPA guidelines.

Absolutely. We work with independent restaurants, small chains, and multi-location groups. Our pricing is sized to your volume, and the ROI is typically clear within the first 30 days — even one prevented no-show per night or 10 additional repeat visits per month more than covers the cost. We offer a free audit so you can see the projected return for your specific restaurant before committing to anything.
