TL;DR: We install an AI agent on your WhatsApp that handles bookings, answers menu questions and collects reviews. No contracts. Ready in 48 hours.
What is an AI agent for restaurants and how does it work?
An AI agent for restaurants is an autonomous virtual assistant that responds to WhatsApp messages, manages bookings, answers menu questions and collects Google reviews — all without human intervention. It works 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, in your customer’s language.
AI agents for restaurants are fundamentally different from chatbots with fixed responses. An AI agent understands context. If a customer asks “do you have gluten-free options for a group of 8 on Friday?”, the agent responds with the correct information from your menu, checks availability and confirms the booking in a natural conversation.
Why does your restaurant lose bookings on WhatsApp and phone?
67% of customers who contact a restaurant and don’t get a response never try again. During service hours — when most bookings come in — nobody can answer because the team is serving tables. With AI agents for restaurants, this problem disappears.

AI agent vs chatbot vs receptionist: which is best for your restaurant?
A chatbot responds with fixed menus and predefined options. An AI agent understands natural language, remembers previous conversations and makes autonomous decisions. AI agents for restaurants work like a waiter, not a vending machine.

How do you install an AI agent in a restaurant step by step?

1. Tell us about your restaurant
15 minutes on WhatsApp. Menu, opening hours, booking policy, restaurant style and frequently asked questions from your customers.
2. We configure your agent
It’s not a generic bot. If your restaurant is casual, the agent is casual. If it’s fine dining, the agent is elegant.
3. We connect WhatsApp
The agent uses its own number. Your personal WhatsApp stays untouched. Add it to Google Maps, Instagram and your menu.
4. It starts working
From day one it handles bookings, questions and reviews. Daily summary via Telegram. You focus on the kitchen.

How much does an AI agent cost for your restaurant?
The price depends on your restaurant. A small bistro with 30 seats is not the same as a restaurant with 3 dining rooms and a terrace. That’s why we don’t give generic prices — every agent is configured to measure.
Message us on WhatsApp, we ask a few questions about your business and give you a fixed quote in less than 24 hours. No commitment. No fine print. No lock-in contracts.

Direct communication
You talk to me on WhatsApp. Not a support department. Problem at 10 PM? Message me and we sort it out.
Your agent talks like your team
We configure your restaurant’s personality. A gastropub doesn’t speak the same way as a family restaurant.
Our own technology
We don’t resell third-party tools. We build and deploy the agents ourselves. If something breaks, we fix it directly.
No lock-in contracts
Month to month. If you’re not happy, cancel. No penalties, no fine print.
Frequently asked questions about AI agents for restaurants
Can the AI agent work with OpenTable or Resy? +
The agent manages bookings via WhatsApp. If you already use OpenTable or Resy, it can redirect customers to the booking link or handle bookings in parallel. We adapt it to your current system without you changing anything.
Can I update the menu and opening hours myself? +
Yes, via WhatsApp. Send a message saying “we’re closed on Mondays” or “new dish: grilled sea bass $24” and the agent updates instantly. No control panels needed.
What happens if the agent can’t answer a question? +
It alerts you immediately via Telegram with the customer’s message. You reply when you can and the agent learns from your response for next time.
Do I need a new WhatsApp number? +
Yes, the agent uses a dedicated number. Your personal or business number stays untouched. Add it to Google Maps, Instagram, the menu and the front door.
Is an AI agent better than hiring a receptionist? +
They complement each other. The agent covers nights, weekends, holidays and service hours. If you already have a receptionist, it takes the load off. If you don’t, it fills that gap at a fraction of the cost.
