Fill every table. Every shift. On autopilot.

The Stack

Six systems, tuned for restaurants.

Each piece plugs into the software you already use — and they all talk to each other.

Chapter 01

Voice AI host that never puts you on hold

Reservations, waitlist, hours, allergens — answered in one ring.

A friendly voice agent picks up every call, books directly into your reservation platform, manages the waitlist, and texts the guest a confirmation. No more 'we missed your call' voicemails during the dinner rush. It plugs straight into Google Calendar and your POS, drops new guests into Mailchimp, and pings the floor manager in Slack the moment a VIP is on the line.

Chapter 02

Website & DM concierge

Menus, dietary questions, private events — instantly.

A chatbot on your site and Instagram DMs handles menu deep-dives, gluten-free and vegan questions, gift cards, and private dining inquiries — and qualifies catering leads straight into your inbox. Qualified leads land in HubSpot, group-menu PDFs render through Canva, and Square gift cards close right inside the chat.

Chapter 03

Local SEO, GEO & AEO that owns the neighborhood

Win the map pack, the AI answers, and TripAdvisor.

We optimize your Google Business Profile, push menu and dish schema, claim and tune Yelp and TripAdvisor, and seed neighborhood content so ChatGPT and Google AI Overviews recommend you by name. Listings stay synced through Google Maps and Google Workspace, while Canva-built dish cards keep your Instagram grid on-brand.

Chapter 04

'Behind the Pass' — your chef's podcast

Stories from the kitchen, sourced and produced for you.

We record short-form audio with your chef or owner — origin stories, sourcing, the dishes behind the menu — then cut it into reels for Instagram and TikTok. Authentic content without the agency overhead. Episodes auto-publish to Spotify, transcripts route through Google Workspace, and Canva builds the cover art for each drop.

Chapter 05

Digital avatar of the chef

Greet guests on the website, answer in their language.

A photoreal video clone of your chef welcomes guests on the homepage, walks them through tonight's specials in English or Spanish, and invites them to book. Embedded across the site, dropped into Mailchimp campaigns via Gmail, and shareable from Instagram DMs with one tap.

Personality at scale — without filming weekly content.
Chapter 06

Agentic AI that runs the loyalty loop

POS → email → ads → review request, end to end.

A custom agent watches Toast for repeat guests, triggers a personalized email through Mailchimp, retargets them with a Meta ad two days later, and asks for a Google review the morning after their visit. Slack pings the GM on big-spender visits and QuickBooks Online sees the lifetime value climb in real time.
