Frequently asked questions

What can an AI lead generation chatbot do for restaurants?
A conversational assistant that engages visitors, asks the qualifying questions your sales team would ask, and passes ready leads to the right rep with context attached. For restaurants, common starting points are taking and changing reservations by chat, text or phone; answering questions about menus, allergens, hours and parking; handling catering and private-dining enquiries.
Does it work with the tools restaurants already use?
Yes — the goal is to fit around reservation platforms, POS systems and online ordering tools, not replace them. Qualified leads, answers and transcripts are created directly in Salesforce, HubSpot or your CRM, with assignment rules you already use.
How long does rollout take?
The qualifying questions come from your sales team. Most of the setup is agreeing what a qualified lead is and where each type should go.
How is allergen and menu accuracy handled?
Menu and allergen answers must come from current information. The assistant should answer from your published menu and send anything uncertain to staff rather than guess.
