Frequently asked questions
- What can an appointment scheduling chatbot do for restaurants?
- An AI assistant that books, reschedules and confirms appointments through conversation, checking real availability so customers don't have to call or email back and forth. 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. It reads and writes to Google Calendar, Outlook, Calendly-style booking tools or industry scheduling systems, and records bookings in your CRM.
- How long does rollout take?
- The key decisions are which appointment types can be self-booked, what information must be collected first, and the rules for buffers and cancellations.

- 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.
