Restaurant chatbot

A restaurant chatbot that books tables and catches catering leads.

Your staff should not answer "what time do you close?" forty times a night. BotStudio answers hours, menu, parking and dietary questions on your website, sends guests to your reservation system, and captures every catering and private event inquiry with the details you need to quote.

No card. Your private demo link arrives within 1 business day.

The questions that interrupt service

Reservations

Sends guests to OpenTable, Resy, Tock or your own booking page, or collects party size, date and time for parties you handle by phone.

Catering and events

Collects the date, headcount, budget, menu style and contact details, then emails your events manager a complete lead.

Everyday questions

Hours, holiday hours, location, parking, patio, kids menu, gift cards. Answered from your website the moment someone asks.

Guardrails

It knows what not to promise

The bot will not confirm a reservation your booking system has not confirmed, will not quote catering prices you have not approved, and will not guarantee a dish is allergen free. It points guests to your staff for those, so nothing goes wrong on a busy night.

Questions

Straight answers

Can it take reservations directly?

It can send guests to your reservation system (OpenTable, Resy, Tock or your own page) at the right moment in the conversation. If you take reservations by phone, it collects party size, date and time and sends them to you to confirm.

Does it work for catering-only or food trucks?

Yes. Swap the reservation branch for catering and booking questions and it becomes a quote request bot.

Can it answer allergy questions?

It can share what your menu says, but it will not guarantee a dish is allergen free. It directs guests with serious allergies to speak with your staff.

What does it cost?

From $29 a month with one flat price and no per-conversation fees. The Restaurant Reservations template is included on Advanced ($79) and up. Done-For-You is $97 a month plus $297 setup.

Can I see it on my own website first?

Yes. Request a free demo and we build one from your website within 1 business day.
