AI automation for Restaurants & Hospitality
NYC restaurants, cafes, and hotels juggle Resy, OpenTable, DoorDash, Uber Eats, Toast, and phone orders — and lose hours to no-shows, order errors, and inventory shrink. We deploy AI reservation agents, unified order routing, and inventory AI that cut no-shows and get your staff back to hospitality, not data entry.

What NYC businesses tell us
Pain points in restaurants & hospitality
The manual work that eats your team's week. We've seen these patterns across NYC businesses — and we've automated all of them.
No-shows eat revenue
NYC restaurant no-show rates run 15–20% on busy nights. Each no-show table costs $200+ in lost revenue and turns away walk-ins. Manual reminder calls don't scale.
Online ordering chaos
DoorDash, Uber Eats, Grubhub, Toast, your website, phone — orders come in on 6+ platforms. Each has its own tablet, its own menu, its own error rate. Your kitchen gets confused tickets.
Inventory & supplier management
You count inventory by hand weekly. You order supplies based on gut. You run out of menu items mid-service and overstock perishables. Food costs 30%+ of revenue — waste goes straight to margin.
Review response overload
NYC diners leave 50+ reviews a week across Yelp, Google, OpenTable, Resy. Your manager replies individually at midnight — or doesn't reply at all. Reputation slips.
What we deploy
AI solutions that actually fit
Concrete applications of AI for NYC restaurants & hospitality businesses. Each one ships in 7–14 days, runs in your environment, and includes human-in-the-loop fallback.
AI reservation agent
AI agent handles 24/7 reservations across Resy, OpenTable, your website, and phone. SMS + email reminders 48h + 2h before. 1-tap reschedule / cancel. No-shows drop off.
Unified order routing
All online orders (DoorDash, Uber Eats, Grubhub, Toast, website) flow into one unified POS feed with consistent formatting. The kitchen sees one ticket type, not six. Fewer errors.
Inventory AI + auto-reorder
AI tracks sales velocity, seasonality, and supplier lead times. It generates a weekly reorder list — you approve, the bot emails suppliers. Less shrink, fewer stockouts.
AI review response + reputation
AI drafts a brand-voice reply to every review within 24 hours. The manager reviews and approves in 30 seconds. Negative reviews auto-escalate to the owner. Reputation climbs.
How we deploy
The restaurants & hospitality deployment sprint
From kickoff to production in 14 days. We've shipped this exact playbook for NYC restaurants & hospitality businesses — here's what you'll see at each step.
POS audit
We audit your POS (Toast, Square, Lightspeed), reservation platforms (Resy, OpenTable), delivery apps, and inventory processes. We map the order + reservation flow.
Build & train
We build the AI reservation agent, unified order routing, and inventory AI in a sandbox. We tune against your menu, your suppliers, and your brand voice.
Pilot & tune
We pilot with one service (lunch or dinner). We watch no-show rates, order accuracy, and inventory. We tune the AI against your real customers and reviews.
Rollout & optimize
We roll out across all services, train staff, and optimize monthly. Next we add loyalty automation, private-event AI, and supplier price tracking.
