AI Assistants for Restaurants
Restaurant owners and managers spend their days on the floor and in the kitchen, yet the business also runs on email and messages: catering requests, large party inquiries, reviews, vendor orders and social posts. Those usually get handled at midnight after close.
Everyday headaches that eat the week
- Private event and catering inquiries. A request for a 40-person rehearsal dinner sits in the inbox for two days and the party books elsewhere.
- The same questions all day. Do you take reservations? Is there parking? Do you have gluten-free options? Staff answer them by phone during the rush.
- Reviews piling up. Good and bad reviews deserve a thoughtful response, and they rarely get one.
- Vendor and order follow-up. Produce, linen and equipment vendors need confirmations and reminders.
- Staff schedule changes. Shift swaps and reminders flood the group chat.
- Menu and special promotion. Weekly specials, holiday menus and events need posts and emails on time.

A week with your AI team, start to finish
Monday the team replies to three catering inquiries and drafts event proposals from your packages. Tuesday it drafts responses to the weekend's reviews. Wednesday it confirms the produce and linen orders. Thursday it drafts the weekend specials post, and Friday it sends shift reminders for the busy Saturday.
Where the time goes
Most of the value shows up in the hours you get back after close. Instead of answering a stack of event emails at midnight, you approve drafts in a few minutes between lunch and dinner service, and inquiries no longer wait until your one day off.
What stays with you
The menu, the food, hospitality decisions, pricing and how you handle an unhappy guest in person stay with you and your team. We build it, run it and keep tuning it for you. The setup stays fully managed by G&K.
Pricing starts at a published base and is customized on your free Blueprint call. See pricing & packages.
