AI agent for a restaurant: a table and a banquet from WhatsApp
A guest writes “table for 6, Friday 8 p.m.” The agent clarifies the room, deposit, cake, books, and drops a request into CRM — evening messages no longer get lost.
Where the restaurant loses guests
- “Is a table free on Friday?” in three messengers at once
- A banquet with no guest count and no occasion — the kitchen cannot prep
- After 10 p.m. the host does not reply — by morning the table is no longer needed
- Deposit and cancellation are explained differently every time
- Delivery and reservations live in different chats

Reservations and banquets arrived in Instagram and WhatsApp. The host could not keep up in the evening. Some tables “hung” in DMs; some guests left with no reply.
The agent confirms the slot, explains the deposit and corkage, and clarifies the occasion. Banquets with an exact brief go to a manager. The first week already produced reservations that used to get lost.
What the AI agent does in a restaurant
Hospitality is won on speed: the table is yours, or the place next door. The agent holds the messengers while the room is full. Delivery and a storefront sit nearby if you connect the store separately.
- “Table for 6, Friday 8 p.m., terrace”
- The agent confirms the deposit and cancellation rules
- “Can we bring our own cake?” — answers from the policy
- Reservation in CRM, reminder to the guest
