Catering AI Front Desk

A 200-person event just
slipped to a competitor.

The AI front desk for caterers — it answers menu and dietary questions, captures headcount, date, venue, and budget, and shares your tasting booking link, on your website, WhatsApp, Instagram, and Messenger. Your team gets a complete brief by email instead of another interruption mid-prep.

Everything Catering Businesses Need

From first question to quote request, one AI front desk answers, captures, and routes.

Event Inquiry Capture

AI collects event date, guest count, venue, and preferences, then emails your team an organized brief ready for quoting — instead of scattered voicemails.

Quote Requests Routed

Prospective clients get an instant reply and a clear next step. AI collects the details and routes the request to your team to prepare the quote.

Multi-Channel Support

Clients reach you via website chat, WhatsApp, Instagram DM, or Facebook Messenger. One AI handles all channels seamlessly from a single dashboard.

Menu Information

AI shares your menu options, package details, seasonal specials, and pricing ranges. Clients can browse offerings, then book a tasting through the link you share.

Dietary Accommodation Answers

Answers questions about vegan, gluten-free, kosher, halal, nut-free, and other dietary accommodations you offer.

100+ Languages

Serve diverse client populations in their native language. AI auto-detects and responds in Spanish, Mandarin, French, Arabic, and more.

Real Conversations Your AI Handles

Wedding Catering

"We need catering for our wedding — 200 guests." AI collects date, venue, cuisine preferences, and dietary needs, then routes to your events team for a custom proposal.

Corporate Lunch

"Can you cater a company lunch for 40 people next Tuesday?" AI asks about menu preferences, budget, delivery or setup needs, and collects contact details for quoting.

Birthday Party

"I'm planning a birthday party for 30 people." AI shares party packages, asks about theme or cuisine preferences, and gathers event details for follow-up.

Holiday Party

"We need catering for our office holiday party." AI collects party size, date, venue, budget range, and preferred style — buffet, cocktail, or plated.

Menu Customization

"Can we customize the menu for a Mediterranean theme?" AI explains customization options, shares relevant sample menus, and connects the client with your chef for details.

Dietary Restrictions

"We have guests with nut allergies and several vegans." AI outlines your allergen protocols and vegan menu options, reassuring the client about safe preparation.

Quote Request

"How much for a buffet for 100 people?" AI provides general pricing ranges, explains what affects the final cost, and collects event details for an accurate quote.

Tasting Appointment

"Can we schedule a tasting before we book?" AI explains the tasting process and what to expect, then shares your tasting booking link.

Last-Minute Event

"We need catering for this Friday — is that possible?" AI shares your lead-time policy, collects event details, and flags the request as urgent for your team.
