"Book me a table" and "I want to order food" are two different things, the AI never confuses them.
A restaurant takes table reservations and also runs real food ordering from its own menu, pickup, delivery, or at the table. Here's exactly what happens when a guest messages on WhatsApp.
Booking a table for dinner
- 01
Guest asks for a table
"Table for 4 tonight at 8, we have a birthday."
- 02
AI books it with the occasion noted
A real slot confirmed, with the special occasion attached for the host to see.
- 03
Confirmed on WhatsApp
No phone tag, confirmed instantly, in the same chat.
Ordering food, a completely different flow
A guest asking to see the menu isn't asking for a reservation, the AI treats it as its own conversation.
- 01
Guest asks to order
"Can I see the menu? I want to order delivery."
- 02
Real menu, real items
Categories, items, sizes, and add-ons, the actual structured menu, not a static PDF.
- 03
Order placed and tracked
The order moves through the kitchen's own board, pending, confirmed, preparing, ready.
Two workflows, cleanly separated
Real structured menu
Categories, items, variations, and add-on groups, built once, quoted accurately every time.
Catering goes through a quote
A large or custom-menu event is never squeezed into a normal order. It's priced properly first.
Waitlist for full tables
A cancellation automatically offers the freed table to the next person waiting.
