Common questions
Can AI reply to my online reviews?
It can draft a reply to every review in seconds, which you edit and post. Read each one: a generic reply to a specific complaint does more harm than no reply.
How does AI help with social media for a restaurant?
Take one good photo of a dish and AI drafts captions for several posts and platforms. You pick, edit and schedule; the food and the voice stay yours.
Do I need to be technical to use AI in a restaurant?
No. The core tools are type-in-a-box assistants and a design app. Automations come later and are optional.
