Every cafe or restaurant business we've worked with has a different definition of "broken". AI lead generation only earns its keep when it solves the specific definition you'd give it on a bad day – which is why our first call is mostly listening.

On the ground with NZ cafes and restaurants
The pattern across most cafes and restaurants we work with.
- Hospitality runs on thin margins where a missed booking, a bad review left unanswered, or a slow roster costs real money.
- Reservations, reviews, and rostering are the recurring admin that pulls owners off the floor.
How we build AI lead generation for cafes and restaurants.
We scope narrow, ship a working pilot, then harden it into production. The first slice is the highest-leverage workflow for a cafe or restaurant business, so value lands before the build is finished. Get me new leads.
Talk to usThe outcome for cafes and restaurants
We'd call the engagement a success when cafes and restaurants are using the system without thinking about us. An NZ B2B software company built a 300-lead/week pipeline on autopilot – entire SDR seat returned.
Not your typical AI agency.
Honest about what AI can and cannot do
Ships the one workflow that pays for itself
Hours given back, never the size of the invoice
*Every engagement is scoped and quoted up front. Results vary by workflow and business.
Questions
FAQ
How quickly can we see something running?
Week three for a clickable internal demo against real data. Week six for a slice your team can actually use. We hold ourselves to those numbers because they're what stops a project drifting into "endless discovery".
What's the smallest engagement you'd take on?
A two-week paid discovery for cafes and restaurants that aren't sure whether the build is worth doing at all. You get a one-page write-up of what we'd build, what we'd skip, and what it would cost. About 30% of those discoveries end with us recommending you don't proceed.
Has this actually shipped for a real cafe or restaurant?
Yes. An NZ B2B software company built a 300-lead/week pipeline on autopilot – entire SDR seat returned. We'll share comparable engagements on the call.
What tools do you build AI lead generation on?
For AI lead generation we usually reach for Claude for ICP scoring + research, Apollo, Clay, LinkedIn Sales Navigator, NZ Companies Office data, HubSpot / Salesforce / Pipedrive. We're tool-agnostic at heart – we pick what your cafe or restaurant team can actually run after we hand the build over, not what looks good on a vendor sticker.
