There is a version of AI lead qualification that cafes and restaurants buy off a shelf and quietly stop using inside a month. Then there's the version that's wired into your real workflow, owned by a person on your team, and still in use a year later. We only build the second one.

The honest read
Where most cafes and restaurants engagements actually deliver value.
- 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 qualification 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. AI scores your leads.

Questions
FAQ
How long does AI lead qualification take to ship for cafes and restaurants?
We aim for a working pilot inside 4-6 weeks – narrow scope, real cafes and restaurants data, measurable outcome. From there it's another 6-8 weeks of hardening before you'd consider it production. Full rollouts (multiple sites, multiple teams) typically land in 3-4 months.
Are there hidden costs we should plan for?
Three to know about: model/API spend (which we set up under your own account, not ours, so you see and control it), any new SaaS subscriptions we recommend, and your team's time during rollout. We surface all three in the quote so there are no surprises.
What's the realistic outcome for cafes and restaurants?
Sales reps spend 70% less time on dead-end conversations. We don't promise tenfold lifts because we don't see them outside of marketing decks.
Who owns the code and the model setup?
You do, on delivery. We deploy AI lead qualification into your own cloud account where possible, with the model setup, prompts, evals and integration code all checked into a repo you own. Claude sits in your account too – we don't operate it from ours.
