AI personalisation for cafes and restaurants.
For cafes and restaurants who want results in weeks, not a year-long transformation programme.
How much is the admin really costing you?
Nine hours a week of admin is 468 hours a year. That could drop to about 52.*
*Illustrative, based on 9 hours a week of admin at a typical 80% automation rate. The calculator uses your own numbers.
Rosters that account for 11 public holidays, including Matariki, plus your anniversary day, without a spreadsheet.
Built around how New Zealand works.
Personalised offers timed around school terms, public holidays and the local events your customers actually plan around.
- Four school terms a year
- 11 public holidays, plus yours
- Holidays Act until August 2028
From one-person trades to national organisations, we find the hours :)
Quotes with GST, consent paperwork, LBP records and health and safety logs: the admin every New Zealand trade business carries.
*Illustrative example based on nine hours a week of admin. Actual results vary by workflow and business.
Where cafes and restaurants actually lose hours and dollars.
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.
Small team.
Real systems.
Zero fluff.

Good questions, answered
What if our cafe or restaurant doesn't have any data ready?
Most don't. Getting the data into shape - ingestion, cleaning, the lightweight contracts you need before any model is useful - is part of the engagement. For AI personalisation specifically, we typically run that work on Claude, Vercel Edge, Postgres, Klaviyo and assume messy starting conditions from day one.
What does AI personalisation cost for a cafe or restaurant?
Pilots start from a fixed scope priced to land a measurable result inside 6 weeks. Pricing depends on data volume, integration complexity, and whether you need us on managed services afterwards. We'll quote precisely after a 30-minute scoping call.
Anyone else in this space using AI personalisation?
Plenty. Conversion lift of 18-32% over generic site experiences. The interesting question is rarely "does it work" - it's "is your team ready to use the output." That's what we'd scope on the call.
Can AI help with payday filing?
It can prepare it. Employers file employment information every payday, within 2 working days when filing electronically, and automation can have it ready for a person to check.
What does the Privacy Act 2020 mean for AI?
The same rules apply as for any system holding personal information. A breach that could cause serious harm must be reported to the Privacy Commissioner, who expects it within 72 hours.
