AI inbound sales for cafes and restaurants.
Every lead, instantly, built around how a cafe or restaurant actually works.
Cafes and restaurants run their businesses unlike anyone else.
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.
Rosters that account for 11 public holidays, including Matariki, plus your anniversary day, without a spreadsheet.
What AI inbound sales actually do
An AI agent that picks up every inbound enquiry the moment it lands - qualifies the lead, answers their questions with your real product knowledge, books the meeting, and only escalates the deals worth a human conversation. With the right workflow automated, nine hours of admin a week could drop to about one.*
*Illustrative example only, based on 9 hours a week of admin falling to about 1 hour a week. Actual results vary by workflow and business.
Small team.
Real systems.
Zero fluff.
What AI inbound sales covers
If we build the right slice first, cafes and restaurants feel the difference inside the first month.
- Instant reply on web forms, email, WhatsApp, and Facebook Messenger
- Qualifies budget, timeline, decision-maker before booking a call
- Trained on your actual sales playbook - not a generic chatbot
- Books straight into the right rep's calendar with the right context
- No annual contracts
- No AI theatre
Not your typical AI agency.
*Every engagement is scoped and quoted up front. Results vary by workflow and business.
How Kiwi Dynamics works
We find the one workflow costing cafes and restaurants the most hours, ship a working slice into production in weeks, prove it pays for itself, then harden it and hand it over.
On the tools or running at scale, the admin still eats the week :)
Quotes with GST, consent paperwork, LBP records and health and safety logs: the admin every New Zealand trade business carries.

Straight answers
Do you do hourly billing or fixed price?
Fixed price for the pilot, every time. After that it's your call - fixed price per milestone or a small monthly retainer for ongoing iteration. We don't run open-ended T&M because it disincentivises us from finishing.
When does AI inbound sales actually pay back?
Inside the first quarter, in our experience. We pick the first slice specifically because it's the highest-leverage workflow for a cafe or restaurant - so the savings start landing before the rest of the build is finished.
Will this run on our own infrastructure?
Yes, where it makes sense. AI inbound sales can sit entirely in your cloud account, with model calls routed through endpoints you control. We default to Claude / GPT-4 for conversation, Cal.com or HubSpot Meetings, Vector store of your sales collateral, Slack alerts for hot leads but the architecture supports your existing platform choices.
What happens when the Holidays Act is replaced?
The Employment Leave Act 2026 replaces it on 6 August 2028. Until then payroll follows the current Holidays Act, so leave calculations need to handle today's rules and the changeover.
Can it remind us about the annual return?
Yes. Every company must file an annual return with the Companies Office each year, separate from its tax return.
