When a cafe or restaurant asks us about AI inbound sales, the first question we put back is the same one every time: which part of your week, if it disappeared, would change how you feel on a Friday? We start the build from that answer.

Why cafes and restaurants are different
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.
How we build AI inbound sales 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. Every lead, instantly.

Questions
FAQ
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.
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.
Can you walk us through a comparable build?
Yes – on the first call we'll pick the closest engagement we've shipped to what you're describing and walk through the outcome, the headcount and the time it took. An NZ B2B services firm cut average response time from 7 hours to 90 seconds and lifted demo-booked rate by 41%.
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.
Worth a conversation?
Even if you don't end up working with us, you'll leave the call knowing what's worth building.
