Cafes and restaurants are some of the most efficient operators in New Zealand – which means the easy wins from AI outbound sales are usually already taken. The brief we accept is the one focused on the workflow you've tried to fix twice and given up on.

What gets in the way
The friction cafes and restaurants hit that other industries don't.
- 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 outbound 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. Outbound that doesn't sleep.
Talk to usThe outcome for cafes and restaurants
What changes for cafes and restaurants after this lands: the work that used to need a person stays done, the work that needs a person gets done with their attention undivided. One NZ SaaS team replaced two outbound SDRs with an AI agent + one closer — 3× the meetings booked, same pipeline cost.

Questions
FAQ
How fast could we have AI outbound sales in production?
Eight to ten weeks for most cafes and restaurants. Faster if your data is in good shape and slower if we're untangling a legacy integration first. We'll give you a realistic number on the scoping call rather than the optimistic one.
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.
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. One NZ SaaS team replaced two outbound SDRs with an AI agent + one closer — 3× the meetings booked, same pipeline cost.
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 outbound sales specifically, we typically run that work on Claude + GPT-4 for messaging, Apollo / Clay for enrichment, HubSpot or your existing CRM, Twilio for SMS, Gmail / Outlook for email and assume messy starting conditions from day one.
