Here’s what a project could look like. Your starting point may be different.
Phone, chat and reservations
Answer routine questions and help customers take the next step.
Explore this example
Use approved opening hours, menus and booking rules. Confirm reservations only after the booking system accepts them; route complex requests and food-safety questions to staff.
Connected ordering and customer care
Keep menus, order status and customer conversations aligned.
Explore this example
Connect ordering channels to your operation. Use structured modifiers, current prices and availability, with explicit confirmation before an order is placed.
Shift and kitchen administration
Spend less time assembling rotas, supplier records and daily summaries.
Explore this example
Draft schedules from agreed constraints and organise purchase invoices for review. Waste and demand analysis can follow when sales and operational records are dependable.
From enquiry to confirmed reservation
A confirmed booking reference—or a clear handoff if the request cannot be completed.

POS, reservation systems, online ordering, delivery operations and staff scheduling. Existing software availability and API access shape the scope.

Your team sets service rules and handles exceptions. Allergen questions need approved information and staff escalation, not a model’s guess.

Map your common questions and escalation rules. Launch an approved-information assistant before adding transactional permissions.
Agree the result before the build.
Staff interruptions, answer accuracy and successful handoffs.
We assess the process, build the connections and add AI where it helps. Scope, costs and support are agreed before delivery.
How we workBefore you start.
What to expect from ai for restaurants.
Can an AI receptionist take restaurant bookings?
Yes, when connected to a booking system with suitable access. It should only confirm after the system accepts the booking, and provide a clear handoff if it cannot.
Can AI take food orders accurately?
A scoped workflow uses a structured menu, modifiers, live availability and customer confirmation. We test difficult orders and failure handling before enabling live ordering.
Have you built food-sector systems?
Our Let’s Eat case study shows connected food-delivery systems built by z80. It is not evidence that every restaurant feature on this page has already been deployed.
Is this everything z80 can help with?
No. These are starting points, not a fixed service menu. Tell us what you want to improve or build, even if it is not listed here. We can explore one workflow, several departments or a custom platform, and agree what is feasible around your systems and priorities.
