AI agents for Hospitality

AI in hospitality: the owner belongs in the house, not in the office.

Full shifts — and afterwards emails, invoices, reviews and rota chaos. Our digital employees handle the admin in the background: reliably, around the clock.

The short answer

AI agents relieve hospitality businesses of admin work: they answer reservation and event enquiries, capture supplier invoices, respond professionally to reviews and pre-sort staff requests. Evenings and weekends stay reserved for guests and the team — not for paperwork.

A glimpse of processes we take over for Hospitality

Sound familiar?

The most common time sinks in Hospitality

!

Enquiries arrive around the clock — but get answered after midnight

!

Supplier invoices pile up in the drawer

!

Reviews go unanswered or cost nerves

!

Event and group enquiries get lost in the daily rush

Each of these is a recurring process — and therefore automatable. Which one costs you the most time?

Concrete use cases

Typical problems in Hospitality — and how our agents solve them

This is just a glimpse: we automate any process that regularly costs you time. Tell us your biggest time sink — we'll tell you honestly what's possible.

01

Enquiry assistant

Reservations, event and group enquiries are answered immediately, checked against availability and confirmed — on your website, by email and on social media.

02

Invoice capture

Supplier invoices from email and photos are captured automatically, prepared for account assignment and handed over to your bookkeeping or tax advisor.

03

Review management

New reviews are detected and professional reply drafts are written in the tone of your house — you only approve.

04

Staff organisation

Shift-swap requests, sick notes and job applications are pre-sorted and neatly structured.

05

Menu & allergen maintenance

When a dish or price changes, the agent updates the website, Google profile and delivery platforms in one go — including allergen and additive information, which is otherwise easily forgotten.

06

No-show reduction

Reservations are confirmed automatically and reminded in good time; cancellations are immediately refilled from the waiting list — fewer empty tables on your busiest evening.

07

Purchasing & supplier reconciliation

The agent compares supplier prices across incoming invoices and flags creeping price increases and deviations from the order — before they eat into your cost of goods.

Practical examples

What projects in Hospitality look like in practice

Typical project scenarios the way we implement them — from starting point to outcome. Real projects (without client names for confidentiality) are in our case studies.

01Reservation agent: answer enquiries instantly, refill tables

Starting point

Reservation requests come in through the website, phone, and portals at the same time — during a full service there's no time to reply right away. No-shows tear extra gaps into the evening on top, without the seats getting reassigned.

How we implement it

A reservation agent takes in enquiries, automatically confirms suitable dates, sends reminders before the visit, and keeps a waitlist for cancellations or no-shows, offering freed-up tables directly to the next guest in line. Unusual requests get put in front of the team for a decision.

Typical outcome

Reservation requests get answered without interrupting service. No-shows matter less, because open tables get refilled promptly from the waitlist.

02Phone agent: pick up calls, even during a full service

Starting point

The phone rings exactly when nobody can answer — in the middle of the lunch rush or a full evening. Callers hang up, try somewhere else, and simple questions about hours or availability still constantly pull attention away.

How we implement it

An AI phone assistant answers incoming calls, handles standard questions on hours, the menu, and availability, and takes reservation requests directly. Matters that need a personal reply get handed to the team with the key details.

Typical outcome

Calls no longer go unanswered during a full service, even at peak times. The team gets relieved of standard questions and can focus on the matters that truly need attention.

03Roster agent: absences and swap requests without the phone carousel

Starting point

A sick call right before a shift starts throws the whole roster off — then the phone carousel begins, calling around the team for a replacement. Swap requests drift through the group chat and still end up getting sorted out verbally in passing.

How we implement it

A roster agent takes in sick calls, asks available staff for a replacement, and keeps the roster automatically up to date once confirmed. Swap requests get logged in a structured way and only enter the plan after the manager's approval.

Typical outcome

Absences get resolved in minutes instead of half an hour of phone calls. The roster stays reliably visible to everyone at all times, even with short-notice changes.

04Purchasing agent: keep orders, supplier prices, and shrinkage in view

Starting point

Orders with multiple suppliers get placed by gut feeling, and price differences between vendors barely register. Shrinkage and overstock stay invisible until food cost comes in too high at month's end.

How we implement it

A purchasing agent prepares orders based on consumption and stock, compares prices across the relevant suppliers, and matches incoming invoices against the orders. Noticeable price jumps or discrepancies get reported before an order goes out.

Typical outcome

Orders are based on real consumption data instead of guesswork. Food cost becomes visible and manageable instead of only showing up as a problem in the monthly report.

05Review agent: respond professionally to every Google review

Starting point

New reviews pile up while there's no time during service for a considered reply — positive ones go uncommented, critical ones sit unanswered. Yet that's exactly what shapes how the business is perceived in Google and AI search.

How we implement it

A review agent detects new reviews, drafts suitable reply text in the house's tone, and flags critical reviews for priority handling. Every reply only goes out after a quick approval by the team.

Typical outcome

Reviews get a prompt, composed response instead of no reply or one that comes weeks late. The Google profile looks maintained and active — a signal that also helps with visibility.

06Menu agent: keep prices and dishes current across every channel

Starting point

A price change or a new dish has to be maintained individually on the website, Google Profile, and delivery platforms — a channel is easily forgotten. Guests then see outdated prices or dishes that no longer exist.

How we implement it

A menu agent takes in changes to dishes or prices centrally and, after approval, rolls them out to the connected channels — website, Google Profile, and delivery platforms. It catches discrepancies between channels and flags them.

Typical outcome

One price or menu update replaces multiple separate updates. Guests see the same, current state on every channel — questions about wrong prices become rarer.

07Event agent: answer catering enquiries in hours, not days

Starting point

Enquiries for corporate parties, weddings, or events require individual quotes — menu suggestions, prices, capacity checks. Days often pass between the first enquiry and a finished quote, by which time the prospect has long since asked another provider.

How we implement it

An event agent takes in incoming event and catering enquiries, clarifies the key details, and creates a first quote draft from menu building blocks and capacity. The team reviews, adjusts, and sends the finished quote.

Typical outcome

Enquiries get a quote within hours instead of days. That raises the odds of winning the booking before the prospect decides elsewhere.

08Receipt agent: prepare invoices and till receipts for the accountant

Starting point

Supplier invoices and till receipts pile up in drawers and folders until everything has to be gathered at once for the accountant at month's end. Individual receipts get lost along the way, and bookkeeping follow-up questions drag on for weeks.

How we implement it

A receipt agent continuously captures incoming invoices and till receipts, matches them to the right suppliers and categories, and prepares them in a structured way for handover to the accountant. Unclear or incomplete receipts get flagged for clarification.

Typical outcome

Receipts get captured continuously instead of gathered at month's end. Handover to the accountant goes faster, and follow-up questions about missing documents become rarer.

09Social media agent: daily specials and posts on the side, from everyday work

Starting point

There's hardly any time for social media during daily business — daily specials get decided spontaneously but rarely posted, because photo, copy, and publishing all need extra time. The channel goes dormant between occasional, irregular posts.

How we implement it

A social media agent turns short notes or photos about the daily special into matching post drafts with a story idea, assigns them to the editorial plan, and presents them for one-tap approval. Approved posts get published at the right time.

Typical outcome

Daily specials and promotions become regularly visible without eating into service time. The channel stays active, and approval only costs a quick glance.

For context: these are typical scenarios from our project work — your business, your systems and your process shape the actual implementation. Let's talk about your case.

100 % integration — even without APIs

The most common objection: “Our software can't do that.” Our approach: if there is no interface, our agents work with documents, exports, emails or directly on the user interface — like a human employee. That's why “impossible” isn't in our vocabulary.

Frequently asked questions

AI in Hospitality: the key answers

Does the AI really answer guest enquiries in the tone of our house?

Yes. The agent is trained on your menu, your rooms and your style. For unusual requests it hands over to you instead of guessing.

How much time does this actually save?

Businesses typically save several hours per week on enquiries and invoice capture alone — time that used to be spent after closing.

Does it work with our POS system and our bookkeeping?

In almost all cases, yes. We integrate into existing systems — even without an official interface, for example via exports or receipts.

Can several locations be covered?

Yes. One agent setup can be rolled out across multiple venues, with location-specific information and a central overview.

What does it cost to get started?

That depends on the process. In the free intro call you get an honest assessment of whether — and how quickly — it pays off for your business.
