What Clients Say

"Before the chatbot, we'd lose weekend leads for backyard parties because no one was checking emails. Now, it handles initial quotes for grill setups with ribs and coleslaw sides right away—we booked three extra events last month alone, adding $15K to our revenue without extra staff."

Maria Gonzalez

Owner, Flavorful Feasts BBQ & Catering

"Our team was swamped with questions about corporate event menus during lunch rushes. This custom bot integrates with our scheduling app and answers everything from AV setup pairings with cocktail hour apps to halal chicken entree options. Response times dropped from 4 hours to under a minute, and clients say it feels like we're always open for 50+ guest orders."

Step 1

Discovery and Customization

We dive into your catering workflow—your menus, booking process, and peak seasons—to design a chatbot that fits like a perfectly tailored apron. No generic setups; it's built for your unique needs.

Step 2

Integration and Training

We connect it to your tools, like reservation software and ingredient lists, then train the AI on your voice and specifics, such as handling high-volume cocktail party inquiries or allergy flags.

Step 3

Launch and Optimization

Go live with 24/7 monitoring. We tweak based on real interactions, ensuring it evolves with your business—like adding new fall harvest options— for seamless, always-available support.

Why We're Different

We build from the ground up with custom code, not slap-together no-code hacks that break under catering's high-volume demands—giving you true ownership, not endless subscriptions.

Our engineers understand food service chaos, like fluctuating event sizes, so we create scalable systems that handle surges without crashing, unlike off-the-shelf bots.

Forget fragile integrations; we forge deep, two-way connections to your tools, ensuring menu changes or booking updates sync instantly for reliable client info.

We prioritize production-ready robustness—your chatbot won't glitch during a busy holiday rush, because we test like it's our own catering gig on the line.

No juggling disconnected apps; our unified approach replaces the mess of multiple tools with one owned system tailored to capture every catering lead.

We focus on your exact pain points, like after-hours wedding queries, delivering AI that's context-aware and human-like, not robotic template responses.

Our in-house platforms prove we build at scale—think multi-agent systems that personalize interactions, just like curating a bespoke tasting menu.

We eliminate dependency on rented tools by handing you a fully owned digital asset, scalable as your catering empire grows from local events to regional dominance.

Trained on real food service data, our solutions avoid generic pitfalls, ensuring the bot speaks your language—from 'plated entrees' to 'passed apps'.

Backed by our frustration with fragmented AI, we deliver cohesive workflows that boost efficiency, letting you focus on flavors, not fixes.

Common Questions

How does the chatbot handle complex catering customizations like vegan or gluten-free options?

We train it specifically on your menu details and protocols, so it can suggest alternatives like plant-based proteins or rice flour desserts right away. For instance, if a client asks about a nut-free charcuterie board for 50 guests, it pulls from your inventory and offers pairings while flagging any needs for your team. It's not guessing—it's drawing from your exact offerings to build trust and speed up decisions. Over time, we refine it based on real chats, ensuring it gets smarter about your seasonal specials or supplier changes. This means fewer back-and-forths and more confident bookings.

Can it integrate with our existing booking and payment systems?

Absolutely, we build deep integrations tailored to tools like your POS or scheduling software. Say you use something like CaterZen or QuickBooks—our chatbot syncs in real-time, checking availability for a Friday night corporate mixer and even processing deposits on the spot. No manual entry errors that could lead to double-bookings. We handle the setup to make it feel seamless, like an extension of your kitchen flow. And if your systems change, we adapt without downtime, keeping your operations humming during peak seasons.

What if a client needs to speak with a human for a big event?

The bot is smart about knowing when to step back—it detects complex needs, like negotiating a full-day wedding with AV and floral integrations, and seamlessly transfers the chat or schedules a call with your event specialist. Clients get a smooth handoff with all prior details shared, so no repeating the story. In our experience with catering firms, this happens in about 20% of interactions, preserving that personal touch while handling the rest 24/7. It's like having a receptionist who never sleeps but knows when to call in the chef.

How quickly can we get this up and running for our catering business?

Typically, we launch a custom version in 4-6 weeks, starting with a deep dive into your workflows. For a mid-sized caterer, that includes mapping out your event types—from cocktail hours to plated banquets—and testing with sample inquiries. We prioritize quick wins, like basic menu Q&A, so you see value early. Post-launch, we monitor and optimize weekly, adjusting for things like holiday surges. It's faster than building in-house and way more reliable than piecing together apps, getting you that always-on support without disrupting your busy schedule.

Is the chatbot secure for handling client data like event details and payments?

Security is non-negotiable in food service, where client trust is everything. We use enterprise-grade encryption and comply with standards like GDPR and PCI for payments, ensuring details like guest counts or dietary notes stay protected. For example, when quoting a private dinner, it anonymizes sensitive info until handover. Regular audits and your own access controls keep it locked down. We've built this for SMBs like yours, avoiding the vulnerabilities of generic bots—think no data leaks during a high-profile gala inquiry.

How does it improve lead capture during off-peak times like late nights or weekends?

Catering leads don't clock out, but your team does. Our bot captures them instantly—say, a query at midnight about a summer BBQ for 100—by qualifying needs, sending tailored options, and nurturing with follow-ups. This has helped similar businesses snag 25-35% more off-hours conversions, turning casual browsers into booked events. It's proactive, like prepping ingredients ahead, ensuring no lead slips through because the kitchen's closed. We customize the tone to match your friendly vibe, making clients feel attended to around the clock.
