What We Automate for You

Practical, business-ready AI systems — built and running in days, not months.

The Review Gap Costing Long Island Restaurants Business

A restaurant with 200 Google reviews and a 4.7 rating will consistently outperform an identical restaurant with 40 reviews — even if the food is the same. Most restaurants on Long Island provide great experiences but ask for reviews inconsistently. An automated post-visit review request — sent via text 2 hours after a reservation ends — captures the feedback while the experience is fresh and grows your review count systematically, every single week.

Catering and Private Event Lead Capture

Catering and private events represent some of the highest-margin revenue in the restaurant business — but most restaurants on Long Island respond to catering inquiries slowly or inconsistently. We build automated systems that respond to every catering or private dining inquiry within minutes, send a detailed intake form to gather event requirements, and follow up automatically if the prospect goes quiet. You close more events without chasing every lead manually.

Marketing Automation Without a Marketing Team

Most independent Long Island restaurants don't have a marketing employee — but they're competing with chains that have entire departments. AI can help level the playing field by automating your email list, drafting your weekly specials posts, and re-engaging customers who haven't visited in 60 or 90 days. We build simple, sustainable marketing automation that runs in the background while you run your restaurant.

Frequently Asked Questions

We already use OpenTable/Resy for reservations. Can you work with that?

Yes. We typically build around your existing reservation system rather than replacing it — adding post-visit communication layers, review requests, and follow-up sequences that most reservation platforms don't offer natively.

We're a smaller independent restaurant. Is this right for us?

Independent restaurants are exactly who this is built for. The systems we create are right-sized for your operation — not enterprise software that assumes you have a marketing team managing it.

Can AI help with our social media?

Yes. We can build workflows that draft social posts from your weekly specials or new menu items, ready for you to review and post. It doesn't fully automate social media, but it removes the blank-page problem and saves significant time each week.

How do review request texts work legally?

We build review request workflows that are compliant with SMS marketing regulations. Guests who dine at your restaurant and provide contact information have an existing business relationship, which governs how outreach works. We set up the opt-out mechanisms required by law.
