Customer asksAI calls a toolApproved facts only

CustomerDoes this branch have basil rice for pickup?

AIAI verifies the published menu, availability, branch and fulfillment; missing allergen facts remain unknown and are handed to staff.

What AI can do
  • Check published menu and prices
  • Check current sellability
  • Ask for missing branch and fulfillment
  • Create an order after confirmation

AI never guarantees allergen safety or calls a waitlist request a confirmed table.

Owners ask about sales, menus, cost and wastage

Permission checked before every read
Which menu sold best this month, what was food cost, and what caused wastage?
What Admin can ask AI to analyze
  • Sales, bill count and average ticket
  • Top and slow menus, margin and food cost
  • Waste, sold-out items, cancellations, refunds and kitchen bottlenecks
  • Compare dine-in, takeaway and delivery
