AI for restaurants in the middle of the rush
Tables get booked, allergen questions get answered and reviews get handled while your team serves, cooks and takes payment.
Your restaurant, with its own AI team
This is how your AI team would work on an ordinary day. Click a robot or an example to see it at its desk.
Automation examples for your restaurant
AI for restaurants is an assistant that handles bookings and common questions on WhatsApp or on your website, so nobody has to leave the floor to answer the phone. At Aventib we set it up with your menu, opening hours, sittings and capacity, and add review requests and messages to your customers to fill the quieter days.
What slips through in a restaurant when the dining room is full
The phone rings mid-service
At half past two nobody can take a call without neglecting a table. People who cannot book usually find another place on the map in under a minute.
Questions that interrupt the team
Do you have gluten-free options? Can we bring the dog on the terrace? Is there a set menu on Saturday? Every message means stopping to find the answer.
Reviews that decide for you
Lots of people choose where to eat by reading Google reviews. If only unhappy customers write them, your rating does not reflect what really happens in your dining room.
Half-empty Tuesdays and Wednesdays
The weekend fills itself, but midweek there are empty tables. You have a good base of customers and no time to message them.
WhatsApp chatbot for restaurants and other AI automations
Tell us what you need
Restaurant reservations on WhatsApp
The customer gives the day, time and number of guests, and the assistant confirms based on availability for each sitting. If the group is large or there is a special request, the booking waits for your approval.
Answers on the menu and allergens
It replies using the information you give it about dishes, allergens, vegetarian options, the terrace or accessibility. If someone mentions a serious allergy, it advises them to confirm with staff and alerts you.
Reviews under control
After their visit, the customer is invited to leave a Google review. The AI also prepares draft replies to new reviews, good and bad, for you to check and publish.
Menu and website connected
You change a dish or the price of the set menu in one place and it updates on the website, in the information the assistant gives and on your Google Business Profile.
Campaigns for quiet days
With your customers' permission, we prepare messages for special events, seasonal menus or free tables midweek. You choose when they are sent and to whom.
How a typical Friday works in your restaurant
An example of how it works. Every business is set up to fit.
- Booking mid-service
A customer asks for a table for four that evening. The assistant confirms the half past nine sitting without anyone leaving the floor.
- Allergen question
Someone asks which dishes are nut-free. They receive the information from your menu and a note to confirm with the waiter when they arrive.
- Group awaiting approval
A request comes in for fourteen people on Saturday. It shows as pending and you decide whether to accept it or suggest another time.
- Invitation to review
Customers who had dinner receive a thank-you message with the link to your Google Business Profile.
What you get from AI for restaurants
Your team focuses on the occupied tables while new bookings keep coming in at any time, even when you are closed.
Asking every customer for a review, not just the unhappy ones, gives a fairer picture of your food and your service.
Contacting your regulars at the right moment helps fill tables on the days that are hardest to fill.

Frequently asked questions about AI for restaurants
How does a WhatsApp chatbot for restaurants work?
It connects to the restaurant's WhatsApp Business account and replies to customers using your restaurant's information. It can take bookings, give information on the menu and opening hours and let you know when something needs a decision, such as a large group or a celebration.
Can it be used with my current booking system?
It depends on the tool you use. Some allow a direct connection and others do not. We check this at the start and, if there is no way to connect, we organise bookings in a shared calendar your team can check easily.
What does AI for restaurants do apart from taking bookings?
It can answer questions about allergens, special menus or accessibility, prepare draft replies to reviews, and send booking reminders and campaign messages. Anything sent to customers with a particular tone or a special offer is approved by you.
Is AI reliable for allergen information?
It only replies with the information the restaurant gives it and keeps up to date. Even so, for serious allergies it always recommends confirming with staff, because responsibility for ingredients remains with the kitchen.
How much does AI for a restaurant cost?
It depends on the number of venues, the features you want to switch on and the tools you already have. We do not give a standard price: first we get to know your restaurant and then we send you a clear proposal with what it includes.
Does it also work for delivery or takeaway orders?
Yes. The assistant can take takeaway orders, confirm the collection time and send you the order for the kitchen to prepare. If you work with delivery platforms, we look together at which part makes sense to handle through your own WhatsApp.
Shall we talk about your business?
We'll reply with a first idea of how we can help. No commitment.
