AI for Restaurants
Archi Group builds AI systems for restaurants: voice agents that answer every call, website chat that handles hours and reservations, and follow-up systems that turn catering inquiries into booked events. We own a restaurant ourselves, so we build for the Friday rush, not the demo.
We know the Friday rush firsthand
Oda House is our restaurant. We prototyped an AI assistant for it before offering this work to anyone else, and over 15 years of operating businesses taught us the same rule everywhere: the phone rings hardest exactly when nobody has a free hand.
Where restaurants leak covers and catering revenue
At 7pm on Friday, the host is seating a party of six, the phone is ringing, and the caller books somewhere else. A catering inquiry worth thousands sits in the inbox until Monday. Guests ask the same questions all day: hours, parking, gluten free options, wait times. Every one of these is small. Together they are a full-time job nobody was hired for.
What we build for restaurants
Systems that catch the revenue your phone line is dropping:
- AI voice agents: every call answered, common questions handled, reservations captured, and transfers to a human on request
- AI lead capture and follow-up: catering and private event inquiries answered in seconds and followed politely to a booking
- AI customer support agents: website chat for hours, menu, parking, and reservation questions
- AI workflow automation: review monitoring, weekly reports, and the admin between systems
- AI document and invoice automation: food and beverage supplier invoices read and entered into your books
What it costs
Voice agents start at $6,500, catering lead capture at $3,500, and website chat agents at $4,500. Full pricing is on every service page. Free AI audit and fixed quote first, priced for restaurant margins, not enterprise budgets.
How it works
- 1
Free audit. A 20 minute call where we find the three places AI can save your business the most time or money. You get a fixed quote, whether or not you hire us.
- 2
Build. Most projects go live in 2 to 6 weeks. You approve everything before it touches a customer.
- 3
Run. We monitor, fix, and improve the system every month, and you get a plain English report on what it did.
Common questions
Can it take reservations and phone orders?
Reservations, yes: it books into systems like OpenTable and Resy or your own setup. Phone orders can be captured and delivered to your team by ticket or text, and entered directly where your POS supports integration. The audit scopes exactly what your systems allow.
What happens during a dinner rush?
The agent answers every call at once. Two callers, or ten, nobody hears a busy signal or endless ringing, and your staff keeps their hands on service.
Will regulars mind talking to an AI?
It introduces itself as an assistant and handles the quick asks most calls are: hours, directions, wait times, bookings. Anyone who says "person" gets transferred. Most callers just want an answer without waiting.
We run on thin margins. Is this realistic for us?
We own a restaurant, so yes, and that is why pricing starts focused: one system aimed at your biggest leak, usually the phone, with the numbers to justify itself before anything expands.
What about catering and private event inquiries?
They get treated like the high-value leads they are: an instant reply, the qualifying questions you would ask, and persistent follow-up until the event books or the lead says no.
