A digital employee for restaurants that books tables and takes orders without a wait
A digital employee for restaurants is an AI agent on the restaurant’s WhatsApp, website and phone line. It answers questions about the menu, prices, hours and branches, books tables, takes delivery and pickup orders, and records party and catering requests as leads for your team. It suits restaurants and cafés whose phone is jammed at peak time and who lose bookings. Delivery usually takes 3 to 6 weeks, and projects of this kind start in the market at about SAR 20,000. You can try a demo restaurant employee now on the /try page, and we send a written quote within 24 hours.

What you get
Table bookings
It asks for the party size, time and branch, confirms against availability, sends the guest a confirmation and records it for the floor team.
Delivery and pickup orders
It takes the order from the approved menu with items and extras, confirms the address and time, and sends it to the ordering system or the cashier.
The menu and prices as you approved them
It answers on dishes, ingredients, allergens and offers from the restaurant’s menu only, and never invents a dish or a price.
Event requests
It records party and buffet requests with the number of guests, date and budget, and passes them to the person in charge as a lead.
Saudi dialect and English
It speaks the guest’s way, understands voice notes and abbreviations, and answers visitors in English.
A voice version for the phone
It answers the restaurant’s calls in a natural voice at peak time and after hours, so no booking call is lost.
What the digital employee does in a restaurant
Peak time is when most guests call, and it is the same time nobody on the team has a minute to answer. A guest who gets no answer books somewhere else.
The digital employee answers every guest at the same moment, on WhatsApp and on the phone, and leaves the floor and the kitchen to their work.
- Answers questions on hours, branches, location and parking
- Books, changes and cancels tables
- Takes delivery and pickup orders from the menu
- Records event requests and passes them on
- Hands complaints to the branch manager with a summary
How it connects to the restaurant’s systems
We connect it to the point-of-sale or ordering system where that allows integration, so the order reaches the kitchen like any other. Where it does not, the order reaches the cashier on a simple panel or the team’s WhatsApp.
The menu is updated in one place and changes in the answers on WhatsApp, the website and the phone together.
Try it before you decide
The demo page has a fictional restaurant, Deira Restaurant. Write to its digital employee as a guest would, or call it, and book a table or order delivery. Everything it does shows in the system panel beside it as it happens.
The restaurant in the demo is fictional; yours is built on your menu, branches and policies.

Frequently asked questions
How much does a digital employee for a restaurant cost?
Basic conversational agents start in the market at about SAR 20,000 and rise with the ordering integration and the number of branches, plus a monthly running cost for hosting, the AI model and follow-up. We send a written quote within 24 hours.
Does it really take orders, or only answer?
It takes them: items, extras, address and time, confirmed with the guest, then sent to the ordering system or the cashier depending on what the restaurant’s system allows.
What if the menu changes or a dish runs out?
You edit the menu or pause the dish from a simple panel, and the digital employee stops offering it at once on every channel, with no developer needed.
Does it replace the delivery apps?
It does not replace them. It gives you a direct ordering channel on WhatsApp and your website where the customer’s data stays with you and no app commission is paid. Many restaurants run both.
Can we try it before signing?
Yes. The /try page has a demo restaurant: book a table or order delivery by chat or by voice call and watch the booking being recorded.
