- An assistant that answers dinersIt knows your menu and your hours, replies day and night, and hands the conversation to you the moment it isn't sure.
- Promotions, offers and reservationsRun an offer, take bookings, set a delivery radius — all switched on or off by you.
- See who's orderingWhat sells, what gets reordered, and which dishes people ask about but you don't list.
