Industries · Restaurants & Food Service
Answer hungry customers around the clock, an AI agent that captures the order and answers the menu, and never clears an allergy or guesses at nutrition.
A customer wants your hours, whether you deliver to their area, and if the crust is gluten-free. Fred answers the general questions, captures the order, and routes your team, while allergen safety and any food-safety call go straight to a person.
Built for allergen disclosure law. Every safety call stays with your team.

Server-side guardrails
Food service runs on two things that can hurt someone if Fred gets them wrong: allergens and alcohol. This is the compliance panel you manage in the admin: the industry pack automation, your own custom rules, and the hard limits Fred holds no matter how it’s asked. All of it is enforced on our servers before a word reaches the visitor. Not a suggestion in a prompt a clever question can talk around.

The boundaries Fred holds, no matter how a visitor asks.
Layered on top of the pack, unique to your restaurant. No developer required.
The pack is the starting line, not the ceiling. Every deployment can add its own rules in the admin, block, warn, or just log on any phrase you choose, in either phase, with your own response message. They run right alongside the pack.
These industry rules stack on top of the always-on baseline, FDA allergen-disclosure rules, state dram-shop laws, and local health codes, and macro overlays. See how the guardrail layers work
Every conversation lands in your CRM with a lead score, a purchase probability, and a plain-language summary. The customer ready to order gets routed before the casual browser, so your team works the order first instead of guessing.
Allergen safety depends on ingredients and shared prep surfaces that only your staff can verify. Fred routes every allergen question to a person before you order. That boundary is enforced on our servers before Fred ever speaks, not suggested in a prompt a clever question can talk around.
No. Values change with prep and portion. Fred points you to posted info or a team member rather than guessing.
Fred captures the details and routes your team to confirm and quote larger orders.
