Industries · Restaurants & Food Service
Answer diners around the clock, an AI agent that books the table and answers the menu, and never clears an allergy, takes a drink order, or guesses at nutrition.
A diner wants to know if you have a table Friday, what’s on the menu, and whether the pasta is gluten-free. Fred answers the general questions, captures the reservation, and routes your team, while allergen safety, alcohol, and any food-safety call go straight to a person.
Built for allergen and alcohol law. Every safety call and pour stays with your team.
Talk to Fred.
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 diner ready to book Friday gets routed before the casual browser, so your team works the reservation first instead of guessing.
Allergen safety depends on ingredients, prep, and cross-contamination that only your staff can verify, and a wrong answer can hurt someone. 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. Alcohol service requires age verification and responsible service by staff. Fred answers general questions and connects a team member.
No. Actual values change with prep and portion. Fred points you to posted nutrition info or your server rather than guessing.
Fred captures the reservation details and routes or books your team in seconds. Direct booking depends on the tools you already run. Our training videos show you how to connect them, or you can add a paid setup.
