Virtual Assistant for Restaurants

Is Your Restaurant Losing Customers After Hours?

It's 11:30pm on a Friday. Your kitchen has just closed, your team is clearing the dining room, and your phone won't stop ringing. Calls no one can answer. WhatsApp messages piling up. Potential customers looking for information about your menu, bookings for tomorrow, questions about allergens.

Every missed call is an empty table. Every unanswered message is a customer who books with the competition. In hospitality, where competition is fierce and margins are tight, you can't afford to lose a single opportunity.

ChatME is the virtual assistant for restaurants that never sleeps, never tires, and never misses a booking.

What ChatME Can Do for Your Restaurant

Smart 24/7 Booking Management

Your AI virtual assistant manages bookings in real time, with no human intervention:

• Checks table availability instantly
• Confirms bookings automatically
• Sends reminders ahead of the date
• Allows changes and cancellations
• Manages smart waiting lists
• Coordinates large group bookings with special requirements

A real example: "Hi, we'd like to book for 4 people this Saturday at 9pm" → The assistant checks availability, confirms the booking, asks for a name and phone number, and sends instant confirmation via WhatsApp.

Complete Menu Information

Your customers are constantly asking about your food. ChatME answers instantly with detailed information about:

• The full, up-to-date menu with descriptions and prices
• Allergens and dietary restrictions for every dish
• Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, and lactose-free options
• Specific ingredients and product origins
• Daily menus and special offers
• Personalized recommendations based on preferences
• Pairings and the chef's suggestions

A real case: "I'm celiac, what gluten-free options do you have?" → The assistant lists every suitable dish, details the ingredients, warns about possible cross-contamination, and offers to book a table.

Catering and Events Management

The virtual assistant doesn't just handle day-to-day tables. It also helps with:

• Catering quote requests
• Organizing private events and celebrations
• Information on private rooms and capacity
• Special menus for corporate groups
• Technical requirements (projector, microphone, etc.)

It captures valuable leads after hours, when your team isn't available to handle complex inquiries.

General Information and Frequently Asked Questions

Your assistant instantly answers the repetitive questions that eat up your team's time: opening hours, address and directions, parking in the area, nearby public transport, cancellation policies, payment methods, terrace availability, whether pets are allowed, and accessibility.

The Real Problem Facing Spanish Hospitality

Restaurants in Spain face unique challenges:

• Competitive saturation: in cities like Barcelona, Madrid, or Valencia you can find 30+ restaurants on a single street.
• Staff shortages: hospitality suffers a chronic crisis of qualified staff.
• Tight margins: operating costs rise while prices can't go up indefinitely.
• Expectations of immediacy: customers expect instant responses. A 2-hour delay means losing the booking.
• Allergen regulations: EU Regulation 1169/2011 requires you to provide allergen information. Answering incorrectly can have serious legal consequences.

How ChatME Solves These Problems

Cuts Operating Costs by Up to 60%

An AI virtual assistant is the equivalent of having a person dedicated exclusively to customer service, but with no payroll cost, no days off, no errors from fatigue, and no initial training.

Do the math: average hospitality salary in Spain: €1,400/month + Social Security = €1,900/month. ChatME: a fraction of that cost, with 24/7 availability.

Increases Occupancy and Revenue

Restaurants that implement virtual assistants report:

• +35% in direct bookings (no platform commissions)
• +28% in inquiry-to-booking conversion
• A 40% reduction in no-shows thanks to automatic reminders
• A higher average check from personalized recommendations

Improves Your Online Reputation

Fast, accurate service = satisfied customers = better reviews on Google, TripAdvisor, and social media. Each additional positive review increases your bookings by 5-9%.

Automatic Legal Compliance

ChatME is trained on your full menu, including every allergen required by European regulations: gluten, crustaceans, eggs, fish, peanuts, soy, dairy, tree nuts, celery, mustard, sesame, sulphites, lupin, and molluscs.

Why ChatME vs Other Solutions

Trained Specifically for Spanish Hospitality

ChatME understands the Spanish cultural and culinary context: local culinary terminology, typical Spanish hours (lunch 1–4pm, dinner 8–11pm), colloquial expressions, and knowledge of common diets and restrictions.

Up and Running in 24 Hours

You don't need technical knowledge, you don't change your current systems, and you don't spend weeks training your team. The process is simple: you send us your menu and restaurant information → we train the assistant on your data → testing and adjustments → launch.

Total Personalization

Your virtual assistant speaks with your restaurant's voice: a formal tone for fine dining, a relaxed style for gastrobars, technical language for gourmet restaurants, and a warm, personal manner for family businesses.

What Restaurant Owners Say

"We used to lose 15-20 bookings a week because we couldn't answer the phone during peak hours. Now ChatME handles everything" — Laura M., Restaurante La Braseria, Madrid.

"Allergen questions were a constant headache. The assistant answers with absolute precision" — Javier F., owner, La Tasqueta de Blai, Barcelona.

"We recovered our investment in ChatME in less than a month. Just from the extra bookings we capture after hours" — Carmen S., Manager, Restaurante Don Juan, Valencia.
