Presence & reservations
A branded site that carries the reviews, with reservation, waitlist, and private-event intake in one place.
Who it's for
Restaurants
We start with the public presence and guest-facing layer — a branded site, reservation and private-event intake, review visibility, and follow-up — then connect the ordering, payment, and POS tools you already run rather than ripping them out. Kitchen hardware, POS replacement, and food-safety compliance stay out of scope unless explicitly scoped.
Signals
When this is the right fit.
- Reservations, waitlist, and private-event inquiries spread across phone, DMs, and third-party apps
- Strong reviews the website does not carry, with the booking link buried or missing
- Online ordering, loyalty, and email each run from a separate rented tool
- Owner cannot see covers, repeat guests, or event leads without asking staff
AI in this sector
- Inquiry triage — OpenClaw routes and drafts replies to reservation and private-event requests from the CRM record
- Follow-up drafts — review-request and repeat-visit messages drafted from the guest record
Graph layer: Guest → visit → event → referral patterns surface which guests drive repeat covers and private-event bookings, and which channels bring the highest-value regulars — visibility a flat reservations list cannot give.

How the work varies
The same Business OS idea, tuned to this operating model.
Guest follow-up
Review requests, repeat-visit nudges, and private-event follow-up tied to the guest record.
Owner visibility
Owner view of covers, event leads, repeat guests, and follow-up gaps without asking staff.
First build
Start with the highest-friction handoff.
Start with the public presence and reservation/event intake, then connect the ordering, payment, and POS tools you already run before expanding.
Guardrail
Connect existing POS, online-ordering, and payment tools rather than replacing them; kitchen hardware, POS replacement, and food-safety compliance stay out of scope unless scoped.

Ownership means portable data, exportable configuration, clear exit rights, and client-specific workflow IP. For managed cloud clients that is the model; literal infrastructure ownership is the self-host deployment case. Either way the operating layer is branded to your business, not rented from a vendor.
