How to Sell AI to Restaurants
Restaurants miss calls constantly during busy shifts — and every missed call is a lost reservation or takeout order. AI handles reservations, answers menu questions, manages takeout inquiries, and provides after-hours information. At $300–$600/month, it's an easy sell to restaurant owners who hate voicemail.
What is To Restaurants?
Selling AI to restaurants means positioning AI voice agents as the solution for missed calls during busy periods. Restaurants lose revenue when calls go to voicemail. AI answers every call instantly, handles reservations, answers menu questions, and takes basic orders. The pitch is simple: never miss a call again.
