Opening a café, restaurant or pub?
The best time to sort the bookings, orders and reviews is before they pile up. I'll set up what a new café, restaurant or pub needs from day one, in your name, and show you it working before your first customer.
Or call 01206 636 400, or , my AI assistant.
Set up right, from day one.
A website from day one
A fast site with booking and enquiries built in, on a domain in your name. Yours once it's paid for.
From day oneLive before you open, so customers can find you and book.
Bookings and questions answered
Table bookings, opening times and group sizes handled by phone or message. Allergy questions always go to a person.
From day oneReady for your first bookings, so the diary runs itself from week one.
Specials posted for you
Photograph the board and get posts ready for your socials and website.
From day oneGood first impressions, from your very first customers.
Stock and supplier reminders
Order lists and reminders so you don't run out on a Saturday.

Records ready for tax
Receipts photographed and logged in software that's ready for Making Tax Digital. Your accountant, or you, does the tax.
From day oneTidy records from the first sale, so the year end isn't a shoebox of receipts.

Friday night
The phone rings during service. The assistant takes the booking and texts the customer a confirmation. Nobody has to leave the kitchen or the bar.
From the Dutch Quarter to Mersea's seafront, Friday nights are busy everywhere. Every call answered is a table filled.
- AI assistant: Hello, thanks for calling. I'm the restaurant's AI assistant. How can I help?
- Caller: Can I book a table for six on Friday at 7?
- AI assistant: Yes, we have a table for six at 7pm on Friday. Can I take a name?
- Caller: Sam. Is the fish gluten free?
- AI assistant: I'll pass allergy questions to the team, who'll call you to talk it through. Your table's booked for Friday at 7.

Read the call
- Amy Hi, you're through to Brightwater Kitchen. I'm Amy, Frankie's AI assistant, and calls are recorded so Frankie gets your message. How can I help?
- Caller Oh, hi! I didn't think anyone would pick up on a Friday night. Could I book a table for six tomorrow? It's my mum's seventieth. Half seven, ideally.
- Amy Lovely. I'll just check the bookings.
- Amy Half seven's gone, I'm afraid, but I can do quarter past seven, or eight o'clock. Both are window tables, looking out over the creek.
- Caller Quarter past seven's perfect. Oh, and my brother's got a nut allergy. Is the crab linguine okay for him?
- Amy I won't guess on allergies. I'll pass that to the kitchen, and someone will ring you in the morning to go through the menu. Can I take your name?
- Caller Hannah Brewer.
- Amy Thanks, Hannah. That's six, tomorrow at quarter past seven, with the nut allergy flagged for the kitchen. I've texted you a confirmation.
- Caller Brilliant. I thought I'd be leaving a voicemail and hoping for the best.
- Amy Not tonight. Happy birthday to your mum.
