Reservations
It takes reservations by your rules for times and group size. Large groups it puts in front of you to confirm.
Business Assistant for restaurants
An employee for your restaurant. It takes reservations while service is running.
Reservations, takeaway, daily menu: done, also in a full service.
Index Group AG sets up the Business Assistant for restaurants: an employee that works on your website, around the clock. You run it by WhatsApp.
Where we work: Zurich and all of German-speaking Switzerland
You know this
- At a quarter past twelve the place is full, and that is when the phone rings.
- Someone wants eight seats tonight, someone asks whether the risotto is gluten-free.
- Whoever reaches nobody books elsewhere.
What the Business Assistant does for you
Daily menu by WhatsApp
In the morning you write the daily menu in WhatsApp, and it is on the website. It answers questions about it correctly.
Takeaway
Order to pick up, paid at once with TWINT, Apple Pay or Google Pay if you like. You see the order right away.
The matching demo
We do not have a demo for restaurants yet. The closest is Bäckerei Natalia: order, pay, pick up. Reservations work like booking at Coiffeur Sofia.
Demo
Natalia Bakery
Order like at the counter.
- “3 croissants for half past seven”: type or speak, and Lea takes the order.
- Lea checks opening hours and cake lead times; you pay with TWINT or card.
- The owner's phone: a new loaf is in the range at once, and every order arrives as a message.
Demo businesses to try, not client references.
