# Hospitality and restaurants: software, AI and automation

> DevRaxo builds voice and WhatsApp agents for restaurant reservations and enquiries, ordering websites and apps, loyalty and CRM automation, and social content for hospitality businesses. The aim is to capture every booking during service, reduce no-shows and keep guests coming back.

- For: Restaurants, cafés, hotels and venues
- Page: https://devraxo.com/industries/hospitality-and-restaurants/

## The problems
- **Service time is phone time.** Calls come in exactly when staff are serving. Unanswered, they become bookings at the restaurant down the road.
- **Commission eats the margin.** Delivery and booking platforms take a cut on customers who would have ordered directly.
- **Content is an afterthought.** A great plate with a poor photo loses to a poor plate with a great one.

## What we build
- **Answer during service** ([AI receptionist](https://devraxo.com/services/voice/ai-receptionist/), from £1,900): Bookings, opening hours and menu questions handled while your team serves.
- **Direct ordering** ([E-commerce stores](https://devraxo.com/services/web/ecommerce-stores/), from £2,900): A fast online ordering and gift-card site that keeps the margin with you.
- **Make people hungry** ([Social content and reels](https://devraxo.com/services/creative/social-content-and-reels/), from £800): Reels and stills of the menu designed for the feed, on a regular rhythm.
- **Cut no-shows** ([Booking and reminders agent](https://devraxo.com/services/voice/booking-and-reminders/), from £1,200): Confirmations and reminders, with a waiting list for last-minute covers.

## Questions
### Can it take table bookings into our reservation system?
If your system has an API or calendar feed, yes. Otherwise we use a shared booking calendar, and we tell you the trade-offs.

### Does it handle allergen questions?
It answers from the information you approve and passes any allergy question to a member of staff, since the cost of a wrong answer is too high.

### Can you make our menu photos better?
We produce social content and imagery from your real dishes, and we are clear about anything generated.
