## Key benefits

### Bookings while you sleep
Customers can request a table at 11pm on a Saturday. The AI collects name, date, time and party size and stores it for your team to confirm.

### Menu & allergen questions
Train the AI on your full menu, daily specials, allergens and dietary options. It answers instantly without interrupting your staff.

### After-hours coverage
Outside trading hours, the AI informs customers of your opening times and offers a callback option so no enquiry falls through the cracks.

## What it handles

**Table reservation requests**
The AI collects the full booking details, repeats them back for confirmation and stores them in your Lekker AI dashboard for your host to finalise.

**Menu, specials and pricing queries**
Customers ask what's on the menu, whether there are vegetarian options or what the daily specials are. The AI answers from your knowledge base.

**Dietary and allergen enquiries**
Guests with allergies can ask before they arrive. The AI answers from the information you've provided.

**Directions and parking queries**
Reduce the number of "how do I find you?" calls with an AI that answers location, parking and public transport questions automatically.

**Complaint collection**
An unhappy guest on your website gets a professional, empathetic response. Their details and complaint are logged and escalated to your manager.

## Frequently asked questions

**Can the AI actually confirm a table booking?**
Lekker AI collects all booking details and stores them in your dashboard. Your host confirms from there, which prevents double-bookings and keeps you in control of availability.

**Does it know my menu and daily specials?**
Yes. You paste your menu, specials and pricing into the knowledge base. Update it any time and the AI reflects the changes immediately.

**How much does it cost?**
Plans start at R999/month. Setup takes under 10 minutes. No developer required.
