Questions & answers
Zanus AI for Restaurants: questions & answers
Can an AI answer restaurant phone calls during the dinner rush?
Yes. AI Phone answers every line on the first ring while hosts seat guests and servers run food, so Friday's calls stop ringing out. It books tables, takes takeout orders with a pickup time, answers hours and parking, and transfers complaints to the manager on duty.
What does the AI say when a guest asks about allergens?
Only what your restaurant publishes, such as the allergen notes on your menu and your approved kitchen statement. It never guesses an ingredient or says a dish should be fine. A guest with a severe allergy is put through to the manager or chef, and the allergy is written on the reservation.
Can the AI take reservations for large parties?
Yes, within your rules. Parties up to your threshold are booked straight in; larger parties and private-room requests go to the events manager with date, headcount and dietary needs already collected, and deposit terms come only from your published policy.
Does the AI pretend to be the restaurant host?
No. It introduces itself as the restaurant's AI assistant. Guests who want a person can ask for the host or the manager at any point, and your rules decide when someone from the front-of-house team picks up.
Can the Back Office check purveyor invoices against what was delivered?
Yes. It reads each invoice and the delivery slip, matches them line by line against what you ordered, and flags shorts, substitutions and billing changes for the chef or the manager; nothing is disputed or paid until you approve it.
Can the Back Office keep permits, licenses and inspection follow-ups on time?
Yes. It keeps your food permits, licenses and inspection reports on file, puts every renewal and follow-up date on the calendar with an owner, and reminds the manager before a date passes. Items from the last inspection stay on the list until someone closes them.
How do the Front Office and the Back Office work together for a restaurant?
The Front Office answers the call, books the party of twelve and captures the catering order; the booking, the call transcript and the order land on the guest’s record in the Back Office, where the event order, the prep list and the purveyor orders take over.
