How the plug-in works for Restaurants & Food Service
A restaurant's phone rings hardest exactly when the kitchen and floor are busiest. Every takeaway call ties up someone who should be serving, and the questions are the same each night: what is on the menu, what is gluten-free, how long will it take. When a customer asks an AI assistant instead, the answer should come from your menu, not from a guess or an out-of-date listing site.
The customer asks what you have, the plug-in lists matching items with prices, and once they confirm it sends your team an itemised order with a total and a reference. General questions about menu, allergens, hours and reservation requests are answered from your business profile.
Your team confirms every order itself. The plug-in never takes payment and only shares what you have published.
The Restaurants & Food Service plug-in is available to businesses in any country. Free setup of your business profile in ChatGPT is for US businesses for now; outside the US, choose a plug-in plan and we confirm your setup with you. Plug-in plans are $24.99 a month or $199 a year, paid through Stripe.
Where it pays off
Takeaway orders arrive written down instead of shouted over a busy dining room.
A customer asks what is gluten-free and gets the dishes you have marked, not a guess.
An order with the same notes every week, sent in one message.
A customer checks the order reference instead of calling the host stand.
