Frequently Asked Questions

How does the AI assistant know our specific menu items, allergens, and catering packages?

We build a custom knowledge base during onboarding using your actual menus, allergen guides, catering brochures, and FAQs. The AI assistant references this proprietary information — not generic restaurant data — so answers are accurate to your specific offerings.

Can the AI voice agent handle catering orders over the phone during lunch rush?

The AI voice agent answers calls 24/7, captures catering details (headcount, dietary needs, delivery address, timing), sends instant confirmation emails, and logs everything in your CRM — so your team sees complete inquiries without taking a single call.

Will the monthly SEO content actually rank for 'fast casual restaurant near me' searches in our neighborhoods?

The content engine generates location-specific pages for each service area, service pages for catering and dietary options, and blog posts on seasonal menus — all grounded in your real business and automatically interlinked. This topical cluster structure is what Google rewards for local rankings.

How long until our new website is live with Google Business Profile optimized?

Typically 30 days from kickoff. You get 25-30 hand-built core pages plus 60 AI-generated SEO pages at launch, with GBP and Bing profiles fully configured and optimized — so you appear in Maps and local search from day one.

What happens if we want to switch platforms later — do we lose our content and data?

No. You own the code, the content, the domain, and all your data. There's no lock-in. You can export everything and move elsewhere anytime — though most clients stay because the platform replaces 8-10 separate tools they'd otherwise pay for.

Schedule a 30-minute discovery call — we'll map out your 85+ page launch plan and show you exactly how the AI assistant handles your catering inquiries.
