AI CRM for restaurants and hospitality

When the team is on the floor, no one picks up the phone. Vendrava answers reservation calls and WhatsApp messages, handles groups and events, and reduces no-shows with reminders and confirmations, without taking anything away from in-person service.

The restaurant and hospitality challenge

Reservations lost during service
In the middle of service, the team is looking after tables, not the phone or WhatsApp. Many calls go unanswered, and those reservations end up somewhere else.
Groups and events that eat up time
Company lunches, celebrations, and set menus take several back-and-forths to nail down party size, date, allergies, and budget, right when there's the least room to reply quickly.
No-shows that leave tables empty
A confirmed reservation that never shows up blocks a table that could have been filled. Without reminders or prior confirmation, no-shows eat into your capacity and the night's margin.

How Vendrava helps

When a call or WhatsApp message comes in and the team is on the floor, Vendrava answers with an AI agent that takes the reservation, handles questions about hours, menu, or availability, and records the key details: party size, date, time slot, and special requests. For groups and events it gathers the information needed and hands the conversation to a person with everything summarized. Before the reserved day it sends reminders and asks for confirmation to reduce no-shows. The AI handles answering and coordinating; the in-person experience and guest care stay with the team.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Does Vendrava replace in-person service?+

No. Vendrava answers calls and WhatsApp and manages reservations when the team is busy looking after tables or after hours. The in-person experience and guest care stay with the human team.

How does it help reduce no-shows?+

Vendrava sends reminders before the reserved date and asks the guest to confirm. If the reservation is no longer needed, that table can be freed up in time for someone else instead of sitting empty.

Can it handle group and event reservations?+

Yes. For groups, celebrations, or set menus, the AI collects the details needed (party size, date, allergies, menu type, rough budget) and hands the conversation to a team member with everything summarized to finalize the details.

What if the guest prefers to speak with a person?+

The conversation can move to a team member at any point. The AI is there to take repetitive calls off the team and answer when no one can, not to block human contact.

Does it work for a single venue or for multiple restaurants?+

It works for both. Reservations, messages, and automations can be organized by venue, keeping follow-up centralized for chains or groups with several locations.
