Popular Restaurant Chatbot Features

Simple & Fast Reservations

Get more patrons through the door by making it quick and easy to make reservations directly within Messenger. The Messenger bot can be seamlessly integrated with your existing booking system so everything is updated in real-time.

Instantly Handle Enquiries

Free up valuable staff time by instantly handling frequently asked questions such as directions, opening times, dietary requirements, disabled access, and daily specials. Conversations can be redirected to a live operator or email at any time.

Turn Customers Into Advocates

During your conversations, custom attributes can be collected in real-time. This data can be used to build a detailed customer profile. You can use this information to keep people coming back by sending messages to loyal and lapsed customers.

Increase Event Bookings

Gather leads and sell tickets to your events, provide discount codes, up-sell and cross-sell your services and provide people with instant personalised quotes.

Ratings & Feedback on Autopilot

We can help put your feedback on auto-pilot and generate more positive reviews. Economists have found that when a restaurant rating improved by just half a star it was much more likely to be full at peak dining times.

Personal Recommendations

We can create a conversational experience that can provide personalised recommendations based on the user’s personal preferences. For example, you can recommend wine based on their food choice.

Restaurant Omnichannel Marketing Automation

Audience Growth

People can engage and subscribe to your Messenger bot through various channels.

- Chat widget on your website
- Facebook & Instagram post comments
- Facebook & Instagram social adverts

Improved Experience & Support

More people use social messaging apps than social media on a daily basis. Giving consumers easy access to your business on these messaging channels offers many benefits and is key to maintaining high customer satisfaction, brand loyalty, and lifetime value.

Feedback and Reviews

Messenger chatbots aren't just great for acquiring new customers, they can help turn customers into advocates. For example, you can collect customer feedback and ask for reviews from specific groups of people based on their actions. Businesses can also create a loyalty scheme directly within Facebook Messenger that tracks everything in real-time.

Audience Segmentation

You can leverage declared data and answers provided during your conversations such as product preferences, interests, and customer intents to create customer profiles and segment customers like never before. This data can be used within your Messenger, email, and SMS restaurant marketing campaigns to deliver personalized content that converts.

Remarketing Campaigns

The same fit all message will not motivate people to take action. Using custom attributes and tags you can reach specific groups of people and deliver a message that is personal to them. Depending on the type of message and the action required you can utilize various channels including email, SMS, and Messenger.

Austrian National Tourist Office

Tanja - Marketing Manager

The bot allows us to offer very granular recommendations for each of the 576 possible unique combinations. Rather than using a chatbot to handle customer service like so many brands do, we opted to create a standalone interactive winter campaign which allows users to directly engage with us by choice rather than circumstance. It’s been a pleasure working with Chit Chat.
