Questions

Restaurants & Bars, answered.

Is there an AI that takes restaurant reservations on WhatsApp and on the website?
Yes. Semplo's AI answers guests on WhatsApp, your website chat and email, checks table availability and confirms the reservation, day or night. It answers questions about the menu, allergens and opening hours from your own information, and passes groups and special requests to you. Setup takes about 15 minutes; there is a free plan and paid plans start at €49 a month.
What does Semplo actually do for a Restaurants & Bars business?
It runs AI Front Desk, AI Booking Assistant, Your own booking page and Deposits & no-show cover and the rest of the workflows on this page. You set your services, hours and prices once, and from then on your AI answers enquiries, books appointments and follows up on its own.
Can it answer Restaurants & Bars enquiries when we are closed?
Yes. Your AI replies within seconds at any hour, including nights, weekends and public holidays. Most enquiries arrive outside opening hours, which is precisely when a competitor answers first.
Which channels does it answer on?
Web chat on your own site, WhatsApp, email and SMS on every paid plan. Voice calls are included on Scale. Every channel lands in one inbox, so you read the whole history of a customer in one place.
Does it reply in my customers’ language?
Yes. It reads the language a customer writes in and replies in that same language, across English, Dutch, Italian, French and German among others. You do not configure anything per language.
Does it book into the calendar I already use?
Yes. Bookings are written into your Semplo calendar and sync both ways with Google Calendar and Outlook, so your team carries on working the way it does now.
What happens when the AI cannot answer something?
It stops guessing and hands the conversation to you, with the full thread attached and the customer told that a person will come back to them. You decide which topics always escalate.
How long does setup take, and what does it cost?
Most businesses are live in about 15 minutes: you fill in your details and paste one line of code on your website. The free plan is €0 a month and paid plans start at €49 a month excluding VAT, with a 14-day trial.
