Where Canadian restaurants typically leak.

Real signals from 50+ restaurant sites we've audited. The same patterns repeat — and they're all fixable.

Leak 01

30% of reservations happen outside service hours

Square Future-of-Commerce 2024: nearly a third of bookings come in after 9pm or before 11am. If your phone rolls to voicemail and your booking link is buried in a footer, those covers vanish.

Leak 02

Review velocity stalls within 6 months of opening

BrightLocal 2024: 88% of diners check reviews before deciding. The restaurant with 12 reviews from 2022 loses to the one with 4 from last week — even if the food is better.

Leak 03

No email list = no midweek-cover lever

Tuesday and Wednesday are the highest-margin nights for most restaurants. Without an email list of past diners, there's no channel to fill them — only ads, which lose to the email-list operators.

Leak 04

Google Business Profile is dormant

No new posts. No fresh photos. No Q&A. Google interprets dormancy as "not a great recommendation" and drops you in the Map Pack — even when you're geographically closest.

The 5 AI employees most restaurants need.

We don't deploy generic AI. We deploy specific AI employees that fix specific structural leaks.

AI 02

Review Manager

AI 03

Recall & Reactivation

Past diners who haven't returned in 60+ days get a personalized text: "Tuesday tasting menu starting 6pm — saving you a 4-top?" Fills midweek covers.

AI 04

Content Writer

Weekly Google Business Profile post (specials, behind-the-scenes, chef notes), Instagram captions tied to menu changes, neighborhood newsletter.

The math, for a typical restaurant.

Toast and OpenTable benchmarks for Canadian SMB restaurants. Adjust to your real traffic and we'll re-run.

Industry baseline

An average Canadian SMB restaurant gets 800 monthly visits to its website, converts 6% of intent into bookings, and has an average customer LTV of $250.

800 visits/mo × 25% leak rate × 6% conversion × $250 LTV × 12 months
= $36,000/year recoverable

That's the typical upside from plugging just the after-hours booking leak. The full audit usually surfaces 4-6 more leaks compounding on top.

Restaurant FAQ.

Will it integrate with my POS or reservation system?

Yes. AGNT/01 integrates AI receptionist and recall systems with OpenTable, Resy, Tock, SevenRooms, and most POS platforms (Toast, Square, TouchBistro, Lightspeed). The 14-day rollout includes integration setup — you don't lift a finger.

How does AI handle a Friday rush?

The AI receptionist answers reservation inquiries in parallel — never busy, never on hold. Voicemails get auto-transcribed and called back within 5 minutes. Reservations outside hours get booked into your system automatically.

What does this cost for a restaurant?

Free 30-min strategic intro call (no commitment). Foundation package starts at $2,997 build + $897/month for restaurants with one location. Growth at $5,997 + $1,497/mo for the full AI suite. Most restaurants recover the monthly cost in the first 6 weeks via captured after-hours bookings alone.

How fast can a restaurant be live?

14 days from kickoff to live AI receptionist + review velocity engine. Recall sequences and Google Business Profile optimization roll in week 2-4.

Do you work with restaurants outside Ontario?

Yes. We work with restaurants across Canada — Toronto, Mississauga, Brampton, Vancouver, Calgary, Montreal, Halifax. Ottawa is just where the agency is headquartered. Same pricing nationwide.

What if I already have a marketing agency?

AI employees aren't a marketing agency replacement — they're an automation layer beneath whatever you're already running. Your agency handles strategy and creative; the AI handles 24/7 execution. They tend to amplify each other rather than compete.
