AI employees for Canadian restaurants.
We build AI receptionists, review engines, and recall sequences for restaurants across Ottawa, Toronto, and Vancouver — so you compete on velocity, not turnover. Live in 14 days. Free strategic audit, no obligation.
Where Canadian restaurants typically leak.
Real signals from 50+ restaurant sites we've audited. The same patterns repeat — and they're all fixable.
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.
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.
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.
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 Receptionist
Answers reservation calls 24/7. Books directly into OpenTable, Resy, Tock, or SevenRooms. Never busy, never on hold, never forgets to call back.
Review Manager
SMS review request 2 hours after each reservation closes out. Auto-responds to every public review. Tracks sentiment and surfaces patterns.
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.
Content Writer
Weekly Google Business Profile post (specials, behind-the-scenes, chef notes), Instagram captions tied to menu changes, neighborhood newsletter.
Lead Qualifier
For private events / catering inquiries — captures size, date, budget, dietary, contact. Routes hot leads to your inbox with a 1-line summary.

The math, for a typical restaurant.
Toast and OpenTable benchmarks for Canadian SMB restaurants. Adjust to your real traffic and we'll re-run.
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.
= $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.
