Where the money leaks

Empty Tables Don’t Start in the Dining Room. They Start Online.

Whether you run a neighborhood bar, a fine-dining room or a resort, the guest who gets a fast, friendly answer is the guest who books.

🌙

Late-night questions go unanswered

Guests plan tomorrow’s dinner at midnight. If nobody answers, they book somewhere that does.

📞

Phones ring during the rush

Your host stand can’t take a party-planning call at 7:30 on a Friday. That booking walks.

🥂

Private events slip through

Event inquiries are your biggest checks, and they sit in a shared inbox for days.

🤖

Invisible to AI search

People ask ChatGPT and Google for “best patio near me.” If your site doesn’t say it clearly, you’re not the answer.

One booking, start to finish

The 11:48 PM Story

  1. 11:48 PM

    A guest finds you

    They searched “private party room Chicago” or asked an AI. Your site loads fast on their phone.

  2. 11:50 PM

    Your AI answers

    Room size, menu style, parking, the bar package. Friendly, accurate and on-brand.

  3. 11:52 PM

    The inquiry is logged

    Date, headcount, menu and contact info land in Carma CRM. Your events manager gets an email.

  4. 10:15 AM

    Your manager calls

    They already know the party. The first call is about the menu, not twenty questions.

  5. 2:00 PM

    Deposit received

    While other places are still playing phone tag.

What Are Missed Inquiries Costing You?

Revenue at risk each year
If you win back half
Extra events per year

Based on your inputs: missed inquiries × your booking rate × average check. The “win back half” line assumes faster answers recover half of them.

Questions From Owners & Managers

Can the AI take reservations?

It answers reservation questions and collects party details for events and large groups. If you use a booking platform like OpenTable or Resy, it sends guests straight to your booking link.

What about allergies?

The assistant shares what’s on your menu but never guarantees allergen safety. Allergy questions are routed to your staff, every time.

Does it work in Spanish?

Yes. It speaks English, Spanish (Mexico), Polish and German, starts in each guest’s language, and labels every inquiry with the language your team should reply in.

Will it sound like us?

Yes. Pick a tone from friendly to upscale, and we train it on your real menus, specials and voice.

How long does it take to launch?

About six weeks for the full system. If your website is solid, the AI assistant and CRM can go live in about two weeks.

What does it cost?

It depends on what you need. Book a 20-minute hospitality review and you’ll leave with a clear plan and real numbers.

20 minutes. Real answers.
