Where busy venues leak covers and sales

The product is good — the food, the shop, the experience. What leaks revenue is everything around it: the phone, the reviews, the posts you never have time to make.

The phone rings hardest when you can't answer

Friday, 6 PM: walk-ins at the door, tickets up, and the phone ringing with reservations, birthday parties, and 'are you open?' Every call that hits voicemail is covers or sales walking to the place that picked up.

Reviews decide who walks in — and yours are stale

Happy guests rarely post on their own. One unanswered bad review sits at the top of your profile while the spot down the street quietly collects five new five-stars a week.

Social media is a second job you don't have time for

You know the special, the event, the new arrival should be posted. But it's 11 PM after close, and it doesn't happen — again. An empty feed tells people you might not even be open.

The same twelve questions, all day

Hours, parking, allergens, gift cards, private parties, do you take walk-ins. Every answer pulls someone off the floor mid-service — and unanswered ones cost you the booking.

What we build for places like yours

Four fixes, each tied to one of our fixed-price services — set up around your menu, your hours, and how your service actually runs.

AI Receptionist & Chatbot

A host for your phone line

During the rush, missed calls get an instant text back. The assistant answers hours, menu, and parking questions from your real info, captures reservation and private-party requests — and routes allergy questions and complaints straight to a human, per rules you set.

From $750 setup + $150/mo

Local SEO & AI Visibility

A reviews engine that runs itself

Guests get a well-timed review request after their visit, your Google Business Profile stays fresh with hours, photos, and menus, and you show up when people ask Google — or ChatGPT — where to eat, shop, or play nearby.

From $500/mo

AI Marketing Engine

One photo becomes a week of marketing

Snap the special or the new arrival; AI drafts the posts and the email, you approve from your phone. Regulars hear about events and specials before the seats sit empty — every week, whether you're slammed or not.

Workflow Automation Sprint

Private parties without the email ping-pong

Event and catering inquiries hit a form that collects date, headcount, and budget, get an automatic quote from your packages, and follow up on their own — deposits and reminders included.

Example scenario

A Friday night with your AI host

Here's what a peak-night shift looks like once the systems are in place. Illustrative, not a transcript — your setup is built around your menu, policies, and booking flow.

  1. 5:50 PM

    Walk-ins stack up at the door and the phone rings out. The caller gets an instant text: want tonight's wait time, or to book a table for tomorrow? She books tomorrow at 7.

  2. 6:35 PM

    Website chat: 'Do you have gluten-free options?' Answered straight from your menu. A follow-up mentions a severe allergy — the conversation is flagged and handed to your staff, per your rules.

  3. 7:15 PM

    A party-of-14 birthday inquiry comes through the events form. Package options go out automatically with a deposit link; the date lands on your events calendar as tentative.

  4. 10:40 PM

    You close out. Tonight's reservation list is queued for a thank-you text tomorrow morning — with a review link for the guests who said yes to messages.

  5. SAT 9:00 AM

    Two new five-star reviews came in overnight. Draft owner replies are waiting for your one-tap approval with coffee.

  6. SAT 11:00 AM

    You snap one photo of the weekend special. Captions for your socials and an email to your list are drafted before the lunch rush starts.

This is an illustrative example, not a client case study. Every setup is scoped to how your business actually runs — that's what the free audit is for.

We've worked in your industry

We've worked this side of the counter. Tabletop Village — a board-game retail and events business — is a MyCo client, so we know what it means to run a floor, an events calendar, and a ringing phone at the same time.

Questions we hear from restaurant, retail and venue owners

Can the AI actually take reservations and orders?

It depends on your setup, and we'll be straight about it. If you use a booking system, the assistant can send guests directly into it or book against your calendar. If you don't, it captures the request — name, party size, time — and your staff confirms with one tap. Either way, the call stops going to voicemail.

What about allergies and complaints? I don't want a bot winging that.

Neither do we. You decide what the assistant is allowed to answer, and everything else escalates to a human. Allergy questions, complaints, and anything sensitive get flagged and routed to your staff immediately — the AI's job there is to respond fast and hand off, not to improvise.

I barely have time to run service. Who manages all this?

We do — every project comes with a dedicated project manager, and the receptionist is typically live in about a week. Day to day, your involvement is approving drafts from your phone and reading a short summary. It's built to give you hours back, not to become another system you babysit.

We're a small independent spot, not a chain. Is this priced for us?

That's exactly who it's built for. The AI Receptionist & Chatbot starts at $750 setup plus $150/month, and Local SEO & AI Visibility starts at $500/month — fixed prices, scoped up front. The Free AI Opportunity Audit costs nothing and tells you which piece pays back fastest.
