AI for local businesses
AI for Restaurants in New Hampshire
An AI receptionist that answers every call, a custom-coded website built for the next generation of AI search, and automation that follows up. Built in New Hampshire for restaurants here and for local businesses worldwide.
The countable leak
Every table is full and the phone will not stop ringing
It is seven on a Friday night and every table is full. The phone rings three times in ten minutes: a party of eight for tomorrow, a question about the gluten-free menu, and someone planning a rehearsal dinner for forty. Nobody can step off the line to answer. Two of those callers try the next place on their list, and the rehearsal dinner, the biggest check of the month, goes with them.
- Reservation calls during the rush, when nobody can step away
- Catering and private event requests that call once and move on
- Large-party bookings that go to whoever answers first
- Questions after close about hours, the menu, and takeout
Optimus builds restaurants a single connected system: an AI receptionist that answers the phone during the dinner rush and after close, takes down reservation and catering requests and texts them to you, a custom-coded website that gets found on Google and in AI answers when someone asks where to eat nearby, and automation that texts back the calls you miss. Optimus started at a restaurant: Sayde's Restaurant in Salem, New Hampshire, which the founder's grandmother has owned for more than thirty years.
The missed-call text back runs on Go High Level, with your business texting approved by the carriers. See the Go High Level setup.
One system
Built around how restaurants actually work
An AI receptionist that picks up while your staff is slammed
It answers on the first ring during service and after you lock the door, handles the questions your staff answers all night, such as hours, parking, and whether you take walk-ins, and takes down reservation and catering requests with a name, a party size, and a callback number. The details reach you as a text, not a voicemail nobody checks until morning.
A website that gets found when someone asks where to eat
We write and hand-code your site so your menu, hours, location, and catering details are plain to Google and to the AI assistants people now ask for a recommendation. Delivery apps and directories own their pages. Your website is the one place online that is yours, and it tells your story the way you would.
Missed-call automation that keeps the big tables with you
When a call slips through anyway, the caller gets a text back right away, so a party of twelve or a catering order stays in your hands instead of dialing the next restaurant. Every answered call reaches you as a summary, and every missed call gets its text.
Straight answers
Questions restaurants ask us
Can the AI receptionist take a reservation?
It takes the request: the name, the party size, the date and time, any notes, and a callback number, then sends it to you or your host as a text. If you already use a reservation system, we check on the 15-minute call whether it can be connected. Either way the request reaches a person instead of ringing out.
Will it answer the questions my staff answers all night?
Yes, from the facts you give it: your hours, holiday hours, parking, whether you take walk-ins, whether there is a gluten-free menu, and how takeout works. When a caller asks something it does not know, it says so and passes the question to you rather than guessing.
We are already on Google and the delivery apps. Why do we need our own website?
Because the apps own their pages and the customer relationship that comes with them. Your own website is where your menu, your hours, your catering, and your story live in your words, and it is what Google and the AI assistants read when someone asks where to eat nearby. You own it outright.
What about catering and private events?
Those are often the biggest checks, and they usually start with a phone call. The receptionist captures the date, the headcount, the occasion, and a way to reach the caller, and sends it to you right away so you can call back while the caller is still deciding.
Is this a fit for a small, old-school restaurant?
That is exactly where Optimus started. Sayde's Restaurant in Salem, New Hampshire ran on paper tickets and a cash register for more than thirty years before we helped it change how it reaches people, and it is still open. We scope your system on a 15-minute call, and you own everything we build.
