AI receptionist for restaurants and cafes in Kokand
In Kokand some guests decide where to have lunch half an hour ahead, others choose a wedding hall half a year ahead, and they all write to one Telegram. The agent answers each of them: books a table, says what is on the menu and puts the banquet request together for your manager.
Hello! We’d like to come for iftar on Thursday, eight of us with children. Will the table be ready by sunset?
Hello! Yes, during Ramadan we lay iftar tables in advance: dates, tea and the hot dishes are served right at iftar time. A table for eight is free on Thursday. What name shall I book it under?
Lobar. And two high chairs, please.
We’ll set them out. Booked: a table for eight on Thursday for iftar, under Lobar, with two high chairs. On Thursday afternoon I’ll remind you and confirm the serving time.
Rahmat, thank you!
We look forward to seeing you. Have a good evening!
When customers write in Kokand
By lunchtime people ask about plov and delivery, and in the evening they arrange tables and tapchans. Wedding and engagement requests come late, once the family has decided, and it pays to handle one the same evening, before the relatives write to another hall.
Busiest hours: 11:00 to 14:00 and 18:00 to 22:00
An office books lunch for the team and wants everything on the table by 13:00.
In Ramadan, tables booked for iftar at sunset.
After a family council, a wedding request: the date, the guest count, whether a morning plov is needed.
Answers in Uzbek and Russian
The agent answers in the language the message came in and does not change it unless the customer asks. Here is one reply in both languages.
If a guest writes in English, the agent answers in English.
Xayrli kech, Dilbar! Juma kuni soat 20:00 ga terrasada olti kishilik boʻsh stol bor. Sizning nomingizga band qilib qoʻyaymi?
Добрый вечер, Дилбар! В пятницу на 20:00 на террасе есть свободный стол на шестерых. Забронировать на ваше имя?
What the agent takes off your hands
Books tables
Books a table for the right time and party size, and if the guest asks for a particular spot, by the window or on the aivan, notes it on the booking. The day before, it sends a short reminder, so nobody forgets and the table isn’t held for nothing.
Understands voice messages
To the agent, a voice message from the car or the market is as good as text: it understands what the guest wants and replies in writing with the date, time and party size, so everything can be read again later.
Takes wedding and banquet requests
Asks about the occasion, the date, the guest count, the budget per person and whether a morning plov is needed. Your manager gets one complete request and can start on the menu straight away, without a long thread.
Answers about the menu
Says what time plov will be ready today and how long it usually lasts, what’s on the menu, what delivery costs and how to find you. It answers only from your details and never makes things up.
Keeps up at the busiest hours
Navruz, a wedding Saturday, the Friday before a weekend: on those days your host is busy with guests while messages keep coming. The agent answers each one, and your host sees every conversation in one inbox.
Kokand: local context
The former capital of the Kokand Khanate, on the south-western edge of the Fergana Valley.
Khudayar Khan’s palace stands in the centre, and the World Crafts Council has named Kokand a World Craft City for woodcarving.
The roads from Tashkent and Khujand into the valley run through Kokand, so there are always travellers in town who need a meal or a room for the night.
Craftsmen’s families live in the old quarters, and orders are still passed on through acquaintances, only now by messenger.
In Kokand people driving into the valley or back to Tashkent over the pass stop for lunch and ask about it first. Meanwhile local families book the hall for weddings and engagements, and the agent answers travellers and families alike, each about their own thing.

Frequently asked questions
Will the agent take a wedding request?
Yes. It asks for the date, the guest count, the budget per person and menu wishes, checks whether a morning plov is needed and hands your manager one finished request. It only says what a banquet costs if banquet prices are in your rules.
Can the agent tell a guest whether there is plov today?
Yes, if the serving time is in your rules, for example “plov from 12:00 until it runs out”. The agent gives that time, offers to book a table and asks for portions to be kept for the guest, if that is something you do.
Does the agent answer in Uzbek?
Yes. The agent picks up the language the guest writes in: Uzbek, Russian or English. You don’t need to load your menu and rules in every language.
What if the day is fully booked?
Then the agent doesn’t overpromise: it says there are no free tables and names the nearest free time. A wedding request for a taken date still goes to your manager, in case you have a second hall or the date frees up.
Where do the bookings go?
Bookings are saved in a CRM: yours if it is connected, or the built-in one. The whole chat with the guest is there too, so your host can take over the conversation at any moment.
Does it work if customers come in from other towns of the valley?
Yes. Many people come to you from other towns of the valley and write ahead. The agent books a table for a convenient day, explains how to find you and sends a reminder the day before.
