AI receptionist for restaurants and cafes in Oskemen
Evening bookings, takeaway orders and questions about free toi dates in Oskemen all land in one WhatsApp. The agent works through them in turn and loses nothing, even with a wedding in full swing in the hall.
Hello! Do you have a private booth free on Friday evening? There are nine of us, it’s a friend’s birthday.

Let’s say 19:00. Can we bring balloons in beforehand and decorate?

Aruzhan.
Booked: Friday, 19:00, booth for 10, under Aruzhan. You can bring the balloons from 18:00, and I’ll send a reminder on Friday afternoon.
When customers write in Oskemen
In winter, with frost and blizzards, people go out less and order delivery more, and in summer they book terraces. All year round the busiest time is the evening after work, when people write about a table and about dinner at home.
Busiest hours: 12:00 to 14:00 and 18:00 to 21:00
Asking the price of the set lunch and whether any tables are free.
Writing that they are running late and asking to hold the table.
After a family council, a message about a toi: date, guests, budget per head.
Answers in Kazakh and Russian
The agent writes in the customer’s language: if someone starts in Kazakh, the answer comes in Kazakh. Here is the same reply in both languages.
If a customer writes in English, the agent answers in English.
Сәлеметсіз бе! Үлкен зал 14 қыркүйекке әзірге бос. Залды көруге жазып қояйын ба?
Здравствуйте! Большой зал на 14 сентября пока свободен. Записать вас на просмотр зала?
What the agent takes off your hands
Books tables and booths
Says at once whether there is a table tonight and where: by the window, in the main hall or in a booth, even if it is the hundredth message of the evening. The booking shows up for your host straight away, so there is no mix-up at the door.
Collects toi and banquet requests
A toi is discussed at length by the whole family, and questions come at all hours. The agent keeps the whole history in one chat, answers by your hall’s terms and gives your manager a short summary: date, guests, menu, budget.
Answers about the menu, delivery and takeaway
Tells guests what is on the menu today and what it costs, whether you deliver to their area, whether the meat is halal and whether there is a children’s menu. It answers only from your data and invents nothing.
Reminds and reschedules
The day before, it confirms the booking with the guest, and if they have changed their mind, it frees the table for others at once. That means fewer empty tables with a reserved sign in the evening.
Brings in your manager when needed
A complaint, a request for a discount or a question your rules don’t answer is never settled by the agent alone. It hands the chat to your manager with its history, and the manager picks up exactly where it left off.
Oskemen: local context
The centre of East Kazakhstan Region, where the Ulba flows into the Irtysh, on the approaches to the Altai.
A city of non-ferrous metallurgy, with zinc, titanium-magnesium and Ulba metallurgical plants.
In summer people head for the holiday bases on the Bukhtarma and up into the Altai, and in spring the dacha season opens in the gardens around town.
The plants run in shifts, so people often write to book during a break or on the way home after a shift.
In May and June in Oskemen the graduation parties begin: school classes and student groups look for a hall for the evening, and parents ask about the menu and the price per head. The agent gathers these requests in full and passes them to your manager without pulling your host away from ordinary bookings.

Frequently asked questions
Can the agent handle toi and banquet requests?
Yes. It asks about the occasion, date, guest count, budget per person and menu wishes, books the family in to see the hall and passes everything to your manager as one request. It never invents a banquet total: it quotes one only if your terms include it.
Does the agent answer in Kazakh?
Yes. Guests write however they like and get the answer in the same language: Kazakh, Russian or English. You upload the menu and rules once, with no need to translate them.
How does the agent handle deposits and minimum spends?
The agent tells the guest about the deposit and minimum spend before booking, so there are no arguments in the evening. Payment details and refunds stay with your staff: the agent passes such questions on together with the chat.
Where do the bookings go?
Wherever you already work: bookings and guest contacts go into your CRM. If you don’t have one, everything is kept in the built-in Solwees CRM, and each guest’s history stays at hand, such as which table they like.
Does it work if we have locations across the region?
Yes. Each location gets its own address, hours and floor. The agent asks where the guests would rather go, in Oskemen or closer to home, and books a table there.
