When customers write in Pavlodar
Most messages arrive between five and nine in the evening: is there room tonight, how late is the kitchen open, can we take food away. In spring and summer questions about free Saturdays for a toi join them, and people ask several halls at once.
Busiest hours: 12:00 to 14:00 and 18:00 to 21:00
Checking whether there is beshbarmak today and asking to keep a portion for takeaway.
After work, booking a booth for tonight and asking about the minimum spend.
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
Asks for the date, time and party size, offers a free table or booth and confirms the booking at once. If a booth has a minimum spend or a deposit, it says so up front, so there are no surprises at the end of the night.
Collects toi and banquet requests
Asks about the occasion, date, guest count, budget per person and whether the family brings its own host, then books them in to see the hall. Your manager gets a request that can be costed straight away.
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
On the day of the booking it reminds the guest of the time. If a guest is running late or wants to move the visit, they write in the same chat, and the agent changes the booking or warns your host.
Brings in your manager when needed
The agent knows where its remit ends: a disputed bill, an unhappy guest, special terms for a regular. It hands such conversations to a member of staff with a note on what they are about and stays out of them from then on.
Pavlodar: local context
The centre of Pavlodar Region on the right bank of the Irtysh; the city grew from the Koryakovsky outpost, set up to guard salt production.
One of the main industrial cities of the north, with a full aluminium production cycle, an oil refinery and a chemical plant.
On summer evenings people stroll along the Irtysh embankment and swim at Usolka, and for holidays they head to the Bayanaul lakes.
In spring the dacha bus and tram routes open, and until autumn many families spend their weekends on the vegetable plot.
In summer in Pavlodar evenings are spent by the Irtysh, and terrace tables near the embankment get booked ahead. In winter people order delivery and book booths instead. The agent answers for both seasons by your rules and confirms the booking at once.

Frequently asked questions
Can the agent handle toi and banquet requests?
Yes. The agent answers the family’s first questions: is the date free, how many seats the hall has, what the minimum spend is, whether they can bring their own host. When the family is ready to discuss the menu, it passes your manager a request with all the answers.
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?
It states the terms you set: the minimum spend in a booth, the deposit, how long a booking is held. The agent does not take money itself: payment and its confirmation stay with your staff.
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 Pavlodar or closer to home, and books a table there.
