AI Front Desk for Catering Companies

AskMyBusiness answers per-person pricing, dietary accommodation, and minimum-guest questions from your site 24/7, and sends allergy-severity calls to your staff.

Direct answer

AskMyBusiness puts an AI front desk on a catering company's own website. It answers per-person pricing, whether the company can accommodate allergies and dietary restrictions, and minimum guest count, using only the company's own published content. If a question turns into a judgment call about how severe an allergy is, it hands that off to staff instead of assessing the risk itself.

What it answers

• Per-person pricing and what's included at each tier, from the Pricing or Packages page.
• Whether the company handles specific dietary restrictions — vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, kosher, and similar — and how substitutions work, from the Menu or Policies page.
• Minimum guest count for a booking, and any minimums that change by season or event type.
• Booking lead time, deposit requirements, and cancellation policy.

What it hands off

AskMyBusiness does not give medical advice about how severe a food allergy is or whether a specific accommodation is medically safe for a guest. If someone asks the assistant to judge an allergy's severity or make a call about cross-contact risk, it declines and sends the question to staff. A deterministic crisis check runs in code before any model sees a message, and separate guardrails tuned to the field mean allergy and medical questions route to a person rather than getting answered by the model.

Whenever a visitor wants to talk to someone, request a quote, or raises something that needs a person's judgment, the assistant collects their name and contact information — with their permission — and sends it to the company's inbox right away, including overnight.

How it works

Installation is one line of code, on WordPress, Wix, Squarespace, Webflow, Shopify, Framer, or through Google Tag Manager — whatever the company's site already runs on. No rebuild, no migration. A caterer without a website can run the assistant at its own link with a QR code.

The owner sets what the assistant answers and where it hands off, and can correct or retract published content from a dashboard. That dashboard shows whether the assistant is live, what people have asked, and which leads still need a follow-up.

Pricing is $99 a month, flat, for one business and one website — month to month, cancel anytime, no per-conversation meter, no tiers.

What it looks like in practice

Visitor: "My daughter has a severe peanut allergy. Can your kitchen guarantee it's safe for her?"

Assistant: "That's not something I can judge — allergy severity and safety need a direct answer from our kitchen staff, not a guess from me. I can't judge that myself — can I get your name and a phone or email so our kitchen staff can call you and talk it through? Our general dietary accommodations are listed on the Menu page if you want a starting point."
