For restaurants, AskMyBusiness answers hours, menu, and event questions from published pages, and routes every allergy or food-safety question to staff.
For a restaurant, AskMyBusiness answers hours, menu, and private-event questions straight from the pages the restaurant already publishes, with the source page shown on every answer. Allergy and food-safety questions never get answered by the assistant — those go straight to staff, as a standing rule in how it's built.
Hours, menu items, and private-event questions come from whatever the restaurant has published — a menu page, an events page, an hours listing. The assistant shows the page each answer came from, and if something isn't published anywhere, it says "I don't know" and offers to connect the visitor with someone at the restaurant instead of guessing.
Allergy and food-safety questions are a standing-rule handoff to staff — the assistant doesn't answer them itself. That boundary is a standing rule in how the assistant is built, and every answer is separately checked against the business's published pages before it ships; separately, a deterministic crisis-and-hazard check runs in code before any model sees a message.
A visitor asking about a private event — capacity, availability, a deposit policy — gets an answer from whatever the restaurant has published about that, with the source page shown. When the visitor is ready to talk specifics or book, the assistant captures their name and contact, with permission, and sends it to the owner's inbox, even at midnight.
Install is one line of code on the restaurant's existing site — WordPress, Wix, Squarespace, Webflow, Shopify, Google Tag Manager, or Framer, per the docs — or it can run at its own link with a QR code on a table tent or the front door. No rebuild, no migration. The owner sets which pages it can pull from, and can update the menu or hours from the dashboard, which also shows what people asked and which leads need a follow-up call.
A visitor asks: "Are you open for lunch on Mondays?"
The assistant answers: "We're open for lunch Tuesday through Sunday, closed Mondays." Source: Hours page.
A different visitor asks: "Does your shrimp pasta have peanuts in it?"
The assistant answers: "I can't speak to allergens — let me connect you with our staff before you order. Ask for someone at the host stand, or leave your number and I'll send it straight to the team."
No. Allergy and food-safety questions go to staff every time — that's a standing rule, not a judgment call the assistant makes.
It answers questions from what's published and hands the visitor to a person when they want to book — the owner's booking process handles the reservation itself.
Only if the restaurant has published them somewhere the assistant can read. Anything not published gets "I don't know" and an offer to connect with staff. Try the free private preview — built in under 24 hours, no card — at askmy.business.
