Slow replies
The manager is running service. A valuable enquiry waits hours, sometimes days.
AI-native sales for restaurants
An AI sales manager for every group booking.
TableLead reads your enquiries, replies in minutes, builds the proposal, chases the follow up and brings back a confirmed deposit. You approve. It does the work.
Enquiries arrive from everywhere. The AI meets them where they land.
The problem
The demand is already there. The handling is what loses the booking.
Restaurants get asked for big tables, office dinners, birthdays and catering every week. Then the process turns manual, and the customer books whoever replied first with a clear proposal.
Hi! Can you host 25 people next Friday? We need a set menu, vegetarian options, drinks, and a private area.

Hello? Still checking a few venues today.
Quotes rebuilt every time
Menus, minimum spends, service charges and deposit terms get copied into a fresh message again and again.
No follow up
A quote goes out and everyone waits. Nothing reminds the team that the customer went quiet.
Details scattered
Guest count, dietary needs and the final menu live across WhatsApp, email and a spreadsheet. Then it is event day.
Why AI-native
Not software with an AI button. An AI that does the job, with software built around it.
Most restaurant tools give you forms and dashboards, then ask your busiest person to use them. TableLead starts from the other end. The AI is the sales manager. The software is how you supervise it.
The usual softwareTableLead
An enquiry arrivesStaff retype it into a form.The AI reads the WhatsApp, email or DM and fills in the date, guests, budget and dietary needs itself.
The proposalPick a template and edit it by hand.The AI builds it from your menus, pricing rules and past winning proposals.
The replySomeone remembers to answer.The AI drafts a reply in your voice within minutes, day or night.
Follow upA reminder you can ignore.The AI follows up at the right moment and handles the "can we swap the menu?" back and forth.
Your morningA dashboard to study.A short list: "Do these four things today. Worth $12,400."
You decide how much the AI is trusted.
Each kind of action climbs its own ladder. The AI earns more freedom as it proves itself on your venue.
- Level 1
Suggests
The AI drafts everything. You send it yourself.
- Level 2
Asks to approve
The AI prepares the reply or proposal. You tap approve.
- Level 3
Acts on its own
For things you have cleared, inside your rules on price, dates and discounts.
- It learns your venue. Menus, minimum spends, room capacity, tone of voice and what won past deals become its working memory.
- It gets better with every enquiry. Won and lost bookings teach it what to offer, when to follow up and where deals stall.
- Every action is on the record. You can see what it read, what it sent and why, and take over any conversation in one tap.
Phase 1 · What we're building first
The AI group sales desk for one workflow done properly.
We start narrow on purpose. No POS, no inventory, no everything-app. Phase 1 owns one job: turning a group or event enquiry into a confirmed, paid booking.
- 1
Read
The AI reads each enquiry from WhatsApp, email, Instagram or your enquiry page and turns it into a structured lead.
- 2
Reply
It drafts a fast, on-brand answer, asks the missing questions and checks your calendar before promising a date.
- 3
Propose
It picks the right package, fits it to the budget and dietary needs, and builds a branded web proposal for you to approve.
- 4
Chase
It watches who opened the proposal and who went quiet, then sends the nudge at the moment it works.
- 5
Close
The customer accepts online, the deposit is tracked and the booking flips to confirmed.
- 6
Brief
One clean event sheet goes to the kitchen and floor team, built from the final agreed details.

Our mission
Give every restaurant an AI sales team that wins the group bookings it is already being asked for.
Fewer lost enquiries, faster proposals and far less admin for the people who would rather be on the floor.
Our vision
Restaurants whose revenue runs itself. Enquiries answered, events sold and quiet nights filled, with people free to do hospitality.
The default place where restaurant sales happen, whether the buyer is a person or their own AI assistant.
- Narrow first, then wide. One workflow done properly earns the right to run the rest.
- You stay in control. The AI proposes and acts inside the limits you set.
- Built around revenue. Every feature has to put a confirmed booking closer.
Roadmap
Three phases. From an AI that handles the enquiry to an AI that runs the business.
The AI handles every enquiry.
AI group sales desk
- Reads enquiries from WhatsApp, email, Instagram and forms
- Drafts replies in your voice, in minutes
- Builds proposals from your menus and pricing rules
- Follows up, handles changes, tracks deposits
- Writes the daily brief and the event sheet
- Trust ladder: suggest, approve, act alone
The AI goes and finds the revenue.
AI revenue engine
- Wakes up past guests and companies before their next office party
- Spots empty rooms and dates, then pitches the right package to fill them
- Margin aware pricing and discounts, inside your guardrails
- Voice agent that answers calls and books straight into the pipeline
- Negotiates changes within your limits
- Forecasts bookings and revenue, and prepares kitchen and staffing plans
- Multi venue groups with shared learning
The AI runs it. Other AIs book it.
Autonomous event business
- Bookable by AI assistants: a company's agent asks for dinner for 45 and your venue's agent answers with a live proposal
- Runs the whole event cycle on its own, from first message to post event feedback
- Sets prices live from demand, season and capacity
- Plans events end to end: menu, staffing, ordering and timeline
- Open to hotels, caterers, wedding venues and event spaces
- You manage by exception. The AI brings only what needs a human
Dates will follow. Early access members get first say on what we build next.
Who it's for
Venues that sell tables by the dozen.
Built first for independent restaurants with roughly 30 to 150 seats, where group dining, corporate meals, private events or catering already bring in serious revenue. If your enquiries run on WhatsApp, email, a spreadsheet and memory, this is for you.
- Independent restaurants
- Hotel restaurants
- Bars with private rooms
- Rooftop venues
- Event venues
- Catering companies
