Restaurant groups
Supplier invoices, guest reviews, closing reports and maintenance across every venue.
afka uses analytics cookies to see how visitors use the site, and a service that can identify the company a visitor works for. We do not sell your data. Decline and none of it loads.
For restaurant groups, cafés, hotels and bars with more than one door. Chefs, managers and floor staff tell afka what happened, by voice or with a photo, in their own language. afka files it on the venue, gets the right person moving and answers your guests.
The same afka runs the office of a restaurant group, a café chain, a hotel and a bar or events business. It learns your venues, suppliers, people and guests, and works in the tools you already have.
Supplier invoices, guest reviews, closing reports and maintenance across every venue.
Stock and orders, opening checklists, rota cover and the same answers for every site.
Guest messages, room issues, housekeeping handovers and the restaurant and bar beside them.
Event briefs, supplier orders, staff for each night and the follow‑up after every booking.
Every delivery note, review, rota change and closing call that a manager only passes on costs minutes they owe the floor. Here is what that is worth for a typical group, and for a single venue or a larger one.
About 30 hours and $1,000 back every month.
About 90 hours and $3,010 back every month.
About 240 hours and $8,020 back every month.
An estimate, not a promise: a working month of 26 days, a full‑time month of 160 hours, and the time a person spends today on work afka can take over. The hourly cost is the US median pay of a food service manager (BLS, 2025), before benefits. Once afka is running, your weekly report shows the hours it actually saved.
Each one arrives as a delivery note, a review, a message after close or a call from the kitchen, which is exactly where afka works.
A chef sends a photo of the delivery note. afka matches it to the order and the invoice, asks the supplier for the credit and puts the shortfall on the next order.
afka drafts a reply for each review in your manager's voice, answers booking questions, and tells the kitchen when the same complaint keeps coming back.
Each manager says how the night went on the way out. afka files it on the venue and sends the owner one report for the whole group, with what needs a decision at the top.
A broken fridge, a leaking dishwasher or a failed check is reported in a sentence. afka keeps the log, requests the engineer under your contract and anything that spends money waits for a person.
One or two people in the office connect the tools once. After that every chef, manager and server installs Talk from the QR code on the staff noticeboard and speaks to afka in their own language: report a delivery, send a photo, flag a problem, ask what is booked tonight.
Priced per workspace with unlimited seats, so every member of staff in every venue can use Talk without a licence of their own.
What a group of three venues looks like when afka does the repetitive part.
Delivery notes come in as photos and are matched to orders and invoices before the first prep list.
Guest messages and booking questions are answered while the team is on the floor.
Each venue hears tonight's bookings, large tables, sold‑out dishes and who is covering which section.
Managers say how the night went. The owner reads one report for the group before bed.
No new software for the team and no project for the office. Connect what you already use, put a code on every staff noticeboard, and read the first closing report the same night.
Your inbox, your chat and the tools you already pay for, in a few clicks. afka reads what is there and learns your venues, suppliers and people.
Each member of staff scans it once with the phone camera, joins your company and starts talking. New starters on Friday are on Talk by Friday night.
Which venues are closed, which reviews have a reply ready and what waits for your approval, in one message after the last door shuts.
The same Talk app as on our home page, on every member of staff's own phone. They speak, afka answers out loud, and the work lands where the office sees it.
The office works with afka where it already works: email, Microsoft Teams, Slack or Google Chat, and the dashboard. Your tools connect in a few clicks.
Plus your POS, reservations and inventory software through managed connectors. If what you use is not there, afka writes the connection itself.
Each member of staff gets their own afka account under your company, at no extra cost because seats are unlimited. The office invites them or pins the join code to the staff noticeboard; they scan it with the phone camera, sign in and Talk installs on the home screen. Give each person a short walkthrough on their first shift: how to start a call, send a photo and ask what is booked tonight.
No. New starters join with the same code, and when someone leaves the office removes them in one click. What they reported stays on the venue's record.
No, and it matters. afka knows who is speaking, so each person needs their own account: their reports, their venue and their language stay theirs, and nobody can act with the owner's permissions. Talk works on a work phone or on their own.
It drafts every reply in your manager's voice. You choose which kinds it may send by itself; anything that offers a refund, a voucher or money waits for a person.
No. Each person talks to afka in their own language, in as many languages as the models handle, and managers read everything in theirs.
A plan per workspace with unlimited seats, plus credits for the work it does. Every chef, manager and server can use Talk.
