DocsHound for Restaurant
Your way into AI

The simple way to bring your business into the AI era.

Everyone says you need AI in your business. Nobody tells you how without hiring an engineer, wiring up ten tools, or disappearing down a rabbit hole for six months. DocsHound is the simple way in: you describe what you want in plain English, and it becomes the AI employee that handles it, so you get the upside of AI without the madness.

  • No engineers to hire. If you can describe the job, you can set it up.
  • No AI rabbit holes. One friendly tool, not a stack you have to learn.
  • Up and running in an afternoon. Not a six-month project.
Meet your hounds

What your hounds can do for you

Most restaurants start with one of these three.

A hound running a process and sending an email

Automate a process

Handle the same booking and ordering steps that eat up your shift, without pulling a server off the floor.

  • Reservation requests — take the date, party size, and phone number and drop them into your book
  • Takeout orders — capture the order, read it back, and quote a pickup time
  • Waitlist texts — tell callers the current wait and add them to the list
  • Large party and catering leads — collect headcount, date, and menu interest, then pass it to you
  • Cancellations and changes — update the booking and free the table

Fewer missed bookings and a front-of-house that is not glued to the phone.

A hound answering a customer

Serve your customers

Answer the questions diners ask over and over, day or night, in your voice.

  • Hours, address, parking, and whether you take walk-ins
  • Full menu, prices, and today's specials
  • Allergen and dietary questions like gluten-free, nut-free, and vegan options
  • Whether you have high chairs, outdoor seating, or private rooms
  • Gift card purchases and how to redeem them

Guests get a straight answer in seconds, even after you close for the night.

A hound handing a teammate an answer

Support your team

Give your servers, hosts, and new hires one place to check instead of asking the manager.

  • Daily 86 list and which items are out
  • Opening and closing checklists for each station
  • Wine, beer, and cocktail descriptions for upselling
  • Dress code, tip-out, and shift-swap rules
  • How to ring in modifiers, voids, and comps in the POS

Staff find the answer themselves, so managers stop fielding the same questions every shift.

What do you do?

What DocsHound can automate for your business

Based on your business, here is what we would set up first. Each one gathers what you need and takes the next step for you. Create them now or tweak later.

You are all set.

We are putting your Hounds together. Check your inbox for a link to start adding what your business knows.

See it in action

Simple to set up. Here is what you get.

No project, no jargon. Describe what you want in plain words and your business starts getting this back:

Anyone can set one up

No IT person, no setup project, no training. If you can describe the job, you can build the hound.

Save hours every week

The asking, collecting, and replying you do by hand all day runs itself, so you win the time back.

Open while you sleep

Customers get answered and jobs get booked at 2am, not just nine to five.

One business, a pack of hounds.

You do not run your whole business out of one inbox, so your AI should not either. A Hound handles one job, whether that is a process, a client, or one part of your world, and does it the same way every time.

Put one hound on staff questions, one on each property you manage, one on quotes for the field crew, one per client. Each stays in its lane, so the work stays clean and nothing gets crossed.

For your staff
Answers HR, PTO, and policy questions so the office does not have to.
One per property
Takes maintenance requests and resident questions, and routes them.
One per client
Runs their intake and onboarding, their way, every time.
For the field crew
Answers manual and SOP questions from a phone on the job.

Take one for a walk.

What this hound handles
a small business
Ask the Hound
Ask me a question, or say you need a quote or a callback and watch me take the details and hand them off.

Start by using it yourself. Share it when you are ready.

Use it yourself

Keep it private and get your own answers first. Nobody else has to know it exists yet.

Give it to your team

Invite employees so the person who used to get asked everything stops being the bottleneck.

Put it on your website

Let customers ask the same questions your staff already answers twenty times a day.

Connect it to your tools

When integrations land, your hound can push what it collects into the software you already use.

What would you put in yours?

Not sure what goes in first? Here is what three very different people would start with.

Joe the Plumber

Joe the Plumber

Quote intake, plus warranty and pricing answers, so every tech in a truck gets a straight answer without calling the office.

Bob the Bookkeeper

Bob the Bookkeeper

One per client, handling new-client intake and answering “how does this one close their books?” before he even opens the file.

Any small business

Any small business

The stuff that always lives in one person’s head, so the whole team can get an answer on day one instead of waiting for the person who knows.
