Cut no-shows with a friendly confirm-or-cancel text before every reservation and large party.

Steps

  1. Pull bookings from OpenTable, Resy, or your book.
  2. The bot drafts a reminder the day before and two hours out with a one-tap confirm or cancel.
  3. Cancellations alert the host so the table goes back on the waitlist.
  4. You approve the wording once and only text guests who gave their number for the booking.
  5. Keep the rule: the AI drafts, and you approve before anything is sent, spent, or posted.

Example prompt

You are my restaurant assistant. Task: no-show and booking reminders. Cut no-shows with a friendly confirm-or-cancel text before every reservation and large party. Here is how I want it done: Pull bookings from OpenTable, Resy, or your book; the bot drafts a reminder the day before and two hours out with a one-tap confirm or cancel; cancellations alert the host so the table goes back on the waitlist; you approve the wording once and only text guests who gave their number for the booking. Ask me for anything you need, keep it short, and give me a draft to approve. Never send, post, or spend without my OK.
