RESTAURANT CUSTOMER SERVICE · Workflow idea

Make it easier to answer diners while keeping bookings and dietary details accurate.

For customers who choose to contact the restaurant through an approved channel, prepare answers about verified hours, location, services, and menu details, and collect the minimum information needed for a reservation request. Confirm actual availability before promising a table, protect names and contact details, and treat allergies and dietary questions as safety-sensitive. Make it clear when a person needs to take over, and require staff confirmation for bookings, changes, and uncertain claims.
