Chatbot for Bars & Restaurants
Keep every table full
Mika answers questions about your menu, hours, happy hour specials, and private dining options. Visitors can ask about reservations, and Mika captures their info so your team can follow up.
The Problem
Sound familiar? These are the leads you are losing right now.
Your phone rings during the dinner rush and nobody can pick up. By the time you call back, the group of eight already booked your competitor down the street.
Your website has a reservation widget, but visitors with questions about the menu, dress code, or private dining have no way to ask without calling.
Event inquiries come in through email, DMs, phone calls, and your contact form. Details get lost, follow-ups slip, and you miss high-value bookings.
“Your best reservation requests come in after you close for the night. Birthdays, anniversaries, work dinners — they all get planned after hours when no one is there to answer.”

Before Mika vs. After Mika
Real scenarios that happen every day on your website.
Without Mika
A group is planning a birthday dinner and visits your site at 11pm. No one is available to answer their questions about private rooms. They book somewhere else.
With Mika
Mika answers their private dining questions, collects party size, date, budget, and dietary needs, and sends you a complete inquiry before you open in the morning.
Without Mika
A visitor with celiac disease browses your menu page but cannot tell which items are gluten-free. They decide it is not worth the risk and go elsewhere.
With Mika
Mika walks them through your gluten-free options, reassures them about your kitchen practices, and captures their reservation for Friday night.
Without Mika
You post about your new seasonal cocktail menu on Instagram, but visitors arriving from Google have no idea about it.
With Mika
Mika proactively mentions your seasonal menu when visitors ask about drinks, driving excitement and foot traffic from organic search visitors too.
