WaiterPilot

Let guests order in their own words. Keep your staff in control.

WaiterPilot is an AI waiter for restaurants. Guests scan the QR code on their table, ask about your menu and order by chat in their own language. The order lands on your staff board, and your team takes it from there.

  • No app for guests
  • 0% commission
  • 30 days free, then $200 per location a month

The offer, written like a menu

One price per location. Nothing taken from your orders.

No tax is added to the price.

From the table to the kitchen

Every order follows the same five steps, and a person on your team confirms the first order at each table.

  1. Scan

    The guest scans the QR code on the table. Your menu opens in the phone's browser. No app, no sign-up.

  2. Ask and choose

    They ask questions in their own words and get answers from your menu. WaiterPilot asks about the choices a dish needs, like the side or how it's cooked.

  3. Confirm

    The guest checks the order card and taps Confirm. Nothing reaches your team before that.

  4. Staff confirm

    The ticket appears on your board as Awaiting staff. Your team confirms it and it moves to In kitchen. Later orders from that table can go straight to the kitchen.

  5. Served

    Staff mark the dish Served when it reaches the table. The guest sees each step on their phone.

What guests do, and what your team sees

On the guest's phone

  • Ask what's spicy, vegetarian or served with a dish, and get an answer from your menu
  • Order in their own words, in their own language
  • Call a waiter or ask for the check without waving
  • See the bill grow through the evening, with tax and any service charge or gratuity you set, and split it evenly or by phone

On your team's screens

  • A main board with every ticket by status
  • A kitchen screen with quantities, dishes, options and notes, without prices
  • A floor screen for waiter calls and check requests
  • Mark a dish sold out from your phone and WaiterPilot stops offering it right away
  • As the owner, see busy hours, top dishes and what guests asked for that isn't on your menu

One question, in the guest's language

Guests write in their own language and WaiterPilot answers in it. Your team still sees each dish by its menu name.

We have tested the chat in English, Arabic (several dialects) and Spanish, and it answers most other languages too. Arabic replies can use your own dialect, such as Jordanian, Egyptian or Gulf. The buttons on the guest screen are in English or Arabic, and notes such as "no onions" go on the ticket as the request was taken, not translated.

What WaiterPilot doesn't do

Knowing the limits up front saves you a bad surprise on a busy night.

It doesn't connect to your POS or printer

Orders appear on the WaiterPilot board and kitchen screen. Your team rings the sale up in your own till.

It doesn't take payment

Guests see the bill and can split it, then pay the way they pay today.

It doesn't decide on allergies

It answers from the menu information you give it. Your staff have the final say on every allergy question.

It doesn't replace your printed menu or your servers

It works alongside your printed menu and frees servers from taking orders, so they can look after guests.

When another system is the better choice

Questions owners ask first

What is an AI waiter?

Software that takes table orders by chat. Guests ask about the menu and order on their own phone; your staff still make and serve the food.

Do guests need to download an app?

No. They scan the QR code on the table and the menu opens in their phone's browser. There is no account and no sign-up.

How much does it cost?

Setup is free and the first 30 days are free. After that it is $200 per location per month, with no contract and 0% commission on your orders. No tax is added.

Does it work with my POS?

It works alongside it, not inside it. WaiterPilot has no POS or printer connection, so your team enters the sale in your till as they do today.

Which languages can guests use?

Guests chat in their own language. We have tested English, Arabic (several dialects) and Spanish, and it answers most other languages too. The guest screen's buttons are in English or Arabic, and dish names show as written on your menu.

How long does setup take?

Most restaurants are live within two weeks of the first call. Send us your menu as a PDF or photos; we load it, you check it before going live, and we print your QR cards and train your staff. There is no hardware to buy.
