An AI teammate for your restaurant
One employee.
Every job you can't get to.
A customer service, analytics, and marketing team runs $150k–$250k+/year. Ding does that work as one AI teammate — for the price of a subscription.
The first month
Hire Ding on Monday. By month one, better than the day it started.
Five moments from employing Ding — the hire, the audit, the schedule, the work that happens while you're not looking, and the part where it compounds.
You hire Ding.
No job post, no interviews, no month of onboarding before anything ships. Ding starts the day you sign, with the keys to the systems you already run.
Ding audits the whole place.
Before doing a single job, Ding finds out where you actually stand. Twelve areas of the business, scored honestly, with the money you're leaving on the table named out loud — and the first goal Ding will work toward.
You set Ding's schedule.
Ding is an employee, not a chat box you have to remember to poke. Put the work on the calendar — briefing at 7, specials on Thursday, the audit on the 1st — and decide which jobs run on their own and which ones wait for your yes.
Ding works without you.
The routine comes due and the work happens — while you're on the floor, or asleep, or off. Anything you asked to approve waits for you. Everything else ships, and each one leaves a receipt showing what it was worth.
Ding gets better at the job.
Your score moves. Forecasts converge on what actually happened. The campaigns that worked become plays Ding reruns without being asked. A tool is the same tool in a year — an employee compounds.
And the work itself
Explore the four areas Ding works in.
One employee. One memory. Not four tools with four logins.
Operations, marketing, customer relations, and auditing. Every area below is the same teammate, carrying everything it learned in the others.
Operations
Your analytics hire — without the salary. Forecasts your restaurant's demand, helps you plan capacity accordingly, surfaces what drives margin, and answers operations questions on demand so you decide faster.
~9 hrs/wk
Typical time spent compiling KPI reports by hand

To get demand, capacity, and margin answers on demand

8–15 hrs/wk
Staff time often spent on routine guest questions
24/7
Menu answers + review sentiment without adding headcount
