AI for restaurantsLima, Ohio & Allen County

An AI front desk for your Lima restaurant.

Your phone line, answered and your reservations handled — so your staff can stay focused on the guests in front of them.

How the work actually goes

During a rush nobody can pick up the phone, and every unanswered ring is a takeout order or a reservation that went somewhere else.

Running a restaurant in Lima means your team is always moving. When the phone rings during a busy Friday night, it can be genuinely hard to get to it — and callers who want a reservation or a quick question answered may not wait long.

Paglow gives your restaurant an AI voice agent on your own line, a clean website your staff can update by voice or click, and automated social posts that keep your regulars in the loop. It is a calm, practical upgrade — not a replacement for your team, just a way to help more of those calls turn into seated guests.

Calls that come in during a dinner rush are easy to miss.

Taking reservations and to-go orders over the phone pulls staff away from guests already in the dining room.

Keeping your website, hours, and specials current takes time that is hard to find mid-service.

Everything we build

Every service, and what it changes for restaurants

Start with one. The ones marked below are where most restaurants see the fastest return — but they all work on the same operation.

Start here

Phone Agent

The rush no longer eats your phone

The agent answers during the dinner rush — hours, reservations, takeout questions, whether you have a gluten-free option — so nobody on the floor has to stop.

  • Callers hear a friendly greeting in your voice, day or night
  • New leads are captured with name, number, and what they need
  • Every call shows up as a transcript you can read later

Website

A menu that loads before they leave

The single most-visited page you have is the menu on a phone. Fast, readable, current, with hours and directions right there.

  • Loads fast and looks right on every phone
  • Edit your own pages by clicking or speaking, no tech skills
  • Stays current because you change it the moment something changes
$500–$1,500 one-timeHow it works

Automated Social Media

Food posts, without a second job

Daily specials and food photography posted consistently keep you in the feed of everyone deciding where to eat tonight.

  • You stay active online without writing a single post yourself
  • Posts sound like you, not like a generic ad
  • A steady schedule keeps you in front of local customers
$400–$800/moHow it works

Custom CRM

Catering, events, and regulars

Private-party inquiries, catering orders, and repeat customers tracked properly instead of on a clipboard by the host stand.

  • Stop losing leads in spreadsheets, sticky notes, and inboxes
  • See every deal and where it stands at a glance
  • Built to match your steps, so your team actually uses it
$2,000 one-time + $1,000/yrHow it works

Second Brain

Menu, allergens, and specials

What's in the sauce, which dishes are gluten-free, what tonight's special is — answered instantly by anyone who needs it.

  • Stop digging through folders and old emails to find one detail
  • Ask in plain words and get an answer in seconds
  • Trust every answer because it shows the document it came from
$3,500 one-timeHow it works

Outbound Caller

Catering leads followed up

Party and catering inquiries go cold fast. The agent calls back quickly and gets the details while they're still deciding.

  • Old leads get followed up instead of quietly going cold
  • Every call opens with what that person actually cared about
  • Common objections get handled instead of ending the call

Cold Email Pipeline

Offices and event planners

Corporate lunch and catering accounts are dependable revenue. We fix your sending setup so the outreach arrives.

  • Deliverability problems get found and fixed, not guessed at
  • Your mailboxes get warmed to full sending capacity
  • Your data flows into your sending tool automatically

The rest of what we build

Catering quotes, private-event booking, inventory — built to match how your kitchen and front of house actually operate.

Frequently asked questions

Will callers know they're talking to an AI?+

You decide how it's introduced. Many owners prefer a straightforward approach — the agent answers in your restaurant's name, handles common questions and reservations, and lets callers know a person will follow up when needed.

Can the phone agent take a reservation or a to-go order?+

Yes. The agent on your line can collect reservation details, party size, time preferences, and contact information, then log it wherever you track bookings. To-go order intake can be configured based on how your kitchen flow works.

How do I update my website when my specials or hours change?+

With the Paglow website, you can make updates by clicking directly on the page or by leaving a quick voice note. No login forms or dashboards required — changes go live without involving a developer.

The phone stops being the thing nobody has time for.

Answer more of your incoming calls, even on your busiest nights.
