Reply to every guest message, even during service
Guests message to book a table, ask about the menu or check your hours, often while your team is busiest. Spaces connects the account guests already write to, so an AI agent can read and reply in the same conversation.
Do you have a table for four at 8 tonight?
Is there a vegan option on the menu?
Spaces lets restaurants give an AI agent the messaging account their customers already write to. The agent reads each new message, replies in the same chat with the information you give it, and hands anything unusual to a person. Customers start the conversation. Plans from $19 a month.

What do customers ask restaurants?
For example, a guest might ask:
- Maya R.Do you have a table for four at 8 tonight?
- Tom B.Is there a vegan option on the menu?
- Priya S.Are you open on public holidays?
- Daniel K.Can I pick up a takeaway order at 7?

From your customer to your agent, and back.
How does an AI agent fit restaurants?
Restaurant messages tend to arrive in bursts around service. An agent can answer common questions and take booking requests in the chat. If your booking system is connected to your agent, it can confirm bookings there. Anything sensitive, such as allergies, can be handed to staff.
What can the AI agent do?
With Spaces, your AI agent can see new chats as they arrive (by webhook or by checking unread chats), read the conversation, and reply in the same chat. It can look up a sender's profile and download attachments such as photos the customer sent. You decide what the agent knows and when it hands over to a person. That logic lives in your agent, not in Spaces. Spaces paces every send for each account and makes every send safe to retry.
Who can the agent message?
Spaces is for conversations your customers start, and for people who already know you and expect to hear from you. Spaces' Terms rule out bulk unsolicited messages, bought or scraped contact lists, and cold outreach at scale. If someone asks you to stop, stop messaging them. Your agent should honour that straight away. Keep a record of who has opted in to hear from you, and of anyone who has opted out. Follow each platform's rules and the laws where you and your customers are.

Questions, answered.
01Can the agent take bookings?
It can collect booking details in the chat. Confirming a booking needs your agent to be connected to your booking system. Spaces handles the messaging.
02Can the agent handle allergy questions?
We recommend that your agent hands allergy and dietary-safety questions to a member of staff, rather than answering them itself.
03What is an AI agent for restaurants?
An AI agent for restaurants is software, such as Claude, Grok or your own code, that reads the messages customers send your business and replies in the same chat. Spaces gives that agent an API key and an MCP server for the messaging account your customers already use, so it can answer routine questions and hand the rest to your team.
04How do restaurants set up an AI agent to answer customer messages?
Sign up for Spaces with your email, add a card at checkout, connect the account your customers already message, then give your AI agent the API key or the MCP server. Your agent can do these steps for you. Most setups take a few minutes.
05Is it safe to let an AI agent reply to customers of restaurants?
You stay in control. Spaces enforces per-account limits and pacing for every key, makes every send safe to retry, and lets you pause or revoke a key at any time. You decide in your agent which questions it answers and when it hands over to a person, and a read-only key lets it read without sending.
06Can I use Spaces to send promotions to my whole customer list?
No. Spaces is for conversations with people who know you and expect to hear from you. Its Terms rule out bulk unsolicited messages and cold outreach.
07Will the agent reply without me checking?
That depends on how you set up your agent. Spaces gives the agent the ability to read and reply. Approval steps and hand-offs are configured in your agent. For read-only use, give it a read-only key.
