Which hospitality businesses can use WantBook.ai?

Restaurants, private dining rooms, catering companies, bars, pubs, wineries, tasting rooms, cafés, chef's tables, food trucks, and event venues.

Can I show different menus or experiences with photos and prices?

Yes. You can publish each experience—such as a tasting menu, weekend brunch, or private dining room—with photos, pricing, party size, and what's included.

Can I collect dietary restrictions and special occasions?

Yes. The booking form can ask for allergies, dietary preferences, and special occasions so your kitchen and host team are prepared.

Does WantBook.ai take a commission on reservations?

No. The monthly plan covers AI-ready discovery and direct booking. WantBook.ai charges 5% only on payments it processes for you, such as deposits.

Can I keep control of availability?

Yes. You manage your reservation calendar, seating areas, party-size limits, notice periods, and whether bookings are instant or need manual approval.

Can I collect a deposit for tasting menus or private events?

Yes, when payment collection is enabled. You can require a deposit for high-value tables, tasting menus, or private dining rooms to reduce no-shows.

Does this replace my reservation platform?

No. It adds a direct, commission-free route from AI-powered discovery. You can keep any other channels you already use.

Will my restaurant always appear in ChatGPT?

No. ChatGPT and other third-party AI platforms control their own sources, results, rankings, and presentation. WantBook.ai helps make your restaurant information structured, current, and ready for compatible AI-powered discovery.

Do I need a developer?

No. WantBook.ai provides a guided, managed setup designed to avoid a custom development project.

Chef's tasting menu
An AI assistant showed the tasting menu, patio availability, and the price per person. We booked in seconds and the kitchen handled my allergy perfectly.

Private dining room
The room capacity, set-menu price, and AV setup were all clear before we requested the event. Made planning the dinner much easier.

Create My Restaurant Profile

The customer journey

How a diner can discover and book your restaurant.

A diner begins by describing the experience they want in natural language. If your restaurant is relevant and available through information the AI experience can access, it may be presented as an option.

Diner asks

“Find a romantic restaurant in San Diego with a patio table for two on Friday night.”

The diner describes the occasion, cuisine, party size, and timing in natural language.

Need: Dinner reservation
Party: 2 people
Location: San Diego
Timing: Friday 19:30

WantBook.ai helps provide structured business information and a route to inquiry or booking. Third-party AI platforms control their own search, selection, ranking, and responses.

Expected results

From AI visibility to booked tables.

Visibility

Present accurate, restaurant-managed information.

Keep menus, seating options, availability, and policies organized in one AI-ready profile.

Reservation quality

Receive better-prepared reservation requests.

Collect party size, seating preference, dietary needs, and occasion before you confirm.

Table utilization

Fill quiet shifts and last-minute cancellations.

Turn relevant dining searches into reservations booked with your restaurant instead of the next one on the list.

Lower cost

Avoid platform fees and custom integrations.

Use a managed setup instead of building AI discovery, reservation, and payment infrastructure yourself.

Fewer no-shows

Protect high-value tables and tasting menus.

Collect a deposit or card on file and confirm the party size before you hold the table.

Control

Decide what guests can request and book.

Control menus shown, seating areas, party sizes, availability, and booking rules.

Why direct AI integration wins

From scattered search traffic to structured reservations.

See how a standard search result or reservation-platform listing compares with a direct booking that reaches you through AI-powered discovery.
