Your menu agent

Answer menu and dietary questions instantly

AI replies about allergens, vegan options and hours, then hands the guest to you to book.

Guests deciding where to eat ask the same questions again and again — is there a vegan option, are you gluten-free friendly, are you open tonight — and a slow reply sends them to the next restaurant. This workflow lets an AI agent answer accurately from the menu, allergens and hours you have described, then point the guest to you to book, so a question becomes a guest at the door instead of a lost table.

An illustration of the moment this agent is built for.

Can AI answer allergen questions about my menu?

It answers from the allergen notes you have written, not from the kitchen. The agent can say which dishes suit which diets based on what you have described, and sends anything it cannot confirm to your team rather than guessing.

Your customers are already asking AI

These are the kinds of prompts people now type into an AI assistant — the demand this workflow is built to serve.

  • “find a restaurant with vegan options near me”

  • “which restaurants near me are gluten-free friendly”

  • “is there a place nearby with a kids menu”

  • “find a restaurant that caters to nut allergies”

So how does a customer's AI find this at all?

These questions only turn into covers if guests find you first. Make your menu and this dietary assistant available to AI, so when a diner asks their assistant for a place with the options they need, AI can point them to you and answer on the spot.

An allergen note is only useful if it is yours: which dishes can be made without dairy and which genuinely cannot, what your kitchen will substitute, what it will not risk, and the questions you would rather a guest asked before they arrived than after.

Fugentic publishes what you describe as an MCP server — the thing that lets an AI assistant ask your business a question and get a real answer back — and registers it, so an agent finder, the index an assistant checks to see what is available, can pick it up.

    Anything the notes do not coverreaches you

Fugentic publishes and registers the middle. You supply what your agent knows, and what it collects lands wherever you already work.

A group where one person cannot eat gluten asks their assistant for somewhere that works, and gets your actual options instead of a review from two years ago. That question decides where four people eat, and it is asked before anyone opens a website.

What AI can and cannot do here today

What AI can do today

  • It can say which dishes suit which diets, from the allergen notes you have written.
  • It can answer the questions that decide a booking — vegan options, kids menu, opening hours.
  • It can point the guest to you to reserve while they are still choosing.

What it cannot do yet

  • It cannot speak for the kitchen tonight. A substitution or a cross-contamination question goes to your team, not to a guess.
  • It cannot read a menu you have not described. Change a dish and the notes need changing too — nothing is pulled from a live menu.
Based on what the platform hosts today: an agent that answers from what you have described, and hands the rest to you.

How the AI menu inquiry workflow works

  1. 1

    Guest asks a question

    A diner messages by WhatsApp, SMS, or chat about the menu, allergens, or hours.

  2. 2

    AI answers from your menu

    The agent works from the menu, allergen notes and opening hours you have described to find the right answer.

  3. 3

    Accurate answer sent

    The guest gets a clear, correct reply about options that suit them.

  4. 4

    Handed over to book

    The agent points the guest to you to reserve a table while they are still deciding.

Will AI one day quote, book and sell for you?

Not yet — and not for a while. Everything below needs server types we hope to build, and an AI ecosystem that is still forming. It is where this is going, not what you sign up for today.

  1. 1

    Quoting against live data

    Not available today

    One day your menu agent could answer from tonight's kitchen — the special that just went on, the dish that sold out at seven — rather than from notes written last month.

  2. 2

    Taking the booking

    Not available today

    It could take the booking in the same breath as answering, so a guest who has just been reassured does not have to go and find your phone number.

  3. 3

    Selling and closing

    Not available today

    Further out, a table could be reserved and a deposit taken inside the conversation where the allergy question was answered.

Where this agent fits

Few businesses need only one agent. Different moments of the same customer journey want different help — and every one of them is made available to AI the same way.

Frequently asked questions

You keep the description current. Change the menu in the planner and the agent answers from the new version — no code, and nobody else to wait for.

For anything it can't confirm safely, the agent hands off to your team rather than guessing.

Yes — the agent can answer wherever guests reach out, from WhatsApp to text.

Only from what you have written. The alternative is an assistant inferring your allergens from reviews, which is exactly what you do not want — a guest with a real allergy acting on a stranger's recollection of what your kitchen did once.
