Why Lahore restaurants adopt AI now
Peak hours mean missed calls and slow WhatsApp replies. AI assistants handle menu questions, branch timings, and order status in Urdu/English - then hand off to staff for payment confirmation.
Ainexo builds restaurant bots with official APIs - no fake dashboards. See AI Chatbot, WhatsApp bot guide, and our restaurant website sample.
