TableAI

TableAI is a WhatsApp-based restaurant management assistant for independent food businesses. It is aimed at small cafés, food trucks, quick-service restaurants, and independent full-service restaurants that do not want to install another app or monitor a dashboard. Owners and managers connect their restaurant's WhatsApp number and then send natural-language messages about daily sales, inventory levels, and staff attendance. TableAI interprets these messages, records them, and sends a morning briefing at 7am with the previous day's sales, items below stock thresholds, and staffing patterns. TableAI combines functions that are often handled by separate tools: daily sales logging and comparison, low-inventory alerts, and staff attendance tracking. Instead of navigating multiple systems, a manager can message things like "Sold $4,200 today" or note that an employee was late, and TableAI logs the event. The service is designed for operators who need quick answers and pattern awareness, such as whether sales are up from yesterday or whether a team member has been late repeatedly over the month. The product is currently in early access and is being offered free to the first 100 restaurants. After launch, the planned pricing is $29 to $49 per month, with early users receiving a first-year discount. TableAI positions itself as a more affordable alternative to paying for separate POS reporting, scheduling software, and spreadsheets. The website highlights direct founder support during onboarding and offers a demo and early access request flow.

Problem solved

Independent restaurants often rely on disconnected systems or manual notes to track sales, inventory, and attendance, leaving gaps between tools and no quick way to answer operational questions. TableAI solves this by creating a single WhatsApp interface that records key operational data from chat messages and produces daily summaries and alerts, without requiring an app or a dashboard.

Use cases

Log daily sales totals via WhatsApp for record keeping and day-over-day comparison
Receive alerts when inventory items such as chicken or olive oil fall below threshold
Track staff attendance, late arrivals, and repeated lateness patterns
Get an automatic 7am briefing with yesterday's sales, low-stock items, and staff notes
Ask questions about past performance, such as what happened on a particular day
Run daily operations for one food truck or a small quick-service location
