AI chatbot for WPCafe: answers menu, ingredient, and reservation questions
SleekAI reads WPCafe menu items, food categories, allergens, daily specials, and live reservation availability so guests get accurate dish, dietary, and table answers in chat without leaving the conversation or scrolling through a long PDF menu.

A chatbot that knows your full menu
WPCafe stores each dish as a wpcafe_menu_item post with description, price, category, allergen tags, and dietary flags. Reservations live in WPCafe's booking tables with capacity per shift and per table type. SleekAI reads both, so "anything gluten-free for dinner" produces five real dishes with prices, and "table for two at 7:30 tonight" gets answered against actual capacity for that shift.
Allergens are where most restaurant chatbots fall short. WPCafe lets you tag dishes with gluten-free, vegan, nut-free, and any custom dietary classification, and SleekAI passes those tags as filters rather than as keywords. A guest with a peanut allergy asking "what's safe for me" gets a list of items where the nut-free tag is true, not items where the description happens to not mention nuts. The same applies to spice levels, ingredient swaps, and chef's-choice modifications when those are stored on the item.
Reservation flows route through WPCafe's API, so the booking record looks identical to one made through the standard public form. Walk-in availability, party size, and shift capacity are all respected. For multi-location chains, a single bot can scope to the location it's embedded on, reading that location's menu, opening hours, and reservation calendar without bleeding across branches.

Features
What SleekAI gives you for WPCafe
Full menu context
Every wpcafe_menu_item with its description, price, category, and dietary flags is part of the prompt, so the bot describes dishes from real records, not invention.
Dietary filters
Allergens and dietary tags are read as structured filters, so vegan, gluten-free, and nut-free questions return items where the tag is actually true on the dish record.
Reservation aware
Live capacity per shift and per table type is checked against existing bookings, so the bot never offers a table that's already taken or a shift past capacity.
Use cases
Where teams use this for WPCafe
Restaurants
Guests preview the menu and book a table without leaving the conversation. Allergen and dietary questions get accurate answers from tag data, not from the description.
Cafes and bakeries
Customers ask about daily specials, opening hours, and allergens. Pre-order capabilities surface when WPCafe's online ordering is active, with cart-building inside chat.
Multi-location chains
Each location runs its own bot scoped to that menu and reservation calendar. A guest on the Brooklyn page sees Brooklyn-only items, hours, and table availability.
The bigger picture
Why menu and reservation context matters for restaurants
Restaurant marketing is a margin business. Every reservation that doesn't show, every guest who can't find what they need on the menu and gives up, every party with a dietary restriction that calls three places before booking — all of that costs the restaurant covers. A chatbot that doesn't know the menu makes the problem worse.
"What's gluten-free" gets answered with "please check our allergen menu" or, worse, with a list invented from generic restaurant knowledge. Either response is a reason to go elsewhere. The shift is to make sure the bot is actually reading the menu the kitchen serves.
Dietary tags applied in WPCafe propagate to the bot, so a celiac guest gets a real list. Daily specials added that morning show up the same afternoon. The restaurant doesn't have to maintain a separate FAQ document or chatbot training set — the menu is the source of truth, and the chat surface follows.
Combine that with reservation awareness, and the bot becomes a serious tool for off-hours questions. Late-night queries about whether the restaurant takes walk-ins on Tuesdays get answered without anyone on staff, and the conversion from "considering it" to "booked it" closes inside the conversation.
Questions
Common questions about SleekAI for WPCafe
Yes. When WPCafe online ordering is active, the bot can build a cart by adding items in conversation and link to checkout with the items pre-selected. The guest finalizes payment through WPCafe's standard checkout, so promo codes, taxes, and delivery fees calculate the same way they would on the public ordering page.
 Yes. Allergen and dietary taxonomies are part of context, so the bot only suggests items matching the visitor's requirements. Multiple constraints combine — "vegan and nut-free" returns items where both tags are true. The bot also flags items with possible cross-contamination if you've stored that note on the dish.
 Yes. Daily and weekly specials stored as menu items or in custom fields are surfaced for the relevant date. If your specials are time-bounded — Tuesday taco night, weekend brunch — the bot respects the schedule and only mentions them on the right days. Adding a new special to the menu propagates to chat without any extra step.
 Yes. When reservations are enabled, the bot checks live availability per shift and per table type, then creates the booking through WPCafe's API once the guest confirms. Confirmation emails, host notifications, and any deposit captures fire identically to a manual reservation. The booking record looks the same in the WPCafe admin.
 Yes. Breakfast, lunch, dinner, and brunch menus are scoped by category so each conversation gets the right items. If a guest asks about dinner at 11am, the bot can either explain that dinner service starts at 5pm or surface the lunch options that overlap, depending on how you've configured the prompt.
 Yes. Restaurant hours stored in the WPCafe settings are part of context so the bot quotes accurate open and close times per day. Holiday hours, special closures, and reduced hours for private events read the same way as long as they're stored in the settings rather than in a static page.
 Yes. Pre-order workflows route through WPCafe's pre-order extension if it's active, and the bot can answer lead time and minimum order questions from the configuration. Catering inquiries that don't fit the standard flow get collected in chat and forwarded to whatever inbox you've set as the catering contact.
 Yes. The bot can take preferences — "I like spicy, no shellfish, prefer chicken" — and walk the menu for matches, ranked by category. The recommendation is grounded in real menu data with real prices, so the guest doesn't end up wanting something that's not actually on the menu. For high-end restaurants this becomes a real concierge-style interaction.
