Hey Kompa for restaurants, cafés, and bars

Hosteleria runs on margins, reservations, and reviews. Hey Kompa handles all three from the same WhatsApp you already use during service.

This sounds familiar.

We talked to 62 small restaurants. They all repeat the same things:

  • It's 4pm, dead hour, and you need to plan tomorrow's post. Tomorrow you'll be slammed and won't get to it.
  • 3 messages asking if there's a table on Saturday. You see them at 11pm when you close. They booked somewhere else.
  • Your last Google review is from 4 months ago. The competitor down the street has 23 new ones this month.
  • You paid an agency 800€/mo. They posted dishes you didn't approve, generic stock photos, and never replied to a single DM.
  • Father's Day, Mother's Day, summer kickoff… they always catch you off-guard with no content ready.
WHAT KOMPA DOES FOR YOUR PLACE

3 concrete things.

Built for small hospitality. No 'engagement rate', no 'funnel'. Full tables and not thinking about Instagram while you're plating.

Fill the weekend.

Kompa posts Thursday at 11am with the weekend offer. People who see the post at lunch book for Saturday. Validated: <b>Thursday 11am posts = 3× more bookings</b> than Friday 7pm.

"Saturday: Galician octopus + Ribeiro wine · 22€"

Answered bookings.

"Got a table for 4 on Saturday at 9:30?" Kompa replies in seconds with real availability (if you connected your booking system) or pings your phone if it's important.

"Yes, table for 4. Confirming now. Any allergies?"

More Google reviews.

After a good booking, Kompa sends WhatsApp 24h later asking for a review with a direct link. Not pushy. Validated: <b>+8 reviews/month</b> average on active restaurants.

"Carmen, all good yesterday? Drop us a review here →"

HOSPITALITY-SPECIFIC QUESTIONS

What locals ask us.

Can Kompa handle reservations?

If you connect TheFork, ResOS, Covermanager or similar, Kompa checks real availability and confirms. If not, it routes to the venue phone or WhatsApp.

Does it work during service?

Yes. 24/7. Set "service mode" (silent for you) and Kompa replies to customers without pinging you unless urgent.

Does it know the menu and prices?

You upload your carte once (photo or PDF). Kompa processes it, learns prices, allergens, specialties. If you change the menu, you send the new photo by WhatsApp.

What about food photos?

Kompa does NOT generate food photos with AI (it looks fake). It improves yours with lighting/framing. We recommend a quick phone shot when plating.

Does it cover dates like Father's Day?

Yes. It detects hospitality-relevant dates and proposes a campaign 10–14 days ahead. You approve with a yes.

What if I have multiple venues?

Each venue is a separate account (Pro plan offers volume discount). They can share voice/brand or be fully independent.

You opened at 7am for breakfasts. You’re closing at 1am with the last gin tonics. Between those eighteen hours, somebody messaged you on Instagram, somebody booked a table for Saturday, somebody left a one-star review because the pulpo was cold (it wasn’t — they sat in the terrace and the wind), and somebody wants the menu for their daughter’s communion.

You replied to none of it. You served forty covers and seven coffees instead.

Hey Kompa handles every one of those touchpoints — replies in your voice, books in your system, posts the daily special in the morning, asks the one-star reviewer for the date so you can pull the receipt and reply with facts.

What we handle in hosteleria specifically

  • Reservations — date, party size, allergies, special occasion notes. Confirmations the day before with the reminder of where you are (small streets confuse out-of-towners).
  • Menus and specials — you snap a photo of today’s pizarra at 11am; the agent posts it to Stories, IG feed, and updates your Google profile.
  • Reviews — both directions. Asks happy customers to leave one. Replies to negative ones with the receipt-grounded version of what happened.
  • Provisioning — not yet, honest. The agent will not call your distributor for langostinos. Soon.

What it doesn’t do

  • It doesn’t pour drinks. Yet.
  • It won’t fight with the table that ordered the steak well-done and then complained it was dry.
  • It won’t write your kitchen team’s payroll.
