AI automation for restaurants in San Juan, built and run for you.

Rabbithole is a San Juan firm that designs, builds and operates the automation behind restaurants in Puerto Rico: phone and reservations, takeout questions, review replies, reminders, follow-up and the numbers you check every morning. We build it on top of the POS and tools you already use and run it for you on a monthly retainer.

The Problem

You already know where it slips.

It's not the food. It's the calls, messages and admin work that land on your staff in the middle of service.

01

The phone rings in the middle of the rush.

Reservations, hours, parking. Whoever picks up stops serving. If nobody picks up, the table goes somewhere else.

02

The same questions all day.

Menu, hours, takeout, large groups, dietary options and allergies. Your staff answers them one at a time, by phone, email and messages.

03

Reviews pile up unanswered.

A good review deserves a thank-you and a bad one needs a fast, careful reply. Nobody has time for either on a Friday night.

04

You find out at month-end.

Sales in the POS, labor in the schedule, costs in the bank. The numbers you need today show up weeks later.

The hard truth

A missed call during dinner service is a table that went down the street. The work in front of the house doesn't stop, so the work behind it has to run on its own.

We don't sell software.
We build infrastructure.

Restaurant software is one more tool your managers have to learn and babysit. Infrastructure is the layer that sits on top of your restaurant and does the work. Custom-built and operated end to end.

What We Build

What we build for restaurants.

We build what your restaurant needs and skip what it doesn't.

01 · Phone & Reservations

Every call answered, even mid-rush.

  • An AI receptionist that answers 24/7, in English or Spanish
  • Takes reservation requests and answers hours, menu and parking questions from your own information
  • Hands the call to your staff when a person is needed
02 · Reservation & Takeout Chat

Answers on your website, day and night.

  • Reservation chat on your website
  • Takeout and menu questions answered
  • Large-party and event inquiries routed to you with the details
03 · Reviews

Every review gets a reply.

  • On-brand replies drafted for your Google reviews and other platforms
  • Written in the reviewer's language
  • Low ratings and sensitive reviews come to you first
04 · Reminders & Follow-up

Fewer no-shows, more regulars.

  • Reservation reminders by text
  • Follow-up after the visit, including the review request
  • Automated follow-up for catering and event leads
05 · One Inbox

Every message in one place.

  • Email, SMS and reviews routed to one inbox
  • Replies drafted in your restaurant's voice
  • Urgent items flagged for a manager
06 · Numbers & Back Office

The numbers, every morning.

  • A daily digest of sales and labor pulled from your POS
  • Inventory tracking and reorder triggers
  • Staff scheduling and shift coordination
How It Works

Three steps. Two to four weeks.

Running two to four weeks after kickoff, then a monthly retainer.

Step 01

Audit

We map how calls, reservations, messages, reviews and numbers move through your restaurant today and find where tables and hours slip away.

3 days Included
Step 02

Build

We set up the phone, chat, review replies, reminders and reports around your menu, your hours and your voice. Nothing for your staff to manage.

2 to 4 weeks Deployment
Step 03

Operate

We run, monitor and improve everything on a monthly retainer. If something breaks, we fix it.

You talk to the people who build your system, not a junior account manager.

✓

Predictable pricing

A monthly retainer, plus a one-time setup fee where the scope calls for it. Month to month. No surprise invoices.

The Promise
Your business should run while you sleep. If it doesn't, you don't own it. It owns you.
That's the line we draw. Everything we build is in service of putting you on the right side of it.
FAQ

What restaurant owners ask before we start.

Do I have to switch POS systems?

+

No. We build on top of the POS you already run: Square, Toast, Clover, Lightspeed, Shopify POS and more. If it has an API or an export, we connect it.

Does it work in English and Spanish?

+

Yes. The phone receptionist and the website chat answer in either language, and review replies are written in the reviewer's language.

What happens when someone needs a real person?

+

It goes to a person. Every system we ship has escalation rules and a human in the loop where it matters, so a complaint, a special request or a bad review reaches you or your staff instead of getting an automatic answer.

Do you replace my staff?

+

No. We replace the worst parts of their day: answering the same question all night, copying numbers between systems, building reports by hand. Your people spend that time on guests.

How much does it cost?

+

It depends on scope. Some engagements are a flat monthly retainer that covers audit, build, deploy and operate. Others add a one-time setup fee for the build, plus the monthly retainer. Pricing is laid out before we start, with no surprise invoices. The retainer is month to month, with no long-term contract.

How fast can it be running?

+

Audit in three days, then your systems built and live in two to four weeks from kickoff. If we're not running in your business within 30 days of kickoff, you don't pay your second month.

Where are you based?

+

San Juan, Puerto Rico. We work in person with restaurants here and remotely with restaurants anywhere else. Same team and same access either way.

Your kitchen is busy enough. Let the rest run on its own.
