BRIEF FIRST FOR RESTAURANTS

One page. A private line to every guest.

Answer menu questions in any language, handle requests with less back-and-forth, hear what guests might otherwise leave without saying, and let them choose what you remember for next time.

Restaurant

Any menu question, the Wi-Fi, or your server in a tap — and if something’s not right, tell us privately.

AI host by Brief First

No app. Nothing to download. Just your restaurant at brieffirst.com/yourname.

Your page, guest messages, and dashboard stay free. Every new restaurant also receives $30 of host use without entering a card.

HOW IT WORKS · 1 OF 2

What guests see.

Here’s how the guest page works. Tap anything below and it explains itself.

Restaurant
A neighborhood spot — your kind of place.

Hi — I'm Restaurant's host. Ask me anything about the menu — any dish, any question.

THE CARDFree

Your restaurant’s own page — your name at the top, your words all the way down.

It’s free, and entirely yours to run — change a price or add a special yourself, and it’s live in minutes, no reprints and no waiting on a web person. Guests meet your restaurant directly, not a listing squeezed between competitors on someone else’s app.

Tap it again, or Specials, to bring the menu back.

THE LINE UNDER YOUR NAMEFree

One sentence about the place, in your voice.

You write it once in Menu & setup. It’s the first thing a guest reads, and the first thing the host learns about your tone.

Tap it again, or Specials, to bring the menu back.

BOOK A TABLE · GIFT CARDS · WEBSITEFree

Your existing links, one tap away.

Guests reach the booking page, gift cards, and site you already have. The host never books or sells — it points, your systems do the work. Leave one empty and it simply doesn’t show.

Tap it again, or Specials, to bring the menu back.

THE GREETINGWith the host

The host introduces itself the moment the page opens.

It says hello in your restaurant’s name and invites the guest to ask — and that costs you nothing until a guest actually types. Where the guest scanned from changes the greeting: a table, a window sign, a receipt each get their own.

Tap it again, or Specials, to bring the menu back.

THE SPECIALS TABFree

Your specials, dated today, automatically.

You write the specials once; the date is added for you, so the board is never stale. Leave it empty and the tab shows nothing rather than yesterday’s.

Tap it again, or Specials, to bring the menu back.

THE PRIVATE EVENTS TABFree

Where a guest tells you they’re planning something.

A birthday, a rehearsal dinner, a team lunch — the guest leaves the details and a way to reach them, and it lands on your board as an event enquiry to call back. With the host on, it gathers the details in conversation so you call already knowing the date and headcount.

Tap it again, or Specials, to bring the menu back.

THE OFFERS TABFree

Whatever you’re running right now, in your words.

Happy hour, a lunch deal, a regulars’ night. Add it, remove it, no design needed.

Tap it again, or Specials, to bring the menu back.

THE HOURS TABFree

Your hours, and anything a guest should know before coming in.

Parking, Wi-Fi, walk-ins, kids — the questions your phone rings with. Write them once; guests read them, and the host answers from them.

Tap it again, or Specials, to bring the menu back.

THE OUR STORY TABFree

Who you are and why this place exists.

A few sentences from you. It’s what a regular would tell a friend, and it’s where the host learns to sound like your room.

Tap it again, or Specials, to bring the menu back.

THE SHARE TABFree

The page travels with the guest.

One tap sends your link to a friend, a group chat, or their own notes for next time. The same page, wherever it lands.

Tap it again, or Specials, to bring the menu back.

THE HINT LINEWith the host

The line that tells a guest the menu is alive.

Every dish can be tapped; anything can be asked. Guests who’d never flag a server will tap a dish.

Tap it again, or Specials, to bring the menu back.

THE DATE LINEFree

Today’s date and how many specials are on.

Written by the page, not by you, in your restaurant’s own time zone. The board always reads as today’s.

Tap it again, or Specials, to bring the menu back.

A DISHFree

Name, price, and your description — exactly as you wrote it.

Guests read it, tap it to hear more, and ask the host what’s in it or what goes with it. Your words are the only source; nothing gets invented.

Tap it again, or Specials, to bring the menu back.

THE ASK LINEWith the host

Where a guest asks anything about a dish, in their own language.

They get an answer grounded in your menu and written in your voice — what’s in it, what’s spicy, what a name means, what to order for a table of six. A menu can’t do this.

Tap it again, or Specials, to bring the menu back.

REMEMBER THISWith the host

A guest marks a line they want you to keep.

“We’re vegetarian.” “Anniversary is in May.” They choose what’s remembered; it goes into your guest book in their own words. Next visit, the host already knows.

Tap it again, or Specials, to bring the menu back.

ANYTHING NOT RIGHT?Free

A guest tells you privately, in their own words, while they’re still seated.

When something matters, they can tell you — while there’s still time to act. It reaches your board the same minute, never a review site. Nine in ten unhappy guests never complain (the research behind that number →) — this gives them a way that isn’t a scene.

Tap it again, or Specials, to bring the menu back.

SOMETHING MADE YOUR DAY?Free

A compliment that reaches the team during service, not a review next week.

Guests say it more than you’d think when it’s this easy. Your team sees the words, exactly as written.

Tap it again, or Specials, to bring the menu back.

NEED SOMETHING?With the host

A guest taps, says what they need, and your server arrives with it.

More water, extra napkins, the check — one walk instead of two. Without the host, this line is a plain “wave your server over.”

Tap it again, or Specials, to bring the menu back.

BEEN HERE BEFORE?Free

The page remembers a returning guest.

They’re welcomed by name — recognition only, no points, no app, nothing to sign up for. Being remembered is what most guests say makes them feel valued, and most places don’t do it (the research →). With the host on, whatever they asked you to remember is already in its hands the moment they say hello.

Tap it again, or Specials, to bring the menu back.

ASK IN ANY LANGUAGEWith the host

The host answers in whatever language the guest writes in.

No language list to pick from, so nobody is left out by omission. Your menu stays in your words; the answer arrives in theirs.

Tap it again, or Specials, to bring the menu back.

DIM THE LIGHTSFree

The guest flips the page to a dark surface for a dim room.

That’s all it does — and it’s the one control on the page that isn’t about food.

Tap it again, or Specials, to bring the menu back.

HONEST BY DESIGNFree

The one line that says what’s answering — and what it won’t pretend to know.

Guests see that answers come from what you provided and can be wrong — and that a serious allergy always goes through your server and the kitchen. It protects you as much as them: the host never claims kitchen truth on your behalf.

Tap it again, or Specials, to bring the menu back.

THE ORDER PADWith the host

Guests build the order themselves and send it to the floor in one tap.

Each + adds a dish; where a dish has a choice, they pick from your options only. The order lands on your board with the table number — it only opens for a guest who scanned at the table, so someone reading your page from a receipt, a shared link, or your website never sees it at all. Payment stays with you — the page never takes money. Off by default; you switch it on when you’re ready.

Tap it again, or Specials, to bring the menu back.

Your conversation

Ask in any language.

Honest by design — an AI host that can make mistakes, but won't guess at what only the kitchen can answer. For a serious allergy, your server confirms with the kitchen.

Free on every page: the card, every tab, the private line, praise, the server call. With the host: answers, requests brought to the table, the order pad, and a guest book that grows. The tag on each lesson says which.

THE REST OF IT

What’s free, what it costs, and what kind of place you run.

Brief First is an AI host for guests, accessible from a small card in your restaurant: they can ask about anything on your menu in their own language, get answers grounded in your menu and your words, and tell you privately if something isn’t right — while there’s still time to fix it.

It’s built for owner-run restaurants — one location or a few — where the person editing the menu is often the same person answering the phone. Not chains, large restaurant groups, or hospitality vendors.

Free is not a trial. No card, no expiration, no limit on how many guests use the page — the private line, praise, event enquiries, the server call, and your dashboard all keep working for as long as you run them. Every new restaurant also starts with $30 of host use, and if it runs out, nothing breaks: everything already caught stays exactly where it is, and the host simply rests until you subscribe. Paid plans are $30, $100, or $200 per month, depending on usage. Every paid plan includes the same six core components: the menu host, guest requests sent to your team, the order pad, event enquiries collected, a growing guest book, and the dashboard assistant. The price changes with use, not features.

Whichever kind of place you run, the card is the same — only what carries the value changes:

A dinner house

Every table gets the host. Recovery and events carry the value — the birthday nobody had to phone ahead for.

A café

Regulars are the business. The guest book is the return on the card, not a bonus.

A takeout counter

One door does the work: the receipt line. A wrong order becomes a callback the same day, not a review.

A place travelers find

No regulars, so reviews are the memory. The private line is pure review defense.

A restaurant that caters

Recognized guests can be whole businesses — a standing order remembered and brought to you in one line, from the same card.

Your website tells people about your restaurant. This lets them talk back — asking about a dish it can’t explain, or planning a birthday your reservation system can’t understand. It doesn’t replace your website, your point of sale, or your staff; it catches what they were never built to hear.

It never takes payment, makes a reservation on its own, pushes a guest toward a review, or claims to know what only your kitchen can confirm.

One small card can’t replace hospitality.
It can help you hear what usually leaves with the guest.
