Choosing a restaurant now happens before the click.
Your future guests describe to an assistant the mood they're after, their budget, dietary needs, or the occasion they're planning. To make its shortlist, your restaurant needs to be understood from reliable information: yours.

The shift
Guests no longer just search for a cuisine. They describe a dinner.
“I'm looking for a quiet bistro in Lyon, Saturday night, for six people, with a gluten-free option and a budget of about €40 per person.” The assistant interprets these criteria, compares available information, and suggests a few places. The shortlisting happens before your website is even visited.
An already-argued shortlist
The assistant interprets the request, cross-references available information, and offers a shortlist it can explain.
Your website is still essential. But a first shortlist can now happen before a guest even visits it.
02
What gets lost
Your restaurant lives in the details. But those details are rarely gathered in one place.
The daily special gets posted as a story. Allergens are logged in a binder. Group hosting conditions are known to the maître d'. The shaded terrace isn't mentioned anywhere. An assistant can only correctly use what it can find, understand, date, and verify.
What changes every day
Daily special, deliveries, sold-out items, exceptional closures
What determines a visit
Terrace, stroller access, noise level, round tables, accessibility
What needs a reliable answer
Allergens, adaptations actually possible in the kitchen, homemade
What sets you apart
Producers, wine list, history, languages spoken
Without a reference source, your restaurant risks being reduced to what an assistant can easily verify: an address, an average price, and a rating.

The Weftd answer
An official source for your restaurant. Not one more platform to manage.
Weftd creates your Space: a single place that gathers your restaurant's information, organizes it, and lets you validate it before it's used by your website, your team, or compatible assistants.
Gather
Website, menus, documents, social media, and business listing: you start from what already exists.
Organize
Weftd identifies useful information, flags gaps, and organizes it so it's easy to use.
Validate
Nothing becomes official without your review. You stay in control of what represents your restaurant.
Activate
Your Space can then feed your conversational page, internal uses, and, where compatible, AI assistants.
Your sources
- Your website
- Menus and documents
- Business listing
- Social media
Your validated Space
- Organized information
- Dated updates
- Human validation
Your uses
- Guest answers
- Team and phone
- Posts
- Compatible assistants
This isn't one more chatbot on your website. It's the shared information base that lets your different touchpoints give consistent answers.

Concrete example
A simple question. The right answer needs precise facts.
Pick a situation. The page shows the information needed to give a precise, verifiable answer.
A sample scenario, not a live assistant.
Guest's question
“Can the tasting menu be adapted gluten-free?”
Information used
- Allergens declared dish by dish
- Adaptations actually feasible in the kitchen
- Notice period requested by the team
Sample answer
Several dishes can be adapted gluten-free. The restaurant does ask to be notified 24 hours in advance to confirm the full menu. In case of an allergy, the team also needs to confirm preparation conditions and any cross-contamination risk.A sample scenario, not a live assistant.
Guest's question
“Can you host ten people tomorrow evening?”
Information used
- Declared capacity and availability
- Group conditions
- Link to the booking tool
Sample answer
For ten people, booking is possible with the group menu. A deposit is only required from fifteen guests onward. Availability for tomorrow evening still needs to be checked in the booking tool.A sample scenario, not a live assistant.

The whitepaper
Understand how AI is changing how a restaurant gets chosen.
The whitepaper explains how assistants step in before the click, why platforms risk taking up even more space, and how to take back control of the information that represents your restaurant.
- What assistants see (and don't see) about a restaurant
- Why being well-ranked isn't always enough anymore
- How assistants and platforms can position themselves before a booking
- How a single information base can serve the phone, posts, and guest answers
- How Weftd fits into your website and your current tools
Frequently asked questions
Your questions before getting started.
I already have a website and a Google listing. Do I really need a Space?
Your website and listing remain essential: they reassure guests, make your restaurant visible, and make booking easier. The Space adds a structured information base, validated by you and usable by compatible interfaces. The two approaches complement each other.
Does Weftd guarantee ChatGPT or another AI will recommend my restaurant?
No. No one can guarantee a consumer assistant will recommend your restaurant. Weftd helps you publish a reliable, up-to-date source that compatible interfaces can use. Each assistant remains free to choose its own sources and rules.
Is this a chatbot added to my website?
No. A conversational page can be one of the Space's uses, but Weftd is first about gathering, organizing, and validating your restaurant's official information. That same base can then serve your website, your team, and compatible assistants.
Does Weftd replace my booking software, my POS, or my payment system?
No. Your availability, prices, and transactions stay managed by your business tools. Weftd provides useful information and directs the guest back to those tools when it's time to book or pay.
Who validates the published information?
You or your team. Weftd analyzes sources, extracts useful facts, and proposes a structure, but nothing becomes official without human validation.
Can I answer guests in several languages?
Yes. The Space can organize the same information in several languages. Compatible interfaces can then answer in the guest's language from validated content, without recreating a separate base for each market.
Stay in control
If your restaurant isn't its own best source, someone else will tell its story instead.
