INSUBCONTINENT EXCLUSIVE:
or money to building them
So a startup called Guestfriend is planning to make the process as fast and easy as possible.The company has raised $5 million in seed
funding from Primary Venture Partners, Techstars Ventures and betaworks
dietary restrictions and so on
spas/salons/exercise and hotels
(via Google My Business), with plans to support speech platforms like Amazon Alexa and Google Home.The company is actually building these
chatbots without waiting for restaurants to sign up
(You can try them out on the Guestfriend website.) The idea is that publishers with restaurant listings can also incorporate them as a new
way to interact with their sites.At the same time, restaurants can come in and claim their chatbots, which will be updated accordingly
the hopes of answering more timely questions, like whether or not a restaurant is staying open despite bad weather or a holiday
might want to update every day with things like daily specials
For others, a completely automated approach might be the most appealing.
