Top-30 regulars = 28% of covers. 4 haven't been in past 6 weeks (the Hassan family, the Patel anniversary table, etc). Drafts the personal text from chef offering their 'usual' on a Tue/Wed quiet night.

These aren't generic 'send a reminder' workflows. They model, recommend, optimise, and tell you what to do. One creative thing each, that no off-the-shelf automation tool can do for you.
Models the diary by service (lunch / dinner / brunch) + table mix + walk-in expectation + no-show probability; drafts the per-shift over/under-book recommendation.
Watches supplier price moves against menu line-items; flags any dish whose theoretical margin has slipped BEFORE the kitchen notices in the monthly P&L.
Per-booking no-show probability model; flags high-risk bookings for credit-card hold + drafts the per-booker confirmation tone that gets the response without feeling distrustful.
Drafts the per-customer review request timed to the emotional peak (24-48h post-dinner) on the right platform per customer profile (Google for couples, TripAdvisor for tourists, Instagram for the food scene).
Per-platform (Deliveroo / UberEats / Just Eat / direct) tracks order mix + margin + customer overlap; drafts the monthly menu-by-platform decision (which dishes stay on which platform vs direct-only).
Tracks every menu change against the FSA allergen matrix; blocks any printed menu / online listing going out with a missing or wrong allergen tag; audits supplier ingredient sheets continuously.
Per-staff early-warning model (rota response, shift swap frequency, social-media signals, training-request frequency); flags retention risk BEFORE the resignation.
Identifies high-LTV private-event opportunities (birthday milestones, engagements, corporate Christmas); drafts the per-customer event pitch + the venue-specific package.
Per-dish margin × popularity 4-quadrant analysis (stars / puzzles / plowhorses / dogs); drafts the monthly menu-board redesign + the per-dish action (promote / re-price / re-cost / cut).
Per-postcode GBP freshness + dish-photo rotation + menu sync + Q&A monitoring; targets local foodie Instagram accounts for repost-baited collaborations.
Same pattern as the salons empty-chair filler but for the off-peak lunch / Tuesday-dinner gaps; targets local office workers, retirees, work-from-home professionals with the right per-customer nudge.
Per-customer special-occasion memory (birthday, anniversary, work-promotion-celebration); drafts the per-customer 'we'd love to host you again' outreach 4-6 weeks before the date.
Tracks weekly cashflow against booked covers + deposit-pipeline + supplier-due dates; flags the weeks where a quiet spell + a big supplier-pay collide BEFORE the overdraft.
