The money that walked away from your front door
A restaurant doesn't lose most of its sales because the customer decided no. It loses them because nobody replied in time.
Picture a normal day. Someone messages on WhatsApp asking for a quote for a lunch for 40 people. The manager is in the middle of service, sees it two hours later, replies, and by then the customer has already booked somewhere else. Another person opens your delivery system, fills the cart with three mains and two desserts, reaches checkout, and gets distracted. Nobody writes back. That order simply evaporates.
That wasn't lack of interest. It was silence. And in a restaurant, silence costs money every single day.
At Catalizadora we build AI agents that live inside your WhatsApp and close exactly that gap: the space between what the customer wants and your ability to respond.
What an AI agent does with a half-finished quote
An agent is not an automated menu or a "press 1." It's a system that talks in your brand's voice, understands what the customer wants, and pushes the sale toward closing.
When someone asks for an event quote, the agent:
- Replies in seconds, at any hour, without a human picking up a phone.
- Asks what's missing: date, headcount, whether it's a private room or delivery service.
- Builds the quote with your real prices and sends it right there in the chat.
- If the customer goes quiet, it doesn't let them go: it follows up a few hours later and the next day, with a natural message, not spam.
- When there's an agreement, it books the date and sends the deposit payment link.
Every step lands in your CRM. You know who asked for what, where the conversation stalled, and what that lead is worth.
The abandoned cart in delivery
In delivery, the abandoned cart is the most expensive leak and the most invisible one. The customer already chose, they're already hungry, they almost paid. They just need a nudge.
An agent connected to your order flow notices the order stalled and messages on WhatsApp: "I saw you had an order ready for al pastor tacos and two horchatas. Want me to confirm it and send you the payment link?" In a single message it recovers a sale you'd already written off.
Why human follow-up never keeps up
A manager can follow up on three or four quotes a day on a quiet day. The rest pile up. The agent follows up on hundreds in parallel, without getting tired, without forgetting a single one, without anyone having to remember.
The difference isn't speed. It's coverage. The human handles what's urgent; the agent handles everything.
Concrete numbers
We won't invent metrics from cases that aren't yours. But your own arithmetic is enough.
Say you get 10 group quote requests a week and close 3, because the rest go cold before you reply. The average ticket on a 40-person event weighs far more than a regular table. Recovering just one extra quote a week already changes your month.
Add delivery: if a fraction of abandoned carts come back because someone wrote in time, that's net revenue that used to hit the floor.
Now compare that to the cost. An AI agent with Catalizadora starts with MAGIA Solo at $4,500 USD, delivered in 15 days. Monthly operation is pass-through, roughly $200 to $400 USD for hosting and tokens, with no markup from us. We don't charge retainers or locked-in licenses. If a single recovered group quote a month already covers operation, the rest is profit.
The three options
- MAGIA Solo — $4,500 USD, 15 days. Your WhatsApp AI agent in your brand's voice, qualifying leads, booking and sending payment links, all wired to your CRM. Ideal for a restaurant that wants to stop losing quotes now.
- MAGIA Core — $15,000 USD. When you also want the site, the content, and the full digital operation around the agent.
- Forge — $20,000 USD, 12 weeks. For restaurant groups or chains that need something custom, with multiple locations or deeper integrations.
In all three, the code, the data, and the infrastructure are 100% yours. We don't tie you to anything.
How we build it
We follow a methodology called MAGIA: Mapping, Architecture, Generation, Implementation, and Autonomy.
First we map how a sale arrives and gets lost in your restaurant today. Then we design the agent's flow: what it asks, how it quotes, when it follows up. We generate it in your brand's voice, connect it to your WhatsApp and CRM, and leave it running on its own. You check the dashboard and serve the customers who already arrive warm.
On visibility, yes, we do help more people find you, with a proprietary technical layer we won't detail here. But the heart of this post is something else: making sure no sale that was already at your door leaves because of silence.
Start with the leak, not the theory
You don't need to reinvent your operation. You need to plug the most expensive leak first: the quotes and carts that go cold.
Message our AI agent on WhatsApp and experience it as a customer: ask it for an event quote and watch how it responds, qualifies, and books. It's the best demo of what it would do for your restaurant.
