Example: a server quietly asks Hey Bistro whether the mushroom risotto contains dairy and hears back: yes, butter, Parmesan and cream, from the restaurant's allergen guide.

Your staff alwaysknows the answer.

Instant answers about your menu, recipes, wine, cocktails, allergens, policies and more, right when your staff needs them.

Get startedSee How It Works

Your restaurant already has the answers.Your staff just needs access to them.

Tonight they live in a recipe binder, last season's wine list, the chef's memory and a manager on the other side of the floor. Hey Bistro gathers them into one place your whole team can ask.

  • Risotto: butter and parm. Vegan? Ask chef.

  • Corkage $25, two bottles max

    Sticky note by the POS

  • Caymus with the ribeye or the lamb

    Last season's wine list

  • Birthdays: comp tiramisu, one candle

    Group text, last Tuesday

  • Close: lock the cooler, log the count

  • Bisque has shellfish and dairy

Six places to look. With Hey Bistro, one question.

Ask it the way you'd ask the chef.

Staff ask in their own words. Hey Bistro answers from your restaurant's own documents and shows where every answer came from.

Hey Bistro

Yes. It's finished with butter and Parmesan, and there's no dairy-free version on tonight's menu.

Allergy answers remind staff to confirm with the kitchen.

“Is the mushroom risotto vegan?”

A general-purpose chatbot

Risotto can often be made vegan by swapping butter for olive oil and using vegetable stock.

Hey Bistro

No. Ours is finished with butter and Parmesan, and the stock is made with chicken.
