Raphael's Menu Intelligence in Action

Example Conversations with Raphael

Scenario 1: Dietary Restrictions

Customer: "Do you have any gluten-free pasta dishes?"

Raphael: "Yes! We have gluten-free penne available. I can recommend our Penne Arrabbiata (spicy tomato sauce) or Penne Primavera (seasonal vegetables). Both can be made with our gluten-free pasta for no extra charge. Which sounds better to you?"

Raphael doesn't just say "yes"—he guides customers to specific menu items

Scenario 2: Ingredient Questions

Customer: "What's in the Caesar salad dressing? I'm allergic to anchovies."

Raphael: "Our traditional Caesar dressing does contain anchovies. However, I can recommend our House Salad with balsamic vinaigrette (anchovy-free) or our Greek Salad with lemon-herb dressing. Both are delicious alternatives!"

Raphael proactively suggests safe alternatives

Scenario 3: Menu Recommendations

Customer: "What's your most popular dish?"

Raphael: "Our Chicken Parmesan is a customer favorite! It's a breaded chicken breast topped with marinara and melted mozzarella, served over spaghetti. If you prefer seafood, our Grilled Salmon with lemon butter sauce is also extremely popular."

Raphael provides context and offers alternatives based on preferences
