AI Front Office by The Tailored Taproom

A future front-office layer for the calls and questions your team cannot always answer.

AI-assisted phone and messaging workflows designed to answer common questions, capture inquiries, qualify opportunities and help route customers to the right next step.

Coming later

Not a replacement for hospitality. A safety net for the moments your team is unavailable.

A bartender should be serving guests, not reading scripted answers about parking, hours and private-event availability while the bar is three deep.

Answer routine calls

Handle common questions when staff cannot get to the phone.

?

Answer common questions

Hours, location, basic policies, event information and other approved FAQs.

Capture real opportunities

Route private-event, reservation and other valuable inquiries into the appropriate follow-up workflow.

Planned capabilities

Keep the AI focused on useful, bounded tasks.

Phone answering

Handle selected incoming calls when your team is unavailable.

FAQ handling

Answer approved questions from the brewery’s own information and policies.

Lead qualification

Collect the basics before handing valuable inquiries to a manager.

Appointment or event handoff

Guide customers toward the correct booking or inquiry process.

Call routing

Escalate or route calls that need a human.

Conversation logging

Keep the interaction attached to the customer record for follow-up.

Designed with boundaries

The system should know when to stop automating and hand the customer to a person.

We would rather automate a narrow set of routine interactions reliably than make the AI pretend it can handle every guest situation. Human escalation and clear guardrails are part of the design.

Routine FAQ: Answer from approved information
Private event inquiry: Capture and qualify
Complex complaint: Route to a manager
Unknown answer: Do not invent — escalate
Conversation: Save for staff follow-up
Future premium tier

AI Front Office will sit above the core Taproom Operations system.

We plan to validate lead capture, event follow-up and CRM workflows first, then add AI where it clearly reduces repetitive front-office work.

Preliminary: $399–$499/month

Expected to include the underlying Taproom Operations workflows plus AI-assisted phone or messaging capabilities. Usage-based phone, messaging and AI costs may be billed separately depending on configuration.
