Osteria LumeA host stand that answers every call, even in the dinner rush
Osteria Lume is a fictional neighborhood restaurant used to show a complete hospitality system: a website with the real menu, reservations that know every table's seats and turn time, deposits only where they belong, catering quotes and a private events pipeline.

The business problem
What changes for Osteria Lume
Before
Without a system
- The phone rings through the dinner rush and nobody can pick it up.
- Reservations live in a paper book at the host stand.
- A party of eight doesn't show on a Saturday and the long table sits empty.
- Catering quotes are worked out by hand from a spreadsheet.
- Private dining inquiries wait in an inbox for days.
After
With the Osteria Lume system
- Guests reserve online at any hour against real table availability.
- Large parties and the chef's counter hold their seats with a deposit and a clear policy.
- Catering is priced instantly, rechecked on the server and turned into a quote and invoices.
- Event inquiries are scored and worked from first email to booked.
- Before service the owner sees tonight's covers, allergies and VIPs.
Workflows
What the system handles
The flows this business depends on, built on the shared platform and set up for how it works.
- 01
Table-aware reservations
Each table has its seats and turn time, so availability respects real table inventory, brunch and dinner hours and the reset between parties. The AI host answers menu and dietary questions from the real menu and books a table in the chat.
- 02
Deposits where they belong
Tables for up to four need no card; parties of five or more and the chef's counter hold seats with a per-guest deposit that comes off the bill.
- 03
Catering calculator
Guests, menu, service style, add-ons and delivery priced live and re-priced on the server, with a 25% deposit to book the date.
- 04
Private events pipeline
Inquiries for the Loft and full buyouts are scored on size, date and minimum spend, then worked from first reply to booked.
