Answering. Ordering. Booking. Hiring. Payroll. Shisu handles them all — so your people stay on the floor, not the screen.
Answers every call.
A pickup order, “are service dogs allowed?”, a Friday table for four — Shisu picks up on the first ring, rings takeout straight into the POS, answers from your house rules, and books the table. No hold, ever.
Learn more →It staffs ahead of the rush.
It reads your POS and reservation signals, forecasts the peak, and spots the gap before you do — then posts the roles, screens applicants, books interviews, and onboards your hire through payroll and training.

A Google review says the rice was undercooked. Shisu scans the photo, matches it to an order from the last hour and to the guest by name, then routes the feedback to the exact cook and host by text — and drafts your reply.

No add-on tiers, no per-feature upsells. OpenTable-grade reservations, enterprise-grade payroll, and Wi-Fi-down cellular failover all ship standard — and the AI runs it.
