The AI-first restaurant operating system
Built for the rhythm of service.
Servers talk to guests like they always have. Ampia writes the ticket, fires the kitchen, and runs the house.
Currently in pilot at a full-service restaurant in Arizona.
A scripted restaurant conversation becomes a draft ticket. The server reviews the order before it is sent to the kitchen.
Waiting for the table…
Draft ticket is empty.
A scripted replay of the pilot flow. The real thing runs on your menu.
Built in service
Shaped in a working full-service restaurant.
Human confirmed
A server approves every ticket before it fires.
Privacy by design
Order audio is processed live and not retained.
The order writes itself.
No wake word, no tablet dance. While the server stays with the guest, the AI builds the ticket in realtime and asks for help only when it is genuinely unsure.
Listen
A tap starts the session. The conversation streams as the server takes the order at the table. Audio is never recorded or kept.
Understand
Speech is matched against your live menu, including variants, modifiers, combos, and mid-sentence corrections.
Confirm
The server reviews the draft ticket and fires when it reads right. Nothing reaches the kitchen without a human's say-so.
One system for the whole house.
Voice is the headline, not the whole product. Underneath it is a complete front-of-house platform.
Table-side POS
Coursing, bar tabs, splits, transfers, and money corrections. Built for the pace of a Friday rush.
Host stand and floor
Reservations, waitlist, and a live floor plan with sections, server rotation, and coverage alerts when a break would leave tables unwatched.
Menu management
Menus, schedules, modifiers, and combos in one library, published straight to a guest-facing QR menu.
Voice on every surface
The same AI layer that takes orders runs the rest of the house: 86 an item out loud, ask how the night is going, close the day by talking to it.
Staff and access
Roles, permissions, and a time clock. Everyone sees exactly what their job needs and nothing more.
Live operations
Sales, labor, and service numbers as they happen. And when a chart is not enough, ask the question in plain English.
Your own storefront
A website and app for your restaurant with takeout and delivery built in, dispatched through the delivery networks you already use. Your menu drives all of it from one place, so an 86 on the floor is an 86 online, instantly.
AI is not a feature we bolted on. It is the foundation we started from.
Legacy POS vendors add a chatbot and call it intelligence. Ampia was designed around the conversation: the order, the floor, the menu, the schedule. Everything else is built on a system that listens.
Product direction
A house that remembers.
One guest, start to finish. This is the connected journey Ampia is designed to make possible as each module comes online.
She books with Ampia Reserve
Dana reserves Friday at 7 through the restaurant's own site. The booking enters the same house that will greet and serve her.
The house remembers
She orders a Blue Moon with dinner. Ampia files it away with her profile, the way a good bartender would.
Her server gets a nudge
Next visit, the suggestion is waiting on the ticket: offer the Blue Moon. It feels like hospitality, because it is.
Her usual, one tap away
Tuesday, she opens your app for takeout and her regular order is already at the top, delivery included.
She becomes a regular
By the third visit the host knows her name, her table, and what to pour. Every visit teaches the house a little more.

Designed for service
The server stays in control.
Ampia drafts and coordinates. Your team reviews, approves, and runs the room. The technology supports hospitality without replacing the judgment that makes it work.
Confirm before fire
Nothing reaches the kitchen until a server approves the draft.
Built around your menu
Variants, modifiers, and corrections stay grounded in the menu you operate.
Pilot with people
Rollout happens with the restaurant team, one dependable workflow at a time.
