AI assistant for butchers: orders for weekend and celebrations in one inbox
On Fridays and around the holidays, orders come in all mixed up: by app, e-mail, phone and at the counter. Slimbot collects them in one inbox, asks for what's still missing and puts the request on one card for the customer.
Good afternoon, can I order gourmet for five people for Saturday?
Assistant's draft
Good afternoon! Certainly. What time will you collect it on Saturday, and are there any items that shouldn't be included in the package?

In practice
What comes in at butchers — and what Slimbot does
"I'd like to order a gourmet package for Saturday."
The assistant asks for number of people, collection day and preferences and prepares the order. You confirm.
"Do you have a BBQ package for twenty people?"
Reply from your own range; you confirm the price and availability yourself.
"Does this product contain gluten or lactose?"
No answer from the AI. The question goes directly to the butcher, who provides certainty.
"Is my order ready yet?"
You see the order on the customer card and reply with a draft from the assistant.
"Until what time can I still order for Christmas?"
Answer based on the order threshold you set yourself.
WhatsApp (example)Example
CustomerGood afternoon, can I order gourmet for five people for Saturday?
AssistantGood afternoon! Certainly. At what time will you collect it on Saturday, and are there things that must not be in the package?
CustomerAround 11 o'clock. My son is allergic to nuts.
AssistantThank you. For allergens, I'll ask the butcher to confirm with you personally. I'm preparing the order for Saturday at 11 a.m.

Features
What you get
Features that Slimbot has today. No promises we don't keep.
Orders in one place
An order via WhatsApp, e-mail or website chat arrives in the same inbox, so no one misses a message.
Ask for collection day and time
The assistant asks for number of people, collection day and preferences and prepares that neatly for you. Your team confirms.
Allergens to your team
The assistant does not answer questions about gluten, lactose or nuts itself. They are forwarded to a colleague with priority.
Recognise regular customers
The customer card stores previous orders and preferences, such as "always tartare on Saturday".
A message for the holidays
A campaign with a reminder to order in time, only to customers who have consented to this.
