Book a restaurant table

“I want a table for the right place, time and group without twenty clicks.”

AI can shortlist places by cuisine, price and distance, then reserve through booking sites or draft a call. Tell it budget and group size up front — it won't always ask.

Fix it yourself in 3 steps

Say the date, time window, party size, area, budget and any diet needs.
Ask for 3 options with menus or prices, then pick one.
Let it reserve up to the confirm step, or call yourself with its script.

Copy this prompt

Find a restaurant for [party size] on [date] between [times] near [area], budget [per person], dietary needs [list]. Give me 3 options with a menu link and price range. After I pick, start the reservation and stop before the final confirm, so I can check details. Don't add a credit card.

Fill in the [brackets]. Each prompt says when the AI should stop, so it doesn't wander off.
