Listings answer first
An assistant that can only read directory and marketplace pages repeats them back as the answer.

AI assistants · Claude, ChatGPT and more Found in AI. Booked direct.
Guests can now ask Claude or ChatGPT where to eat. The assistant answers from whatever it can read, and when that is a directory or a marketplace that charges commission, the guest ends up there instead of on your own booking page.
The answer goes to whatever the assistant can read
A fee on a guest who asked for you
A guest who searched for your restaurant by name can still be sent to a platform that charges you for the booking or the order.
Booking platform fees
Delivery app commission
Their brand, not yours
Your own details stay unseen
Without a live connection to your restaurant, the assistant has no reliable way to know today's hours, this week's dishes or which tables are free.
Hours out of date
Dishes missing
No table times
Found
Found by name, dish, town or postcode
Guests ask in their own words. The assistant searches every restaurant published on TableSpark and answers with yours: the town, the cuisine, whether you are open now in UK time, and whether guests can book or order.
- Special dates and bank holidays from your opening hours
- Open-now worked out the same way your website does it
Menu
Your live menu, word for word
The assistant reads the menu you publish: sections, dishes, prices, dietary labels and allergens exactly as you list them, with sold-out dishes marked. Change a price in TableSpark and assistants read the new one.
- Guests with allergies are reminded to confirm with you
- Draft menus and hidden dishes stay private
Table times
Real table times from your booking system
With live table booking on Growth or Full, the assistant checks the same availability your booking form uses, for the guest's date and party size, and offers the times closest to the one they asked for. Every time comes with its own booking link.
- Your services, slot length and capacity decide what is offered
- Times already past today are left out
Booking
The booking is made on your website
The assistant hands the guest a link to your own booking form, with the date, party size and time they chose already filled in. The guest adds their details and the booking lands in your TableSpark Inbox, at 0% TableSpark commission.
- The guest record is yours, in your guest list
- Deposits and reminders work exactly as they do for any booking
Ordering
Dishes already in the basket
For collection and delivery on Full, the guest picks dishes in the conversation and the assistant opens your order page with them already in the basket. They review the order and pay you there.
- Prices are checked again at checkout
- Dishes with choices to make are left for the guest to add on your site
Events and vouchers
Events and gift vouchers too
Guests can ask what is coming up. The assistant lists the events on your site and, on Growth and Full, links to your gift-voucher page, so a present chosen in a chat is still bought from you.

- Every tool is read-only: it never makes a booking, never places an order and never takes a payment. The guest completes each one on the restaurant's own website.
- No guest details are read or returned. Restaurant-written text is marked as information to show the guest, never as instructions to the assistant.
- Allergen and dietary details are given exactly as the restaurant publishes them, with a reminder to confirm with the restaurant.
What the assistant hands the guest to
Every link from an assistant opens a part of your TableSpark site, so the guest, the booking and the order stay with you.

Questions owners ask
What owners ask before they switch it on: how it works, which plan carries it, and what changes for the team.
Do I need to set anything up?
No. Publishing your TableSpark site is all it takes. Your menu, hours, special dates and table times reach assistants from the same data your website shows, and a change you publish reaches assistants within a minute.
Can I take my restaurant out of AI assistants?
Yes. In Settings, then SEO, switch off List my restaurant in AI assistants and save. Once your site is published with the switch off, assistants no longer show your restaurant in search or details.
Does the assistant make the booking or take the payment?
No. The assistant finds the restaurant, reads the menu and checks times. The guest books, orders and pays on your own TableSpark website, at 0% TableSpark commission, and the booking or order lands in your Inbox and Orders screen like any other.
Which assistants can use it?
Any assistant that supports remote MCP servers over Streamable HTTP, including Claude, ChatGPT, Claude Code, VS Code, Cursor and Gemini CLI. The setup steps for each are in [Connect it yourself](#connect).
What does the assistant see about my guests?
Nothing. The server reads public restaurant information only: the details already on your website. It never reads bookings, orders or guest records.
What about allergens?
The assistant gives dietary labels and allergens exactly as you publish them on your menu, and reminds every guest with an allergy to confirm with you before they book or order.
Put your restaurant where guests ask
Build your TableSpark site free, publish it, and assistants can find your menu, your hours and your tables.
- Bookings, online orders and payments land in one place.
- Till, kitchen screen and cash-up on the same login.
- Guest records, email and loyalty that bring people back.
