Meet ASKZO.
The AI that acts,
not just advises.
ASKZO is the AI engine inside Runzo. It submits catering quotes, responds to reviews, drafts your marketing, watches your costs, and helps customers plan their events — around the clock, within the limits you set.
What ASKZO does for restaurants
QuoteZO
A catering request comes in. ASKZO checks it against your menu, notice time and daily capacity and answers with a quote at your prices. Inside the limits you set it sends on its own and texts your team what went out; anything outside them waits for your yes.
Autopilot inside your limits, approval for the rest
BidZO
When a customer asks several caterers to bid, BidZO answers for you with your own dishes, tray sizes and prices, plus a discount up to the cap you choose. A dish you don't make, or a bigger discount, goes to an approver first.
Your discount cap, never more
FeedZO
Tray counts come from the platform's tray calculator, not a guess: give the guest count and dishes and FeedZO sizes each tray so the order feeds everyone.
Uses your own tray sizes and servings
VoiceZO
A customer calls in a catering order. Your staff just talk it through, or type it. VoiceZO matches every dish to your catering menu, asks for anything missing, reads the order back, and fills in the order form for your team to submit.
The form fills while you're still on the call
RepZO
New Google reviews get a reply in your voice. Ratings at or above the star level you pick are answered on their own; the rest are drafted and wait for your approval.
Works with your existing Google Business profile
MailZO
Ask for a post, email or text and MailZO writes it from your real menu. Each Monday it checks next week's catering bookings; if they're well under your usual, it drafts a campaign and tells you it's ready. You decide what gets sent.
Nothing goes out without you
LedgZO
Ask about your catering customers, orders and revenue and get answers from your own data. Each morning LedgZO texts you if a supplier price jumped, scanned bills are waiting for review, or a bank account stopped syncing.
One morning text, only when there's something new
What ASKZO does for customers
ASKZO for customers
One assistant for everything a customer wants: order from a restaurant, plan a meal to a budget, book a table, or check on an order — on Runzo or on WhatsApp.
Real menus, real prices, real open tables
MatchZO
Tell ASKZO about your event — cuisine, guest count, date and place — and MatchZO ranks the caterers that can take it, best first, with a short reason for each: the cuisine, how close they are, and whether they have the notice and room that day.
Only caterers who can actually do your date
Gatherings
Create an event, invite guests and track RSVPs in one place. When it's time to order, the confirmed headcount is right there, so you order for the people who are actually coming.
Confirmed headcount before you order
Questions about ASKZO
Is ASKZO a chatbot?
No. ASKZO is an agent — it takes action, not just advice. When a catering request comes in, ASKZO can write and send the quote itself, within the limits you set. Same with bids and review replies. The difference between a chatbot and an agent is that an agent completes tasks.
Can I override or control what ASKZO does?
Always. Each agent has its own switch and limits — order size, guest count, discount, the star rating it may answer on its own. Inside those limits it acts and texts you what it did; outside them it asks an approver first. You always have the last word.
How does ASKZO learn my restaurant's tone and style?
ASKZO works from your own menu, prices and settings, and writes in a warm, plain voice you can review. Anything that goes out without you is kept inside the limits you set.
What data does ASKZO use for finance alerts?
Your own Runzo data: the supplier bills you scan, your vendor prices, your bank connection and your orders. Each morning it checks for price jumps from a supplier, bills waiting for review and a bank account that stopped syncing, and texts you only when there's something new.
What happens if ASKZO makes a mistake?
Every action ASKZO takes is logged, and anything outside your limits waits for a person. If something looks wrong, turn the agent off in Settings and tell us — we review every reported case.
Does ASKZO work for customers too?
Yes. Customers get their own ASKZO to order food, plan a meal to a budget, find the caterers that fit an event, book a table and check on an order. It's the same AI, serving both sides of the marketplace.
Ready to put your restaurant on autopilot?
