Meet ASKZO.
The AI that acts,
not just advises.
ASKZO is the AI engine inside Runzo. It submits catering quotes, responds to reviews, runs your marketing, monitors your finances, and helps customers plan their events — automatically, around the clock.
What ASKZO does for restaurants
QuoteZO
A catering request comes in. ASKZO reads the brief, checks your menu, calculates food quantities and pricing, then submits a complete quote — no human intervention needed. The restaurant gets notified after it's done.
Average response time: under 3 minutes
FeedZO
Input guest count, meal type, and cuisine. FeedZO calculates exactly how much food to order per dish, accounts for dietary preferences, and formats it for both the quote and the kitchen.
Works for groups from 10 to 500+
RepZO
Every new review — 1 star or 5 — gets a personalized, on-brand response drafted within minutes. ASKZO learns your tone from existing responses and never sounds robotic.
Works with your existing Google Business profile
MailZO
ASKZO monitors your booking calendar and order trends. Slow week ahead? MailZO drafts and sends a targeted promo to your loyalty list before you've even noticed the dip.
Avg open rate: 34% (industry avg: 21%)

ASKZO creates Facebook and Instagram ad campaigns targeting your local market. Budget, creative, targeting, scheduling — automated. Weekly performance report delivered to your dashboard.
Managed ad spend, no agency fees
LedgZO

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 doesn't suggest a response for you to send. It writes and submits the quote itself. Same with reviews, campaigns, and alerts. The difference between a chatbot and an agent is that an agent completes tasks.
Can I override or control what ASKZO does?
Always. You can run ASKZO in auto-pilot mode (it acts and notifies you) or approval mode (it drafts, you confirm). Every action is logged. If ASKZO submits a quote you don't like, you can retract it from your dashboard. You always have the last word.
How does ASKZO learn my restaurant's tone and style?
ASKZO reads your existing menu descriptions, past review responses, and any brand guidelines you upload. It adapts over time based on what you approve or reject. Most restaurants find it sounds natural within the first week.
What data does ASKZO use for finance alerts?
You connect your bank account (read-only access) or upload statements. ASKZO monitors revenue, expenses, margins, labor costs, and transaction patterns. It learns your business's normal range and flags anomalies — a spike in food costs, unusual transactions, or a week where labor is trending over budget.
What happens if ASKZO makes a mistake?
Every action ASKZO takes is logged and reversible. If it submits a quote you don't like, you can retract it from the dashboard. We're building toward higher and higher reliability — but you always have the last word.
Does ASKZO work for customers too?
Yes. On the customer side, ASKZO curates catering menus, calculates portions, and adjusts food orders as event RSVPs change. It's the same AI, serving both sides of the marketplace.
