Neat AI
Systems that speak in the house voice.
Neat AI is the second practice at Drinks By Neat: guest and staff systems for hotels and restaurants that already have a point of view. Same doctrine as the bar work — scoped before it starts, trained on your knowledge, handed over so the house owns it.
Guest Communication
The inbox, answered
Most rooms lose guests in the gap between a message and a reply. Hours, menus, amenities, dietary notes, “are you open on Monday” — the questions are predictable, and the answers already exist in someone’s head or a buried PDF.
Guest Communication puts those answers in the house voice, on the channels guests already use. It knows when to escalate: a complaint, a VIP, anything a bot should not close. The standard is the same as a well-run bar — consistent, fast, and never improvising the allergen story.
Booking & Inquiry
Holds, routes, follow-ups
Inquiries die in inboxes. A table for six on Saturday, a private dining request, a room-plus-dinner package — if the reply is slow, the guest books elsewhere and nobody logs why.
This module captures the ask, routes it to the right desk, and follows up on holds. It does not replace a reservations system. It stops the leak around it.
Staff Knowledge Copilot
Specs at the shoulder
The best bartender on the team is also the wiki. Specs, allergen notes, 86s, the way this house builds a martini — it lives in one person’s head until that person calls out.
The copilot is trained on your specs, SOPs, and standards, not a generic cocktail encyclopedia. New hires get the house answer, not a guess. It is the same instinct as a spec book, built for a phone in the well rather than a binder in the office.
Hotel Upsell
The right offer, once
Most upsell is a banner. Guests learn to ignore it. A useful offer is timed to the stay — a table when they have none, a late checkout when the flight is actually late, an F&B note that sounds like the concierge, not the CRM.
Hotel Upsell is written against your inventory and your voice. It suggests; it does not nag. If the offer is not defensible at the desk, it does not go out.
Loyalty & Feedback
Before the review
The complaint you hear is cheaper than the one you read. Post-stay and post-serve loops catch the miss while there is still a chance to fix it — and notice the regular before they drift.
This is not a points program. It is a disciplined follow-up: who came, what they asked, whether they would come back, and who on the floor should know.
Analytics
A GM can read it in five minutes
What guests asked. What staff needed to look up. Where the menu and the service actually leak. The report is short on purpose — a weekly readout, not a dashboard nobody opens.
Analytics is only useful if it changes a decision: a spec that confuses the team, a question the website should already answer, a day-part that is quietly dying. The numbers sit next to the floor, not above it.
