How Kubbly works with what you have
Kubbly reads guest records and order history from Toast, Square or OpenTable, and its AI CRM assistant plans a monthly calendar around your promotions, local events and holidays. You approve the templates once, then Kubbly sends from your restaurant's verified name and logo. When a guest replies, BrandRep answers and completes the reservation or order in that same system.
Case study: at Melting Pot, a guest asks for a table in a branded conversation and Kubbly BrandRep completes the reservation in OpenTable.
Coming next to Kubbly: WhatsApp, a developer API, and Apple Messages for Business. Today Kubbly sends through RCS for Business, SMS and email.
