About
- Palona is an AI agent platform for restaurants that answers inbound calls, texts, emails and web chat, takes orders and routes them into existing POS and reservation systems, and qualifies catering and large-order inquiries into structured leads.
- It also reports on demand and conversion across locations and connects to existing security cameras to flag operations problems for managers.
- The company states it is the AI operating layer for physical businesses, proven first in restaurants.
What it helps with
- Missed calls and voicemail during peak service turn into lost orders
- High-value catering and large-order inquiries go cold before staff follow up
- Staff time is tied to the phone instead of guests on the floor
- Operational problems such as line length, wait time and cleanliness go unseen until they cost sales
- Demand and conversion gaps are not visible by location, daypart or channel
