The Nicky's Famous Food Bar website we built, shown on a laptop and a phone

Our work

Nicky's Famous Food Bar

A pub kitchen and a roadside cabin, one cook, two homes. We run the whole digital side: the website, the till, and every way customers order.

  • Website designed, built and hosted by us, menus kept up to date
  • A breakfast order form businesses download, fill in and WhatsApp back
  • A point-of-sale system we are designing and building for the kitchen
  • Uber Eats, Just Eat and the other delivery apps, being set up now

For restaurants, cafés and takeaways

One menu. Every way people order.

Your till, your website and the delivery apps, set up to match, and kept matching every time your menu changes.

01

A Till Built for Your Kitchen

A point-of-sale system designed around how you actually serve: your menu and extras, orders straight to the kitchen, and the day's takings at a glance.

02

On Every Delivery App

Uber Eats, Glovo and the other delivery apps: accounts opened, menus and photos loaded, hours and delivery areas set, so you're ready to take orders.

03

One Menu, Kept in Step

When a price or a dish changes, we update the till, the website and every app, so nobody orders something you stopped making last week.

04

Orders by WhatsApp

Customers and local businesses send their order by WhatsApp, even as a photo of a paper form. Rita reads it, totals it and sends it to the kitchen for you to confirm.

Quoted per restaurant. Built first for Nicky's Famous Food Bar, where we're setting it up now.

Rita looks after your customers. Nico looks after everything behind the scenes: your inbox, your money, your suppliers, your staff and your paperwork. He works in the background, all day. You keep the decisions.

If it happens every week, follows the same steps, and you could teach it to a new starter in ten minutes, Nico can probably do it.

Rita, your multilingual AI receptionist

Your customers call. Answered by Rita

An AI receptionist on the number you already have. She answers in the caller's language, takes the details, and messages you what was said before you've seen the missed call.

The call you miss is the booking you lose. You're mid-service, the caller speaks Dutch, or it's ten at night. Rita picks up at any hour, every day, including holidays.

One receptionist. Seven languages.

Based in Vilamoura. Built for small businesses.

We are a small team of builders and writers. We use AI for the heavy lifting because it lets us give a twelve-table restaurant the kind of service that used to need an agency retainer. Every word that goes out under your name is read by a person first.

Seen & Heard is the small business arm of JDAH Ventures Limited.

WhereVilamoura, Algarve.
LanguageWe work with you in English. Rita answers your callers in seven languages.
TermsMonthly. Setup fees are one-off, stated before you sign, and paid half when you order and half when you approve.
InvoicesIssued by an EU company, with VAT shown.

Good questions to ask us

I already have a website. Can you just do the marketing, or just the phone?

Yes. Each service stands on its own, at the same price whether you take one or all four.

Can you really build a website in 48 hours?

Yes. We build on a proven setup and do the writing for you. Within 48 hours of getting your photos and details, you see a first version on a private link, on your phone and your computer. Changes are included until you are happy, and the site goes live once you have said yes.

When do I pay?

Half the setup fee when you order, so we can start the same day. The other half only when you approve the site. Your monthly fee starts the day it goes live.

What happens to my site if I stop?

The domain is yours and stays yours. On the Flexible option, give 30 days' notice and we hand over the content and the site files. On the 12-month plan, the same applies once the 12 months are paid.

Will people know Rita is an AI?

Yes. Rita says she is an AI assistant in the first sentence of every call, and in her first message on WhatsApp, Instagram or Facebook, in the customer's language. Anyone who asks for a person is passed to you or called back, your choice.

Does Rita confirm bookings herself?

Only when she is connected to your booking system and it accepts the booking. Otherwise she takes the request, tells the customer you will confirm, and sends you the details straight away.

Can Rita answer WhatsApp and email too?

Yes, with Rita Messages. She answers WhatsApp messages, customer emails, and Instagram and Facebook comments and direct messages, from the same approved facts as on the phone. Anything she can't answer comes to you. We connect your number to Meta's WhatsApp Business Platform and handle Meta's business verification for you. Meta charges a small fee for some messages, which we pass on at cost.

What does "AI as a service" actually mean?

We pick one job that costs you time, such as chasing invoices or sending reminders, and set Nico, our AI back office, up to do it with the tools you already use. A person checks it before it touches your customers, you approve anything that matters, and we keep it running for one monthly fee.

Do you speak Portuguese?

Our team works in English. Rita answers in seven languages, Portuguese included, and your social posts go out in English and Portuguese.

Twenty minutes, your phone, no slides.

Tell us what the business does and what is slipping. We will tell you which of the four fixes it, and what it costs.
