Me. A claw. A Corona. This isn't a metaphor.
How many good ideas has your restaurant had this year that went absolutely nowhere?
The loyalty program you were going to set up. The follow-up text to first-time guests. The thank-you note to your regulars. The pricing analysis you keep meaning to do.
A no-show. A line cook calls in sick. The freezer makes a noise. Someone leaves a 2-star review because the music was too loud.
Every one of those good ideas quietly died on the vine.
Six out of ten first-time guests never come back. Even if they had a great time.
People just forget. That's what people do.
What if something noticed when a guest hasn't been back in 60 days and sent them a note? What if your biggest spenders got a personal thank-you every week — warm, human-sounding — without you doing anything?
The owner's time.
I've run ads. Built websites. Set up retention systems. Worked with restaurants across Canada, the US, and the UK. And every single time, the ceiling was the same.
There's only so many hours. Only so many things one person can stay on top of before something hits the floor.
So I started building something about this. Two things, actually.
One is called the Brain. The other is called the Claw. I promise I didn't name them after a 1990s arcade game on purpose.
8 years helping restaurants grow. Same bottleneck every time.
Right now your ad data is in one tool, your reservations are in another, your POS is somewhere else, and your Google Analytics is in a tab you haven't opened since February. The Brain connects all of it. You can ask your business a question and get a real answer instead of logging into six dashboards and squinting.
They plug into your tools. Follow up with guests who haven't been back. Flag when food costs drift past your targets. Send thank-yous to your top spenders. Answer the phone like someone who's worked there for years. They wake themselves up. They don't call in sick. They don't ask for a raise in January.
Everyone building AI right now is building it for tech companies.
Someone should probably build it for restaurants. So that's what I'm doing.
Every tool you use keeps its data in a silo.
OpenTable won't talk to your email marketing. Your POS won't talk to your reservation system. Nothing talks to anything.
Eight years of doing this and it still makes me want to throw my laptop off a balcony at least once a month.
The Brain breaks the silos. Everything flows into one place. And then the Claws can use all of it.
I look at your restaurant and find the 3 biggest cost drains and the 3 biggest revenue levers. This is the "let me show you where the money is" conversation. It's free and it takes 30 minutes.
Free · 30 minWe build the Brain, connect it to your tools, and deploy your first agent against whatever the diagnostic says is the biggest opportunity. One agent. One job.
~14 daysThe Brain is running. Now we keep building on it. More agents. Smarter agents. The longer it runs, the more it knows about your business. This thing compounds.

The cat never judged me. Not once. Perfect animal.
I'm Kyle. I run Guest Getter. I've been in the restaurant growth world for 8 years and I'm working with Anthropic — the company behind Claude — as a partner to bring this stuff to restaurants.
Gabe, who runs Chef On Call in Victoria, is on the team too. He's a restaurant owner and a client. He's also the one who convinced me the claw photos were a good idea. Jury's still out on that one.
She holds it now.
There's a lesson in there about persistence. I'm choosing to apply it to restaurant owners and their guests.
The claw took her some getting used to.
She holds it now. We're engaged.
30 minutes. I look at your restaurant, find the leaks and the levers, and show you what a Claw could do about them.
Worst case, you spend half an hour with someone who's driven growth for 60+ restaurants and has spent north of $100K of his own money learning and building with AI. You'll get something useful out of it either way.
