3. How we use your information
Your messages are used to generate automated replies about our restaurant — menu, offers, opening hours, location, and similar customer-service topics. To do this, your message text is processed by our systems and by the AI service providers we use (currently OpenAI and Anthropic) solely to produce a reply. Your messages are not used by us to train AI models. We may also review conversations to improve the quality of the assistant’s answers and to follow up on customer-service issues.
