The short answer: from an enquiry in Direct to an automatic invoice: AI replies, CRM and 1C integration for a restaurant or cafe in Astana. What changes: guests come back, aggregator commissions go away.
Three problems of restaurants in Astana
Restaurants and cafes in Astana lose revenue in three places: Direct and WhatsApp enquiries hang at rush hour (in the capital the peak is lunch 13:00-14:00 and evening 19:00-22:00), the guest doesn't return because they weren't remembered, and the business pays 15-30% commission to aggregators (Glovo, Wolt, Kaspi QR) for orders that could be taken directly.
Each of these problems eats revenue but is invisible in reports — it's 'quiet' churn that only becomes noticeable when you count the numbers.
What automation gives: three links
- AI agent on Direct and WhatsApp enquiries. The client writes — AI replies immediately: takes the order, books a table, clarifies details. No enquiry is lost at rush hour.
- Booking and reminders. The guest books a table via a Telegram bot or Direct — the system reminds 2 hours before. Return rate grows, the loyalty programme works automatically.
- 1С integration: automatic invoices. The 1С + Bitrix24 link turns invoice issuing from manual routine into a fully automatic step
One of our HoReCa clients stopped paying aggregator commissions per order by switching order taking to a direct Telegram bot + Kaspi Pay link.
The 'enquiry → booking → invoice' scenario
The guest finds the venue on Instagram → writes to Direct → the AI agent takes the order or books a table → reminds 2 hours before → after the visit the guest asks for the bill → the system generates an invoice via 1С-Bitrix24 automatically and sends it to WhatsApp → the guest pays with Kaspi Pay.
The whole journey — without calls, without a manager on the line, without wasting time on manual operations.
Numbers that change decisions
- Invoices — go out via 1С-Bitrix24 automatically, no manual work;
- Guests — come back thanks to reminders and a loyalty programme;
- Savings — on aggregator commissions when switching to direct order taking;
- immediately — the AI agent's reply speed to an enquiry;
- 24/7 — order taking and booking without days off.

Frequently asked questions
Is this a replacement for aggregators (Glovo, Wolt)?
Not a replacement but an alternative. You can keep aggregators for reach and simultaneously take orders directly through a Telegram bot or AI agent. A direct order gives +15-30% margin due to no commission. Some restaurants fully switch to direct orders and stop paying aggregator commissions.
How much does it cost?
Start — from 20 000 ₸ for a Telegram bot or AI agent. Booking and reminders are included in the base setup. 1С-Bitrix24 integration — from 350 000 ₸. The exact estimate after the free audit (0 ₸) and doesn't change during the project.
