Two updates from the restaurant niche I've been working:
Win #1 — Sold an AI-built menu. Closed and delivered a digital multilingual menu for a restaurant client, built with AI. First paid deliverable in the pocket.
Win #2 — Same client, bigger scope. Because they were happy, they came back and asked me to build them a reservation management system + a voice agent to handle bookings. Ran my first audit on their current setup, and I'm sending over the report today.
Biggest lesson so far: land the small win, deliver clean, and the upsell comes to you. One good menu turned into a full system + voice agent conversation.
