Iskra Consulting

For operators who need more than numbers. A full systems build for your venue.

30+ AI systems running live at Lock 13 Brewpub. We build the same for hospitality businesses like yours.

The Problem

Your best server quit. Your phone rang during service. Nobody answered.

Staff Shortages

40% annual turnover. Always hiring, always training, always losing people.

Missed Calls = Lost Revenue

Every unanswered call is a lost booking. €18,000+ per year, gone.

Untrained Teams

New hires every month. Paper SOPs nobody reads. No time to train properly.

Margins Squeezed

Food, labour, energy — all up. No room for error.

The average pub owner works 65 hours a week. Most of it on tasks AI can do.

The Approach

We don't sell software. We build AI systems.

Three pillars. One outcome: you get your life back.

Understand

We train your team to use AI. Owner to kitchen porter. A platform, not a PDF.

Automate

Custom AI systems for YOUR menu, suppliers, and diary. Live in 2-4 weeks.

Empower

AI runs your operations 24/7. Daily reports. Self-healing systems. You manage the business, not the busywork.

FAQ

Questions you're probably asking.

How long does setup take?
2-4 weeks depending on the scope. Simpler setups are faster. If we're connecting to your booking system, suppliers, and POS it takes a bit longer. But you'll have AI systems working within the first week.
What booking systems do you integrate with?
ResDiary, OpenTable, and SevenRooms today. We're adding more all the time. If you use a different system, let's talk — we've built custom integrations before.
Will the AI sound robotic?
No. Our AI Receptionist has a warm Irish accent and is trained on your venue's specific details — your menu, your hours, your policies.
What if my staff won't use it?
That's why we train them first, not after. Every team member gets a training portal with role-based modules, quizzes, and progress tracking. We don't hand you software and walk away.
Can I try before I commit?
Yes — the assessment is free, and we have a 90-day money-back guarantee on every plan. You have nothing to lose.
Do I need to change my phone number?
No. We set up call forwarding from your existing number to the AI Receptionist. Your customers dial the same number they always have.
What happens if I cancel?
Your data is yours. We can hand over configurations and data exports. There's no lock-in — we earn your business every month by delivering results.
Do you work outside Ireland?
Yes. If you run a hospitality business anywhere in the world, we can help. The AI systems work in any language and integrate with international booking platforms.
