Telegram Bot for Restaurants: Handle Orders and Questions Automatically

You run a restaurant with a loyal local following. Customers keep asking the same questions in your Telegram group: 'What is today's special?' 'Are you open on Monday?' 'Do you deliver?' Your staff answers the same things ten times a day. An AI bot handles it all.
