Case study · Hospitality

A coffee shop that never misses a booking lead.

Snapdragon Coffee added a 24/7 AI chatbox to their existing site — handling customer questions and routing booking-ready leads, with full transcripts, straight to the owner's inbox.

The challenge

The site's chat box was effectively offline. Only the owner had access to the Wix site, and with a shop to run there was no time to answer messages while they were still warm. Booking and catering questions arrived at all hours, sat unanswered, and went cold — with no record of what was even asked.

What we built
  • A 24/7 AI chatboxon the shop's existing Wix site, trained on hours, menu, and booking policies.

  • An n8n automationthat captures contact details and the full transcript, then routes booking-ready leads to the owner's inbox.

  • A human hand-offfor anything the assistant shouldn't answer — so nothing sensitive is guessed at.

The result

The chatbox handles about ten conversations a week on its own, and every booking-ready lead lands in the owner's inbox with the full context attached — no missed overnight inquiries, and no new staff hours to run it.

Running in production

The chatbox runs on Snapdragon's existing Wix site — no rebuild, no migration, no new platform for the owner to learn.
