Loop Desk is an always-on business workspace that takes incoming signal (email, forms, feeds, notes) and turns it into briefs, watch items, and next actions.

Does Loop Desk send emails on my behalf?

Loop Desk can draft responses, but nothing sends until you approve and explicitly trigger it. The approval boundary is fundamental.

What signal sources does Loop Desk support?

Email, RSS/Atom feeds, form submissions, manual notes, and webhooks. The desk treats all sources equally in its processing loop.

Will Loop Desk know my restaurant / hospitality business on day 1?

Yes — the Restaurant / hospitality onboarding template pre-loads 4 memory entries (brand voice, decision rules, red-flag lessons specific to restaurant / hospitality) and 1 sample signal so the first AI cycle has substance instead of staring at an empty queue.

What gets pre-loaded with the Restaurant / hospitality template?

The template seeds your workspace with industry-specific memory entries (preferences and lessons covering brand voice, decision rules, red-flag thresholds, and operator preferences specific to restaurant / hospitality) plus at least one sample signal so the first cycle produces real AI output. Every entry is editable or deletable from the dashboard memory panel.

Can I edit or delete the pre-loaded entries?

Yes — every memory entry and sample signal seeded from the template is fully editable from the dashboard memory and signal panels. Nothing is permanent. The template is just a starting point that saves your team the week-2 teaching cost of explaining your business to the desk from scratch.

What if I don't want to use a template?

Pick the "Other / custom" template at signup and skip the preset entirely. You can teach the desk manually from the dashboard via the "Teach the desk" form, or let it accumulate context organically across the first dozen cycles. The templates are an acceleration, not a requirement.

How does Loop Desk's pricing compare to per-cycle AI tools for restaurant / hospitality?

Loop Desk uses a flat-fee subscription model regardless of cycle count, distinct from competitors like Notion Custom Agents (which moved to $10/1,000 cycle credits in May 2026) or HubSpot Breeze (which uses outcome-based pricing at $0.50/resolved conversation). For restaurant / hospitality businesses where AI cycle volume is unpredictable, the flat-fee model with optional daily cost caps eliminates budget anxiety from variable AI billing.

When did the Restaurant / hospitality template ship?

The Restaurant / hospitality onboarding template shipped in rev 167 on 2026-05-07 as part of Loop Desk's public release cadence. We add new vertical templates regularly — see the Loop Desk changelog for the full release history, and the roadmap for verticals planned next.

What gets pre-loaded

preferenceimportance 9/10
Guest communication — warm, brief, never apologise twice
All guest-facing copy (reservation confirmations, waitlist updates, review responses) reads warm and brief. On a complaint, apologise once concretely, name what went wrong, name what changes — never repeat the apology three different ways. Empty repetition reads as defensiveness, not care.
preferenceimportance 8/10
Reservation policy — 15-minute grace, then release
Hold reserved tables 15 minutes past the booking time, then release to the waitlist. Soft-text the original party once at minute 10. Surface a watch item if no-show rate (party didn't arrive, didn't text) exceeds 6% of bookings on any single night.
lessonimportance 9/10
Review red flag — three 4-star or lower in a 7-day window
Review patterns matter more than individual reviews. Three 4-star or lower public reviews in any rolling 7-day window is a reliable early signal of a service or kitchen drift; surface a watch item before the 7-day window closes so the manager can pattern-match (specific server, specific dish, specific shift) rather than read each review in isolation.
lessonimportance 7/10
Supplier red flag — invoice variance > 8% MoM
A supplier whose monthly invoice on a steady-mix order varies more than 8% month-over-month is either gaming portion size, raising prices silently, or routing inferior product. Surface a watch item to revisit quote terms or test a backup supplier; surfacing late means menu margin is already slipping.

Sample signal seeded on day 1

feedbackpriority normal

Sample guest feedback — slow Saturday service

A regular guest party of 4 noted on Saturday the second-course wait was 35 minutes after starters. Worth flagging to the FOH lead and surfacing a watch item if mid-meal wait complaints recur on more than one weekend night in a month.

Ready to get going?

Pick this template at signup and your workspace lands with the brand voice, decision rules, and red-flag lessons above already taught — so the first cycle has substance. You can edit or delete every entry later. None of it is permanent.
