Asanka: Restaurant Support Assistant + Leads Admin (concept)

ABDALLAH ADL

Asanka is a scripted chat assistant (keyword matching, browser storage, no LLM) for a sample Accra restaurant, with a staff leads panel. Concept/demo build using sample data.

Problem

Restaurants get the same questions all day on WhatsApp and Instagram, and the valuable ones (group events, corporate lunches) get buried among the routine ones.

What I built

A scripted chat assistant for a sample Accra restaurant that answers FAQs (menu, hours, directions, parking), books tables from free text such as "Friday, 4 people", and captures event enquiries as leads. A staff panel shows leads, transcripts and filters, with CSV export and an "Open WhatsApp" button. Built in vanilla JS with keyword matching and browser storage; there is no LLM or API.

Result

A working concept/demo, from a visitor question to a lead in the staff panel. Sample data only, so no production metrics or client results.

Tools

Vanilla JS, HTML/CSS, keyword matching, localStorage, WhatsApp link.
