What happens after an inquiry?

Change the sample request to see how a complete inquiry and one missing details could be handled.

Sample event inquiry

Synthetic example. Nothing is submitted, saved, emailed, or booked. This demo uses simple rules; it does not call an AI service.

Example owner view

Ready for owner review

Private dinner · 24 guests · dietary details provided

  1. Intake organizes the event type, guest count, and dietary information.
  2. The owner receives a summary and reviews availability.
  3. A consultation or quote is prepared for owner approval.
  4. An approved deposit path and follow-up can be connected to the selected tools.

A live implementation is separately scoped, connected, and tested with your business.

AI can help summarize free-text requests or prepare response drafts where useful. Fixed requirements and statuses use ordinary rules. Your team approves quotes, availability, refunds, and exceptions.
Clear service boundaries

Start small. Connect what matters.

Common questions

A practical fit for your business.

Do you serve all of Virginia?

Yes. Proactive Digital is based in Chesterfield and works with food businesses across Virginia, including Northern Virginia, Hampton Roads, Central Virginia, the Shenandoah Valley, and Southwest Virginia. Discovery and project reviews can be handled remotely.

Do I need to replace my current website?

We review what you already use before recommending changes. A focused landing page, improved form, or better handoff may be enough. Platform constraints and integrations are checked during scoping.

Will AI quote prices or confirm bookings for me?

Your team controls final prices, availability, and customer commitments. Where helpful, AI can assist with summaries and drafts for review. The exact workflow is agreed before implementation.

What if my business needs more inquiries first?

We can start with your message, service pages, Google presence, and inquiry pathway. An elaborate follow-up system is not useful if the first priority is helping suitable customers find you.
