The ten questions every Memphis inbox gets, and how to answer them once
A barbecue joint, a barbershop, a church office and a distributor in Memphis get different customers but many of the same questions. This page lists the ten that come up constantly, then shows how a unified inbox and an assistant trained on your own answers keep up with them.
- Messenger, Instagram DMs and website chat in one inbox
- Answers taken from what you wrote, in the tone you picked
- Tables and appointments booked in the chat from real open times

Ten questions
What people here ask before they show up
Write each answer once in the knowledge base. After that the assistant uses your wording on every channel connected to the inbox.
- 1. Are you open Sunday? Sunday hours differ for a lot of local businesses, especially around church schedules. Enter them clearly, including holidays.
- 2. Can I get a table for twelve? Group reservations work with a capacity per time slot, so the system only offers times that fit the whole party.
- 3. Wet or dry? Menu details like rib style, sides and what sells out early belong in your product entries.
- 4. Where do I park near Beale? Visitors downtown ask this constantly. One entry saves you typing it again every weekend.
- 5. Do you take walk-ins? Say how walk-ins work. Barbers can mix them with bookings by adding walk-ins to the calendar by hand.
- 6. How much is a lineup? Share prices you are happy to publish. Leave the rest as "depends, let us look" and the assistant will say so.
- 7. Can you ship this? Orders and payments stay in your own online store or phone line. The assistant can explain how to order and point people there.
- 8. What time is service? Church offices get this every week. Put service times, parking and the kids' program in the knowledge base.
- 9. Do you deliver to Southaven or Germantown? List your service area by name so the answer is a clean yes or no.
- 10. Can I talk to a person? Always yes. Handoff keywords pass the conversation to you, and if the visitor accepts live chat, you get an SMS and an email.

A sample conversation written for this page, not a real guest. The available times come from the restaurant's reservation calendar.
A river city of trucks, music and Sunday dinners
Memphis sits on the Mississippi at a crossroads of river, rail, highway and air freight, which makes logistics and distribution a big part of local work, with plenty of night and weekend shifts. Music tourism brings visitors to Beale Street, Graceland and the studios, and barbecue brings them back. Midtown around Cooper-Young and Overton Square, South Main downtown and East Memphis each have their own regulars.
Faith and community life are close to the center of the week here. Church Facebook groups, neighborhood pages and word of mouth carry a lot of weight, which is why Facebook often matters as much as Instagram for local businesses.
For a posting rhythm, keep it simple: a weekend post on Thursday for visitors, a Sunday hours or menu post for locals, and a photo of real work midweek on Instagram. With AYDUKE you schedule the week at once to your page, Facebook groups, Instagram and your Google Business Profile.
Hiring a Memphis marketing firm, or answering these yourself
AYDUKE is software, not an agency. It does not create your content. It handles the routine that often gets outsourced so you can keep it in-house.
Where a firm helps
Brand design, photography, video and paid ads. If you work with one already, they can keep planning content and use the same panel.

When the assistant answers and when it hands over
| Kind of question | Assistant answers from | Goes to you when |
|---|---|---|
| Hours, parking, location | Your general info entries | Something changed today and you have not updated it |
| Menu, prices, stock | Product entries or your store catalog | The item is not listed |
| Booking a table or chair | Your real calendar and capacity | The request is outside your rules, such as a party larger than capacity |
| Complaints, refunds, special requests | Nothing; it does not decide these | Always, through handoff |

Frequently asked questions
Will guests get a text before their reservation?
No. In the US, guests receive confirmation and reminder emails with a link to view or cancel. The restaurant gets new-booking alerts by SMS and email.
Can our church schedule posts to several Facebook groups at once?
Yes. Facebook group posting is built in, and one post can go to your page and your groups on the same schedule.
Our shop closes early on game days or for bad weather. How do we update everyone?
Update the hours entry so the assistant answers correctly, and schedule a short post to Facebook, Instagram and your Google profile in one step.
Is AYDUKE a Memphis company?
No. It is remote software from a company based in the United Kingdom, with no office in Tennessee. You can reach the team through the contact page.
