Credits

What a credit is, how many a conversation costs, top-up packs, and the low-balance warning.


Credits are what power customer conversations with the AI waiter. Menus, dishes, and imports are yours to build freely; credits are spent when customers actually chat. Manage them under Settings → Credits.

How credits work

  • Customer conversations draw from your monthly credit allowance.
  • Your plan includes a monthly allowance that resets each billing cycle.
  • Top-up packs are one-time purchases that never expire.
  • Top-ups are only used after your monthly allowance runs down.
  • tamr emails you at 80% of your monthly allowance, so you can top up before a service.

Top-up packs

Buy a pack any time. Larger packs cost less per conversation.

Usage

The credits page shows a running ledger: your monthly grants, your top-up purchases, and what has been used, so you can see where credits are going.

Keep a small buffer before a rush

A busy service uses credits faster. If a big weekend is coming, top up ahead of time so the waiter never goes quiet mid-shift.

FAQ

What happens when I run out mid-service?

Buy a top-up pack and the waiter resumes immediately. This is why a small standing buffer is worth it.

Do unused monthly credits roll over?

The monthly allowance resets each cycle. Top-up credits, which you buy separately, do not expire.

Does browsing the menu cost credits?

No. Only conversations with the AI waiter draw down credits.
