{"faqs":[{"answer":"The AI uses your calendar, rules, and knowledge base to qualify and answer routine questions instantly. For nuanced requests — like checking specific barrel-aged availability or custom event menus — it gathers details and books a call with your team, handing off full context so no information is lost.","question":"How does the AI Receptionist handle complex brewpub questions like keg availability or Mug Club tiers?"},{"answer":"Yes. Pipeline Recovery works with your existing CRM — no platform switch required. Our AI systems reach out to past members and event inquirers, qualify interest, and book comeback conversations. You only pay for the conversations that actually return.","question":"Can Worqd reactivate our lapsed Mug Club members without migrating off our current CRM?"},{"answer":"Paid campaigns, outreach, and AI response can start producing inquiries within days of launch. Creative Sprint delivers up to 30 platform-ready videos from one brief. SEO and answer-engine visibility compound over months. We find the bottleneck first, then move fast.","question":"What's the typical timeline to launch AI follow-up and creative for a brewpub?"},{"answer":"Generic services take messages; our AI SDR qualifies and books directly into your calendar using your rules — 24/7, with 4–7x conversion lift over unmanaged follow-up at 70–lower cost per qualified conversation than a traditional SDR team. Plus, creative and ads are included in one integrated plan.","question":"How is this different from hiring a part-time host or using a generic answering service?"},{"answer":"Yes. Local SEO & Paid Ads is one of our focused services — we optimize your Google Business Profile, manage reviews, and run geo-targeted campaigns so nearby searchers find your taproom, taplist, and events first. AI Search Visibility also gets you cited in AI answers like Google AI Overviews.","question":"Does Worqd handle local SEO and Google Maps visibility for taproom discovery?"}],"steps":[{"step":"1","title":"Find the Bottleneck","gradient":"from-orange-500 to-red-500","description":"We audit your buyer journey — offer, channels, response process, and data — to find where growth is stuck before touching anything."},{"step":"2","title":"Build & Launch Fast","gradient":"from-yellow-500 to-orange-500","description":"Priority channels, creative, outreach, and AI response go live.

With 3,552 U.S. brewpubs competing for the same private events and Mug Club sign-ups (a 2.5% decline year over year), a voicemail greeting is often the difference between a booked barrel room and a lost booking.

Without systematic reactivation, that list goes stale while you pay more each month to acquire new taproom traffic. With craft beer retail dollar sales up 3% to $28.8 billion but production volume down 4%, and rising ingredient costs squeezing margins, recovering revenue from contacts you already own is no longer optional."}],"quickWins":["Route after-hours catering and private event inquiries to instant AI qualification — every request answered in under 60 seconds, even at 10 p.m. on a Friday.","Reactivate your lapsed Mug Club and tour sign-up list with Pipeline Recovery — you only pay for conversations that come back."],"subheadline":"Worqd's AI Receptionist answers every call, text, and form submission in under 60 seconds — qualifying leads and booking tours or events while your team focuses on the pour.","problemTitle":"The Hidden Costs Killing Brewpub Growth","testimonials":[{"quote":"Our catering and private event calls always came in after the taproom closed, and we'd find voicemails the next morning — half the time too late.
