No chasing by hand. From $4,500. ## Your pizzeria delivers on time. Collecting payment always runs late. You run a pizzeria with healthy volume: the oven never stops on a Friday night, delivery goes out on time, regulars keep coming back. But one part of the business almost no one handles with care: collecting on what you already delivered. The corporate client who ordered 20 pizzas for the office and promised to pay end of month. The catering bill that got pushed "to next week." The standing arrangement with the gym next door that pays every two weeks. That money exists, it is invoiced, but you chase it yourself, by hand, whenever you happen to remember. The problem is not that people refuse to pay. The problem is that the payment reminder depends on someone with a hundred things on their plate sitting down to check who owes what and texting each person one by one. And charging late, or with a cold message, can cost you the client. At Catalizadora we build an AI agent on WhatsApp that handles those collections for you, in your brand's voice, without sounding like a bank or a robot. ## What the agent actually does The agent lives in your pizzeria's WhatsApp and works off what you have already invoiced. When an account nears its due date, it sends the reminder. Not a generic one: it knows that Robert from the body shop ordered Tuesday, that the bill is $48, and that he pays by transfer. - **Before the due date:** a friendly nudge, two days out. "Hi Robert, a quick reminder that Tuesday's order comes to $48. Here's the link to pay whenever it's convenient." - **On the due date:** a courteous reminder with a tap-to-pay link ready to go. - **If it slips past:** a follow-up that stays persistent without pressure, escalating tone with judgment, never aggressive. - **When they pay:** the agent confirms, says thanks, and closes the account in your CRM. Every conversation, every promise to pay, every "I'll transfer tomorrow," gets logged. You stop chasing ghosts. ### Friendly collections recover the most In practice, hard collections scare people off. A client who feels harassed pays once and never returns. The agent is built for the opposite: recover your money **and** keep the customer. It speaks with your brand's warmth, offers options, and never forgets a detail. That combination of consistency plus the right tone is exactly what a busy human cannot keep up month after month. ## The numbers: by hand vs. with an agent Take a pizzeria with 40 credit accounts a month (offices, events, standing arrangements). | | Collections by hand | With an AI agent | |---|---|---| | Reminders sent | However many you get to | 100%, on time | | Hours per week | 3-5 chasing payments | Zero | | Accounts that slip | Several each month | None | | Tone | Depends on the day | Always your brand's | | CRM record | Loose notes, memory | Automatic, all of it | We will not promise you an invented recovery percentage; we do not know your business yet. What we do know is that money lost today to a lack of follow-up stops being lost once follow-up is automatic and consistent. ## Why this is not just "automated messages" Anyone can schedule a mass text. That is not this. Blasting all your clients "Don't forget to pay" is the fastest way to annoy the people who already paid and the people who owe nothing. The agent is different because it works case by case: it knows who owes, how much, since when, and it holds a conversation. If the client replies "already paid," it understands, checks it against your record, and closes. If they reply "I can pay Friday," it schedules that and comes back Friday. It is a real conversation, not a blind reminder. ## What's yours stays yours When we work with you, the code, the data, and the infrastructure end up 100% in your name. No locked-in licenses, no endless monthly fees. Operations run as pass-through: you pay hosting and usage tokens (roughly $200 to $400 a month depending on volume), with no markup from us. If you want to take it elsewhere tomorrow, it is yours. Our entry package, MAGIA Solo, costs $4,500 and ships in 15 days. That covers the agent in your voice, wired to your collections and your CRM. If your pizzeria has several locations or you want to fold in point of sale, inventory, and more flows, MAGIA Core ($15,000) is the next step. ## How we start We follow a method we call MAGIA: we map your accounts and how you collect today, design the reminder architecture, generate the agent in your voice, implement it on your WhatsApp, and leave it running on its own. In 15 days you stop chasing payments by hand. If you want to see your own collections running on autopilot, the first step is a conversation. Message us and let **the AI agent on WhatsApp** show you how a reminder that doesn't sound robotic actually feels. Or book directly with us: https://cal.com/pablo-estrada-hlqaql Your oven already works nonstop. Your collections should too. ## Preguntas frecuentes ### Won't the reminders annoy my clients? No. The agent works case by case, not in mass blasts. It speaks with your brand's warmth, offers options, and never harasses. Friendly collections are exactly what recovers the money without losing the customer. ### How much does this cost for my pizzeria? The entry package, MAGIA Solo, costs $4,500 and ships in 15 days. Operations run as pass-through (hosting and tokens), roughly $200 to $400 a month, with no markup from us. ### Does the agent know who owes me and how much? Yes. It works off your already-invoiced accounts: it knows the amount, the due date, and the payment method for each one, and converses accordingly. If a client says they already paid, it verifies and closes. ### Who owns the code when you're done? You do. The code, data, and infrastructure end up 100% in your name. No retainers, no locked-in licenses. If you want to move it elsewhere tomorrow, it's yours. ### Does it work if I have multiple locations? Yes. MAGIA Solo covers one pizzeria with its collections and CRM. For multiple locations or to integrate point of sale and inventory, MAGIA Core ($15,000) wires in more flows. --- Source: https://catalizadora.ai/blog/pizzeria-automated-payment-reminders-friendly-collections Author: Pablo Estrada — AI Catalyst, LLC (catalizadora.ai)
