Key Takeaways
- Scenario 823 is oyster / raw-bar wait auto-reply — not dry-age AGE, hotel breakfast BRK, prix-fixe FIRE, staff-meal MEAL, late-night NIGHT, kids-party CAKE, last-call LAST, brunch SEAT, allergy NUTOK, food-truck HERE, private dining, wine flights, patio weather, bakery tickets, crew COVER, loyalty POINTS, delivery DELAY, catering, or ghost brands.
- A “raw bar in 12 minutes — reply SHELL” text is counter logistics. A “join the oyster club” list is marketing. Split SIMs.
- SHELL / LATE / SKIP keywords belong on the raw-bar Android. Never bot the reservation-app OTP phone.
- Priced by devices and SMS send volume. You use your own phone and operator SMS credit. Free is 1 / 300 / 300. Developer is 25,000 SMS per year.
- Cap “still coming?” loops. Each outbound spends operator credit.
- REST inbound fields live in Developer Center — not a CodeCanyon oyster plugin. MCP, if you use it, is only a REST wrapper.
Summary
Scenario 823 is oyster / raw-bar wait auto-reply. The counter owns the shuck clock. The Android texts SHELL when seats open. Priced by devices and SMS send volume. You use your own phone and operator SMS credit.
If STOP on “raw bar in 12 minutes” also kills the oyster-club list because you stored one dump, you will lose regulars who still walk in for a dozen.
Raw-bar wait
Bind SHELL to walk-ins still in the counter queue. Auto-reply and STOP · restaurant templates. Inbound: Developer Center. Industry context: GSMA.
