AI Receptionist for Restaurants

During dinner rush, nobody has time to answer the phone. Every unanswered call is a lost reservation or takeout order.

Hosts are seating guests, servers are running food, and managers are putting out fires — the phone is an afterthought.

Reservation no-shows cost restaurants $150–$500 per empty table. Without automated confirmations, no-show rates hit 15–20%.

Catering and private event inquiries are high-value but time-consuming. They need dedicated attention your staff can’t give mid-service.

Books tables based on party size, time, and availability. Handles special requests like patio seating or high chairs.

Answers questions about your menu, daily specials, dietary accommodations, and operating hours.

Provides information about takeout options, delivery radius, and online ordering links.

Sends SMS confirmations and reminders before every reservation. Guests confirm or cancel with a text reply.

Captures details for catering requests, private dining, and large party bookings. Routes to your events coordinator.

When you’re fully booked, adds callers to the waitlist and notifies them when a table opens up.

A party of 8 calls to book a Saturday dinner reservation during your Friday rush — your AI books the table and sends a confirmation.
