An AI receptionist for restaurants that answers during the dinner rush

The phone problem for restaurants

• Hosts can't seat guests and answer the phone at the same time.
• Most calls are the same questions: hours, parking, wait times, menu.
• Large party and catering inquiries are valuable and easy to miss.
• Calls during the rush go unanswered.

Every unanswered call is a customer deciding whether to wait for a callback or call someone else. Most call someone else. An AI receptionist removes that moment entirely.

What an AI receptionist handles for restaurants

• Takes reservation requests and books them where your reservation system allows.
• Answers hours, location, parking, dress code and menu questions.
• Shares allergen and dietary information you approve, and refers details to staff.
• Captures large party, private event and catering inquiries.
• Explains takeout and delivery options you offer.
• Answers in Spanish and other languages.
