AI receptionist for restaurants & cafés
The phone rings hardest during the rush — exactly when your hosts and staff can’t pick up. An AI host takes reservations and answers questions so your team can focus on guests.
The problem
- Calls during service go unanswered
- Staff repeat hours, parking and menu answers all day
- Large-party and catering leads get lost
- No-shows leave tables empty
Calls your AI receptionist handles
- Reservations and waitlist management
- Hours, parking, menu and allergy questions
- Large party, private event and catering inquiries
- Takeout and delivery questions
- Reservation confirmations and reminders
