Never Lose a Reservation
to a Busy Signal Again.
Dinner rush is when your phones ring most — and when your staff are least able to answer them. Every missed call is $340 walking out the door. Your AI front desk answers every reservation call, reads the specials, books the table, and sends automatic reminders. Even at 9 PM on a Friday.
The Problem
Your Busiest Hours Are When You Lose the Most Money.
Friday 7:30 PM. Every server is running. The kitchen is in full swing. Your host is seating a party of 6 and has two more tables to flag. The phone rings. And rings. And rings.
The people calling? They're a party of 4 who wanted to come in tonight. After 3 rings with no answer, they call the restaurant two blocks over. $340 gone. Three times a week. Every week. $53,000 per year evaporating because your staff can't be in two places at once during dinner rush.
And that's just the missed reservations you can count. You'll never know how many people called, got voicemail, and just moved on — no trace in your system, no number to call back.
The solution isn't hiring another host. It's giving your existing host a tireless AI partner who handles the phone while they handle the room.
Saturday evenings are your most profitable — and your busiest — hours to be missing calls. The AI covers exactly those hours.
AI-sent reminders 2 hours before a reservation keep tables turning — instead of holding a spot empty all night for a guest who isn't coming.
How It Works
From Ringing Phone to Confirmed Reservation
Your AI host handles the complete reservation cycle — booking, confirmation, reminder, and cancellation — without taking your staff off the floor.
By the Numbers
The Revenue Math Is Impossible to Ignore
Three missed calls a week sounds small. At $340 per cover, it's your manager's salary walking out the door.
Beyond Reservations
Events, Large Parties & Catering Inquiries
Your AI doesn't just take reservations. It handles your full front-of-house phone workload — including high-value event and catering inquiries.
-
Upcoming EventsAI is briefed on your wine dinners, prix-fixe events, and special nights. Callers asking "what's coming up?" get an accurate answer and an invitation to reserve their spot.
-
Prix-Fixe MenusTasting menus, holiday specials, and seasonal prix-fixe offerings are all in the AI's knowledge base. It describes them naturally, mentions price and course count, and books accordingly.
-
Private Dining RoomWhen callers ask about large parties or private events, the AI confirms room availability and party size range, then routes the inquiry to your events coordinator with full details captured.
-
Special OccasionsBirthdays, anniversaries, proposals — the AI notes occasion type and passes it to your team so the floor is prepped. "I'll make sure the kitchen knows it's a birthday celebration."
"For parties of 15 or more, we have a beautiful private dining room that seats up to 40 guests with a dedicated server. Let me collect a few details so our events coordinator can reach out to you today with availability and menu options. May I get your name and a callback number?"
The AI captures the full inquiry — date, party size, occasion, dietary restrictions, budget range — and creates a priority task for your catering team. No more large party calls disappearing into voicemail.

Common Questions
You Have Questions. We Have Answers.
What reservation systems does this integrate with?
We integrate directly with OpenTable, Resy, Yelp Reservations, Tock, SevenRooms, and Eat App. We also support custom systems via API or webhook. Bookings appear in your system in real time — the AI never double-books because it checks availability live before confirming any reservation.
How does the AI know our specials each day?
You (or your team) update the specials through a simple SMS interface — just text "Tonight's specials: [list]" and the AI updates immediately. You can also set up a standing weekly menu that rarely changes, and update just the specials. Takes 90 seconds.
What happens when someone calls to complain?
The AI is trained to de-escalate gracefully: "I'm so sorry to hear that — I want to make sure the right person addresses this personally. Let me connect you with our manager." It never argues, never makes promises, and always transfers complaints to a human. Complaint calls are flagged as high priority in your dashboard.
Can it handle takeout orders?
The Starter and Pro plans focus on reservations and inquiry routing. For takeout order-taking, we offer a separate AI Order Desk module that integrates with your POS. Talk to us about bundling both — many restaurants use both systems together.
What if we're fully booked and someone calls?
The AI tells them warmly: "We're fully booked for that evening, but I'd love to put you on our waitlist — we do get cancellations." It captures their contact info and party details, adds them to your waitlist in the reservation system, and sends an automatic notification if a slot opens. No caller leaves empty-handed.
How quickly can we go live?
48–72 hours from signup. We handle integration with your reservation system, brief the AI on your menu and specials, set up your custom voice, and run test reservations through the system. You get a 20-minute walkthrough and then it's live. Setup is included, no additional fees.
