AI Receptionist for
Restaurants
It's 6:45pm on a Saturday. Your phone rings with a reservation request. Your host is seating tables, your server is running food, and nobody can answer. That caller books somewhere else.

An AI Receptionist Built for Restaurants
Custom-built for your restaurant — your menu, your reservation policy, your hours, and how you want every call handled from dinner reservations to catering inquiries.
Every Reservation Call Answered — Even During Dinner Rush
Your AI answers every reservation call instantly — during service, after close, and on weekends — books the table, and sends SMS confirmations automatically. Your host stays focused on the guests in front of them.
Automated Reminders Cut No-Shows by Up to 66%
At $50-$200 per cover, no-shows are expensive. The AI sends automated SMS reminders before every reservation — dropping no-show rates from 18% to as low as 6% and recovering covers that would otherwise go empty.
Hours, Menus, Parking Answered Instantly — All Night
Hours, menu options, allergens, parking, dress code, specials — the AI answers your most common questions instantly so your staff can focus on the guests already in the restaurant, not the ones still calling.
Catering Inquiries Captured and Qualified Automatically
Catering calls during service get lost constantly. The AI captures every catering inquiry — event date, guest count, menu preferences, budget — and delivers a fully qualified lead to your catering coordinator.
Takes Reservations After Close for Tomorrow and Beyond
Guests plan ahead. They call after your closing time to book for next weekend. Your AI takes reservations 24/7 — capturing future covers that your voicemail would have turned away.
Takeout Order Calls Handled and Routed to the Kitchen
Takeout calls during a busy service can overwhelm your front-of-house. The AI handles basic order calls, confirms pickup times, and routes them appropriately — keeping your kitchen informed without tying up your staff.
Restaurants Lose Covers Every Night During Their Busiest Hours.
The phone rings hardest exactly when you're least able to answer it — during dinner service when every staff member is already at capacity.
Your Staff Can't Answer Calls During Service
6pm to 9pm is your highest revenue window — and your highest call volume. Your host is seating, your servers are running food, and your manager is everywhere at once. Reservation calls go unanswered and those guests book somewhere else.
Empty Tables From No-Shows Drain Revenue Every Week
At 18% average no-show rate without reminders, a restaurant doing 150 reservations per month loses 27 covers to no-shows. At $65 average table spend, that's $1,755 in empty tables every single month — gone without a single call from your staff.
Staff Answer the Same Questions Dozens of Times a Night
"What time do you close?" "Do you have outdoor seating?" "Is there parking?" "Are you open on Mondays?" Your team answers these same questions constantly — burning time that should be spent on the guests in front of them.

AI Receptionist for Restaurants — FAQ
- Can it book reservations directly into our reservation system?Yes. The AI integrates with your existing reservation system, books tables in real time, sends SMS confirmation to guests, and handles modifications and cancellations — without your host needing to touch the phone.
- How does it reduce no-shows?The AI sends automated SMS reminders before every reservation — typically 24-48 hours ahead and again the day of. Real-world data shows this drops no-show rates from 18% to around 6% — recovering significant revenue from tables that would have otherwise gone empty.
- Can it handle catering inquiries?Yes. The AI captures catering inquiry details — event date, guest count, menu preferences, budget, contact info — and delivers a qualified lead to your catering coordinator. No more catering calls getting lost during Friday dinner service.
- What about after-hours calls?The AI takes reservations 24/7 — including after you've closed for the night. Guests who call at 10:30pm to book for next Saturday get an immediate response and a confirmed reservation instead of voicemail.
- How much does it cost?Pricing starts at $1,000 per month based on your call volume. Given that restaurants lose $300-$1,800 in a single dinner rush from missed calls — and another $1,755/month or more from no-shows — most restaurants find the system pays for itself within the first week of peak service.
