Questions from cafes & coffee shops.
Will the receptionist sound like a robot to my guests?
No. Your AI receptionist speaks in a natural voice you choose, keeps answers short, and reacts the way a person would ("Oh, congratulations, that's a big one!"). Callers are told once, in the greeting, that they're talking to an AI, and the receptionist never pretends to be a person.
Can the receptionist take large catering orders?
Yes. Your AI receptionist captures order size, pickup or delivery time, payment preference, and contact info, and sends the full order to you.
What about calls when we're closed or slammed?
Your AI receptionist answers every call, at any hour and in the middle of a rush. The receptionist books into the times you have open and answers questions about your hours and what you offer from the details you've provided. Anything else, the receptionist takes a message and sends it to you straight away.
Does the receptionist handle meeting space bookings?
Yes. If you rent out a back room or patio for meetings, the AI receptionist checks availability and holds the booking.
What about seasonal hour changes?
Update your hours anytime from the dashboard. Your AI receptionist always quotes current hours to callers.
Can the AI receptionist transfer urgent calls to us?
Yes. If a caller asks for a manager or has an urgent issue, the AI receptionist puts the call through to you, or takes a message and sends it to you straight away.
