Questions about catering companies.
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 book tastings?
Yes. Your AI receptionist checks your tasting schedule and books a slot that works for both you and the client.
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.
What about dietary restriction questions?
Your AI receptionist takes down dietary needs, such as vegan, gluten-free or allergies, and includes them in the lead sheet so your team is prepared.
Does the receptionist qualify budget?
Yes. Your AI receptionist asks budget range politely and routes small inquiries differently than $20k+ weddings.
Can the receptionist answer menu questions?
Yes. You add your menus and prices, and the AI receptionist answers from them on the call. Anything you haven't added, the receptionist takes down for you to answer.
