Questions from private chefs.
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 capture dietary restrictions?
Yes. Your AI receptionist asks about allergies, dietary preferences, and restrictions for every guest count, so you arrive with a clear menu direction.
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 quote pricing?
Yes. You configure per-person and package pricing. Your AI receptionist quotes accurately based on guest count and service type.
Can the receptionist book with short notice?
Yes. Your AI receptionist checks your calendar for same-week availability and books last-minute dinners when you can accommodate them.
Will AlwaysRespond work with my contract workflow?
AlwaysRespond works with Google Calendar and can send each call, booking and new lead to your contract and booking tools through Zapier or a webhook, if that software connects to Zapier.
