Questions from restaurants.
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 reservations?
Yes. Your AI receptionist checks availability, confirms party size and time, and books the reservation directly into your calendar or reservation platform.
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 takeout orders?
Your AI receptionist captures the order, customer name, phone, and pickup time, and you get it on your phone. No more misheard orders during the rush.
Does the receptionist handle catering and event inquiries?
Yes. Your AI receptionist asks for the party size, date, budget and menu preferences, and sends a detailed summary to your events manager.
Can the receptionist speak multiple languages?
Yes. AlwaysRespond answers in 30+ languages, including Spanish, which helps restaurants serving diverse neighborhoods.
