Phone calls during service
"Do you have a table at 8?" and "Is the kitchen gluten-free friendly?" calls interrupt the busiest hours.
For restaurants
A restaurant website that fills tables and answers the phone questions.
Guests check the menu, the hours and whether they can get a table, usually on a phone, often minutes before deciding. A restaurant website should load fast, show the food, and take the booking.
Where restaurants lose inquiries
Private dining that slips away
Large-party and event inquiries are worth the most and are the easiest to lose in an inbox.
Menus that are out of date or a PDF
A menu that's slow to open on a phone, or wrong, sends people to a review site to decide instead.
What we build for restaurants
- Website
- A fast, readable menu you can update, your story, and photography that does the food justice.
- AI concierge
- Answers hours, parking, dress code and allergy questions from the information you approve.
- Booking
- Reservations through the platform you already use, and a proper private-dining inquiry flow.
- Follow-up
- Event inquiry follow-ups and a thank-you that invites a review after a visit.
Questions the concierge answers for you
Examples of what customers ask. It answers from the information you approve and hands anything else to your team.
- “Can you do a gluten-free tasting menu?”
- “Do you take reservations for 10 on a Saturday?”
- “Is there parking nearby?”
Works with the tools you already use
Restaurants often take reservations through OpenTable, Resy, Tock or SevenRooms. We connect to the one you use.
See the style in action: Osteria Vela. An invented restaurant in our live demo, built to show the reservation and inquiry flow. It’s a concept, not a client.
The parts of the system
Questions
Can we update the menu ourselves?
Yes. Menu changes are quick for you to make, and small updates are included in the monthly plan if you'd rather we did them.
Will the concierge get allergy answers right?
It only answers from the allergen information you approve, and it tells guests to confirm with staff for serious allergies.
We already use OpenTable. Does this replace it?
No. The website books through your existing platform, so your table management stays the same.
