Component 1
AI Receptionist for rush-hour overflow.
Answers common calls about hours, reservations, waitlist, catering, private events, directions, dietary questions, and large-party requests.
For Phoenix restaurants and food service businesses
Stop losing hungry customers when the phone rings during service.
Restaurant owners do not need another dashboard. They need calls answered, reservations captured, menus accurate, reviews flowing, and repeat customers nudged back at the right time.
$74,880 annual order and reservation leak in the sample report. Sample math: a fictional neighborhood restaurant misses 8 reservations per week at $100 average table value and 20 phone orders per week at $32 average order value. Annual leak: $74,880.
The leak we are targeting
Speed, trust, and follow-up decide who gets the customer.
Restaurants leak revenue in the moments when the team is busiest: lunch rush, dinner rush, private-event calls, delivery confusion, and reservation changes.
DoorDash's 2026 restaurant trends report says 75% of consumers are comfortable using AI for reservations, but only 28% of operators use AI to manage calls and customer service. The same report notes that about 40% of reservation calls can go unanswered.
The fix is not replacing hospitality. It is covering the phone, messages, listings, and follow-up moments that get missed while the team is serving guests.

The 60-second workflow
From missed moment to booked next step. Six steps.
-
Step 1
A guest calls during dinner rush.
The host is seating a party and nobody can answer.
-
Step 2
AI Receptionist handles the basics.
It confirms hours, table size, timing, dietary note, or catering interest.
-
Step 3
The right path opens.
Small reservations get a booking link. Large parties and catering route to a manager.
-
Step 4
Text confirmation goes out.
The guest receives the reservation, event, or follow-up details by SMS.
-
Step 5
Manager gets the useful summary.
No scratch pad, no lost voicemail, no half-heard message.
-
Step 6
Review and repeat flow runs.
Guests get a review request or return-visit prompt after the right event.

Boundaries and guardrails
The system should help the business, not pretend to be the business.
The system does not make health, allergen, or food-safety guarantees. It can route questions to your approved wording or to a human.
Your restaurant controls menus, availability, waitlist rules, event minimums, SMS language, and opt-out handling.
Customer and guest data stays in your operator-of-record tools. We implement the workflow; you own the guest relationship.
FAQ
Questions restaurants usually ask first.
Will this replace my host or manager?
No. It catches the calls and messages they miss while taking care of guests.
Can it take reservations?
Yes, if your booking tool supports it or if we create a simple request-to-book workflow.
Can it answer menu questions?
It can answer approved common questions and route sensitive items, like allergies, to your staff.
What does it cost?
The Time-Back Audit is $497. A founding build is $3,500. Standard builds run $6,500 to $8,500, with managed plans from $750 to $1,500 per month depending on scope.
Can it handle catering or private events?
Yes. That is often the highest-value restaurant use case because the inquiry has a bigger ticket and needs fast follow-up.
Do we need to change POS systems?
No. We start with calls, texts, forms, booking, listings, and reviews. POS integration is optional and depends on your tools.
How soon can this go live?
After the audit, a focused founding build usually takes 2 to 3 weeks if access and menu details are ready.
