FAQs
Frequently asked questions
Can AI take restaurant bookings without annoying guests?
Yes. The assistant handles routine bookings and common questions instantly, then hands anything unusual to your team, so guests get a fast reply and your staff stay focused on service.
Will it actually reduce no-shows?
It sends timed reminders and can request a deposit for larger parties, which cuts no-shows and lets you release tables quickly when plans change.
Do I need to replace my booking system?
No. We connect to OpenTable, ResDiary or whatever you already use, so the automation works around your current setup rather than forcing a change.
