Frequently Asked Questions
Will customers know it's AI?
Most callers can't tell. The voice is warm, natural, and conversational — not a robotic phone tree. If a caller asks, the AI will be transparent. But the experience is so smooth that most people just think they're talking to a friendly host.
Do I need new phone equipment?
Nope. You keep your existing phone number. Just set up call forwarding (takes 2 minutes), and your AI host starts answering. No hardware, no app, no IT.
What if someone has a complaint or emergency?
The AI detects negative sentiment and complex situations automatically. It transfers those calls to you or your manager instantly — no runaround for the caller.
Can it actually take reservations?
Yes — name, party size, date, time. It confirms via text message to the guest. No double-bookings. You see every reservation in your dashboard.
How long does setup take?
Most restaurants are live in under 24 hours. You share your menu and hours, we train your AI host, you test it, and you're done.
What if my menu or hours change?
Update your dashboard and your AI host knows instantly. Seasonal menu? Holiday hours? Daily specials? All reflected in real time.
What about the free website?
Every plan includes a custom restaurant website with your menu, hours, reviews, and online ordering. We build it for you — no extra charge, no commissions on orders.
Can I cancel anytime?
Absolutely. No contracts, no cancellation fees, no guilt trip. If you don't love it, cancel from your dashboard. We're confident you'll stay because the results speak for themselves.
