Reservations line for a restaurant
Takes bookings, answers menu and dietary questions and handles changes during service, when nobody can get to the phone.
The problem
The phone rings most during service, exactly when staff are busiest. Unanswered calls are lost tables, and interrupted staff mean slower service.
How it works
- Answers the reservations line in the restaurant's own style
- Books, changes and cancels tables in the reservations system
- Answers questions on the menu, dietary options, parking and corkage
- Handles callers in other languages, useful for visitors
- Passes large group and event enquiries to the manager
What it connects to
- CallerHi, do you have a table for four on Saturday at 7?
- AgentLet me check. I have 6.45 or 8.15 on Saturday for four. Would one of those work?
- Caller6.45. One of us is gluten free, is that OK?
- AgentAbsolutely, most of the menu can be made gluten free and it's marked on the menu. I'll note it on the booking. Can I take a name and mobile?
- CallerBen, 027 555 0199.
- AgentThanks Ben, you're booked for four at 6.45 on Saturday. A confirmation text is on its way.
