Automate Your AI Restaurant Reservations and Never Miss a Table
When the dinner rush hits, your staff shouldn't have to choose between serving a table and answering the phone. Let SkipCalls handle your restaurant AI answering so you can focus on the kitchen, ensuring every caller gets booked without your team breaking their flow.
The Cost of a Ringing Phone in a Busy Kitchen
A missed call during Friday night service isn't just a nuisance; it's a $150 party of four walking to the bistro down the street. Between the noise of the kitchen and the rush of the dining room, your staff loses hours every week answering basic questions instead of providing service.
- Missing calls during the lunch rush leads to immediate revenue loss as hungry customers call your competitors instead.
- Interrupting a server mid-order to answer a booking question degrades the experience for guests currently in your seats.
- Taking manual reservations on paper or sticky notes leads to double-bookings and lost customer data.
- Paying a dedicated receptionist $40,000 a year just to manage a phone line is an overhead most small eateries cannot sustain.
Your Digital Host for Restaurant Phone Automation
We provide an intelligent voice assistant that integrates with your existing calendar to handle automated table booking. It greets your guests, qualifies their needs, and secures their spot in seconds.
Saves Time
Free your servers from the phone so they can focus on table turnover and upselling drinks rather than checking the book.
Increases Revenue
Capture every reservation request, even during the 6:00 PM rush when your hands are too full to pick up the handset.
Works 24/7
Accept bookings at 2 AM when a customer is planning their weekend, without needing anyone on the clock to answer.
Reservation AI
Seamlessly handles group sizes, timing preferences, and special requests like high chairs or allergies with natural conversation.
How Automated Table Booking Works
A simple, natural conversation that gets guests through the door faster than a manual entry.
The Guest Calls
A customer calls your restaurant to book a table for four this Friday night at 7:00 PM.
AI Greets Them
The AI answers immediately, saying, 'Thanks for calling. How many people are in your party and what time would you like to join us?'
Availability Check
The AI checks your Google Calendar and says, 'I have 7:00 PM available. Shall I put you down for that time?'
Instant Confirmation
The AI records their name and number, sends you a summary, and adds the booking directly to your schedule.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can the AI handle dietary restrictions and allergies?
Yes, the reservation AI is trained to ask about allergies or special seating needs and includes these specific notes in your instant call summary.
How does it know if the restaurant is already full?
The system syncs directly with your digital calendar; if you block off a time slot or reach your capacity, the AI knows not to offer those times to callers.
What if a caller has a complex question the AI can't answer?
If the AI cannot answer a specific query, it takes a detailed message and sends you a transcript so you can call back when you have a free moment.
Does this replace my front-of-house host?
It acts as a support system, handling the repetitive booking calls so your host can focus on greeting guests at the door and managing the dining room floor.
Is there a per-booking fee or hidden cost?
No, you pay one flat rate of $99 per year for unlimited calls and bookings, regardless of how many tables you fill or how busy your season gets.
