Why Your Restaurant Needs an AI Answering Service
During the dinner rush, your team is busy serving guests, not answering phones. But every missed call means lost reservations, lost orders, and lost revenue. An AI Receptionist answers every call for you, books tables, takes orders, and captures every opportunity, so you stop leaving money on the table.
Marlie answers every call instantly, handling reservations, answering questions about hours and menu items, and taking takeout orders without pulling your staff off the floor.
Create a calm, focused atmosphere in your dining room while ensuring every caller gets a friendly, helpful response.
