The Real Problems of Restaurant Service

When your team is in full service, no one can answer the phone. Every missed call is an empty table that could be generating revenue.

Calls During Service

During peak lunch or dinner service, no one can drop what they're doing to answer the phone. 50% of calls to restaurants go unanswered during peak hours, just when the most customers want to make reservations.

Unmanaged No-Shows

Customers who reserve and do not show up. Without an automatic confirmation system, no-shows can account for 15% to 20% of reservations. Empty tables that no one else could occupy.

Reservations Through Multiple Channels

Phone, WhatsApp, Instagram, email, reservation platforms... Managing all channels manually leads to double bookings, confusion, and oversold or underutilized tables.

Outside Business Hours = Lost Reservation

Many customers decide where to dine in the afternoon when your restaurant is still closed. If they call at 4 PM and there is no answer, they book at the restaurant that does respond.

The Solution for Your Restaurant

An AI Receptionist That Understands Hospitality

AMAI Voice for restaurants is not an answering machine. It is an intelligent voice agent that manages reservations, reduces no-shows, and serves your customers as your best maître would.

Automatic Reservation Management

The AI knows your capacity, table shifts, service hours, and available tables. It schedules reservations with the correct duration based on the number of diners, avoiding overlaps and optimizing table turnover.

Anti No-Show Confirmation and Reminder

The AI calls or sends a message to the customer 24 hours before the reservation to confirm attendance. If the customer cancels, the table is automatically freed and offered to the next person on the waiting list. Reduces no-shows by up to 40%.

Optimized Table Shifts

For services with high demand, the AI manages intelligent table shifts: first shift at 1 PM, second at 3 PM, for example. It informs the customer of available times and maximizes your room occupancy.

Menu and Allergen Information

When a customer calls asking about the menu, daily specials, vegan options, or allergens, the AI responds instantly with accurate and updated information. Zero interruptions to your service team.

Frequently Asked Questions About AI Voice in Restaurants

We address the most common questions from hospitality professionals evaluating the implementation of an AI receptionist.

Can the AI provide information about allergens and dietary options on the menu?
Yes. The AI receptionist has full access to your menu and can provide information about allergens (gluten, lactose, nuts, seafood, etc.), vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free options, or any adaptations you offer. When a customer calls to reserve and mentions allergies or restrictions, the AI records it in the reservation so your kitchen knows in advance.
Can it manage reservations for large groups or private events?
Yes. For large groups (more than 8 diners) or private events, the AI collects all necessary data: number of people, date, preferred time, type of event (birthday, corporate, celebration), special menu, and estimated budget. If the reservation requires manual confirmation from the manager, the AI manages it and contacts the customer with the confirmation.
How does it handle cancellations and the waiting list?
When a customer cancels, the AI automatically frees the table and contacts the next person on the waiting list to offer them the spot. It also manages cancellations with advance notice policy: if you set a minimum of 24 hours to cancel without penalty, the AI informs the customer of the conditions. This drastically reduces no-shows.
Does it work with tourists who speak other languages?
Yes. AMAI's AI receptionist can assist in Spanish, English, French, German, Italian, and Portuguese natively. It automatically detects the customer's language and responds accordingly. Ideal for restaurants in tourist areas, hotels with restaurants, or venues with international clientele.
Does it integrate with my POS or reservation software?
Yes. AMAI Voice integrates with major reservation systems (CoverManager, TheFork, Resy, OpenTable) and hospitality POS systems (Agora, Revo, Last.app, Lightspeed). If your system has an API, integration is direct. If you don't use reservation software, the AI works with its own system that you can consult from any device.
