What it does

How Agent IA Vocal helps.

Reservation booking

Guests call any time and the AI books their reservation — including party size, special requests, and dietary needs.

Takeout order capture

AI captures takeout orders accurately and routes them to your POS system or kitchen staff.

Catering inquiries

Large party and catering inquiries are captured with full details and routed to your events coordinator.

Hours & location

Callers asking about hours, parking, and location get instant answers — no staff time wasted.

Private dining booking

Private room bookings are captured and sent to your events team with full party and budget details.

Reservation reminders

AI sends SMS reminders before reservations — reducing no-shows significantly.

Why it works for restaurant & food.

01/ 02

How Agent IA Vocal connects to your reservation and POS systems

  • Live two-way sync with OpenTable, Resy, SevenRooms, Tock
  • Takeout orders pushed to Toast, Square, Clover POS

  • Special requests, allergies, and occasions captured
  • SMS confirmation and reminder branded with your restaurant
  • Private event inquiries routed to your events coordinator with full intake
02/ 02

Reservations that actually show up

No-shows kill restaurants. Most operations rely on the host calling to confirm — which doesn't scale and gets skipped on busy nights. Agent IA Vocal automates voice and SMS confirmations, captures cancellations, and offers slots to your waitlist within seconds.

  • Automated confirmation calls and SMS 48h and 4h before
  • Easy cancellation by phone or SMS
  • Cancellation slots immediately offered to waitlist
  • Optional credit-card hold for high-risk slots
  • Per-shift no-show reporting
  • Waitlist captured live when reservations are full

"Takeout used to tie up our line cooks every Friday. Now the AI takes the order, fires it to Toast, and we just expedite. We doubled takeout volume on weekends without adding kitchen staff."

"Our private events business was a leaky bucket — inquiries would come in, my coordinator was at a tasting, and the prospect would book a different venue by the next morning. The AI captures the brief instantly and books the site visit. We've added $180K in events bookings in six months."
