Fill Every Table
With AI-Powered Bookings

Handle reservations, confirmations, and enquiries around the clock. Reduce no-shows and maximise covers with intelligent booking management.

Your 24/7 Reservations Team

Reservations come in around the clock — late-night impulse bookings, early-morning function planning. AnswR answers every call with party size, dietary requirements, special occasion notes, and seating preferences, books straight into your calendar, and routes large group enquiries to your functions manager rather than booking blindly. Allergy details get flagged for the kitchen.

FAQ

Hospitality bookings — common questions

Can AI handle restaurant and venue bookings?
Yes. AnswR takes restaurant reservations, function enquiries, and event bookings. The AI confirms party size, timing, allergies, and special occasion notes, books directly into your calendar, and sends both the customer and venue an SMS confirmation.
Does AnswR handle large group and function bookings?
Yes. For functions above your standard table size, AnswR captures the requirements — group size, date, food preferences, beverage package interest, AV needs — and flags it for follow-up by your functions manager rather than booking automatically.
What happens to calls outside business hours?
AnswR answers calls 24 hours a day. Outside your configured business hours, the AI follows your policy — emergency transfers to your mobile, urgent message capture with SMS to the owner, or a polite callback promise that puts the customer at the top of your morning queue. You configure this once and it runs automatically.
Will my customers know they are speaking to an AI?
Most customers do not notice. AnswR uses regionally accurate accents — Australian, New Zealand, or Irish — and natural conversational tone. You can configure the AI to disclose that it is automated if you prefer transparency; many operators choose this and find it does not affect booking rates.
How much does an AI receptionist for small business cost?
AnswR plans start at $99 per month for 200 minutes of inbound calls. Pro at $199 covers 500 minutes plus 75 outbound appointment confirmations, suitable for businesses doing 3-5 jobs per day. Business at $399 covers 1,500 minutes and 200 confirmations for higher-volume operators. A 7-day free trial is available on every plan.
How long does AnswR take to set up?
Most businesses are live within 10-15 minutes. You connect a phone number, choose a voice that matches your region, plug in your CRM or calendar if you use one, and AnswR starts answering. There is no installation, no contracts, and the 7-day free trial requires no card details until you decide to continue.
