Why restaurants miss so many calls
A table booked elsewhere is gone, and a party of twelve that could not get through is a whole evening's covers.
When the phone rings out
- during service, when nobody can reach the phone
- while closed in the afternoon, when people book
- December, when party bookings flood in
What they are ringing about
- booking a table for tonight
- large groups and private dining
- allergies and dietary requirements
What that costs a single site
£7,100
a month, on conservative assumptions
About 55 missed calls a week. Assume only a third would have become customers, that is roughly 18 a week, and one customer is worth £90 to a restaurant. Change any of those to your own figures and the answer stays uncomfortable.
Built around how a restaurant actually works
Takes bookings with covers, time and name
Handles large group and private dining enquiries
Records allergies accurately
Answers through service and while you are closed
It tells callers what it is
It says it is an assistant when it picks up. It gives no advice it is not qualified to give, and anything on your escalation list stops the conversation and reaches you straight away. For a restaurant that matters more than the clever bits, because the calls you cannot afford to get wrong are the ones you most need answered.
What restaurants ask us
Can it take a booking during service?
That is when most booking calls come and when nobody can pick up. It takes them all, at once, without anyone leaving the pass.
Will it record allergies correctly?
It repeats them back and puts them on the booking, which is safer than a note shouted across a busy service.
What about December?
Party bookings arrive in a six week window and are worth many times a normal cover. Missing those calls is the most expensive thing a restaurant does all year.
