An AI phone service can take reservation requests and enquiries without pulling the team away from what they are doing every single time. ## What Can Be Captured - Name and phone number - Date and time - Number of guests - Occasion or special requests - Need for a callback The AI can clearly communicate that a reservation will only be confirmed once the team has reviewed it. ## Why This Helps Fewer interruptions mean a calmer service. At the same time, fewer reservation requests get lost. ## A Sensible Starting Point The first workflow should capture reservation requests and general enquiries. From there, you can decide which requests are confirmed automatically and which are forwarded to the team.
