Your phone answered every time. Every day.

Reservaii connects to your existing UK phone number — mobile, landline, or VoIP. When a guest calls, the AI answers immediately.

1

Guest calls your restaurant

Your existing UK phone number stays the same. When it rings, Reservaii's AI answers instantly with a warm, natural greeting using your restaurant's name.

2

AI checks live availability

The AI confirms party size, date and time, captures the guest's name and number, and handles special requests. All in a natural back-and-forth conversation.

3

Booking confirmed automatically

The reservation is created instantly. The guest receives a confirmation text or email. Your team sees the booking appear in the dashboard in real time.

4

Reminders reduce no-shows

Automated reminders sent 24 hours and 2 hours before the booking with a simple cancellation link. No-shows drop by up to 57% with reminders alone.

The UK restaurant phone problem

UK restaurants face the same phone problem as everywhere else — amplified. Service hours in London and other major cities often run from noon through midnight. During both lunch and dinner service, the phone rings at the worst possible moment. The kitchen is in full flow, the floor is busy, and there is nobody available to take a booking call.

After service, when guests call to book for next week, there is nobody there at all. Voicemail pickup rates for restaurant calls are low — most guests hang up and try a competitor. The booking you lost never shows up in your data. You never know it was lost.

Reservaii's AI receptionist fills this gap. It answers your UK phone number at any hour, in any scenario, and completes the booking. The missed call problem stops.

Cost comparison for UK restaurants

Hiring a dedicated phone receptionist for a UK restaurant costs £25,000–£35,000 per year in salary alone, plus employer National Insurance contributions, pension, holiday pay, and sick leave. They work standard hours — not evenings, not weekends, not bank holidays.

Reservaii's AI receptionist costs from £39/month and is available 24/7, every day of the year. It handles multiple calls simultaneously with no busy signal. For UK independent restaurants operating on tight margins, this is not a technology question. The economics are straightforward.

Works with UK booking platforms

Reservaii works as a complete standalone booking system — AI phone answering, online booking widget, table management, and reminders all in one platform. You do not need a separate booking system.

For restaurants already using ResDiary, OpenTable UK, or another platform, Reservaii can work as an AI phone add-on. Check which platforms we connect to →
