"The AI maître d’ that never sleeps."
An AI-powered reservation system that answers, books, and manages restaurant reservations — automatically.
Think of it as a digital host that talks to customers, takes details, updates your database, and even sends confirmations — all in real time.
Humans are great at hospitality.
AI is great at not forgetting who booked the 7PM window seat.
Every day, restaurants lose reservations because:
- Staff can’t answer calls fast enough
- Forms go unanswered
- People hate waiting
So this project solves that by building a system that calls the customer within 5 seconds, chats naturally, and books the table instantly.
- Customer submits a form → name, phone, time, party size
- AI instantly calls them using the Telnyx Voice API
- A natural conversation happens — the AI confirms details
- Databases update in real-time (
leads.db+reservations.db) - SMS confirmation sent — all within a minute
