A Saturday 7:05 p.m. call, handled while your host seats a six-top

It's 7:05 on a Saturday and a caller wants a table for six for an anniversary — tonight. Your host is walking a party to the patio, and that call would normally ring out. SunoVoice answers on the first ring, checks the calendar you connected, offers 8:15 or 8:45, and books the 8:15 slot under the guest's name with a note that one diner has a shellfish allergy. It texts the confirmation before the call ends. When the caller then asks whether the private room fits twenty for a rehearsal dinner, the agent captures the date and headcount for your manager to call back. The table gets seated, and the private-dining lead doesn't evaporate.

Answers straight from your menu, transfers when a human should decide

Restaurant phone questions have real consequences: is the bolognese made with pork, does the patio allow dogs, is the kitchen open until eleven on Fridays. SunoVoice answers from a knowledge base you control — upload your menu, allergen chart, and hours, then update it when a dish is 86'd or the fall menu drops. It never takes card numbers; for takeout it texts callers your online-ordering link, so payment stays in the system you already use. Delivery drivers, purveyors, and the guest who insists on the owner get transferred to a staff phone you choose. Every call is recorded and transcribed, so Monday morning you can read exactly what Saturday's callers asked for and spot the catering inquiries worth a callback.

Frequently asked questions

We manage our book in OpenTable or Resy — can the AI still handle reservation calls?+

SunoVoice books directly onto a calendar you connect — Google Calendar, Outlook, or Cal.com — so it can seat parties in real time if that's how you run the book. If reservations live in OpenTable or Resy, the agent can text callers your booking link by SMS, answer party-size and policy questions from your knowledge base, or transfer the caller to the host stand.

Can it take takeout orders over the phone, and does it handle payment?+

No card numbers, ever — payment stays off the phone entirely. The agent captures the takeout or catering request with the caller's details, texts your online-ordering link so the guest pays through the system you already use, or transfers the call to staff when the kitchen needs to confirm timing. Every order call is transcribed, so nothing gets lost in the rush.

Our menu changes weekly and dishes get 86'd mid-service — how does it stay accurate?+

It answers only from the knowledge base you maintain: menu, allergen chart, hours, happy-hour times, parking. When you 86 a dish or launch a seasonal menu, update the knowledge base and the very next call uses the new information. It won't guess at ingredients or prices — if something isn't documented, it offers to transfer the caller to your staff.

What happens on Valentine's Day or Mother's Day, when the phone rings nonstop?+

Those are exactly the nights reservation calls ring out. SunoVoice answers around the clock, so callers aren't dumped to voicemail while your host stand is buried. It books open slots straight onto your calendar, texts confirmations, and captures large-party inquiries for a callback. Billing is by plan minutes, not per call, so a holiday surge doesn't add surprise fees.
