Why Choose Us
Let's be honest, running a restaurant means dealing with unpredictable peaks—like Friday night frenzy or weekend brunch rushes. Here's the thing: our AI voice agents are custom-crafted to fit your exact workflow, not some off-the-shelf bot that fumbles accents or menu lingo. We train them on your specials, allergens, and seating charts, so they sound like a friendly host who's been with you for years. You're probably thinking, 'Will it handle my spicy fusion twists?' Absolutely—we integrate directly with your POS and reservation systems for seamless handoffs. No more dropped balls; just reliable, always-on service that keeps customers coming back.
What Makes Us Different:
Capture Every Craving, Boost Your Bottom Line
Never Miss a Reservation or Order Again
Never Miss a Reservation or Order Again: With 24/7 instant responses, your AI agent books tables via integrated POS systems and takes detailed orders—even when you're closed for those midnight cravings. Restaurants using our system see a 40% uptick in after-hours bookings within the first quarter, turning potential lost revenue—like those 11 PM pizza runs or late-night burrito deliveries—into steady income without hiring extra staff or extending kitchen hours.
Skyrocket Customer Satisfaction During Peak Times
Skyrocket Customer Satisfaction During Peak Times: Short, punchy interactions keep wait times under 30 seconds, with the AI suggesting pairings like wine with pasta. Picture this: a family calling for a birthday dinner gets seated instantly, complete with kid-friendly menu tweaks. We've helped spots reduce complaint calls by 60% in six months, as customers rave about the 'always-ready' service that feels personal and handles allergies seamlessly.
Streamline Operations and Cut Overhead Costs
Streamline Operations and Cut Overhead Costs: Automate routine inquiries like 'What's on the gluten-free menu?' or 'Can you cater my office lunch with vegan options?' This frees your team to focus on plating perfection and table turns. One client slashed their phone bill by 70% while handling 2x the call volume in peak season, all without the fatigue of overtime shifts or extra line cooks on standby.
What Clients Say
"Before AIQ Labs, we'd lose at least 20 reservations a week to unanswered calls after 9 PM, especially for weekend brunch spots. Now, our agent handles everything from vegan pasta options to large party bookings for 10+ seamlessly—it's like having an extra host who never sleeps. Reservations are up 28% in just two months, and we've nailed those spontaneous date-night tables."
Maria Gonzalez
Owner, Luna's Trattoria Italian Eatery
"The dinner rush was killing us; phones ringing off the hook while servers juggled plates and expeditor duties. Their custom voice agent qualifies callers for party size and books directly into our OpenTable system. We've cut wait times to under a minute and boosted walk-ins by 15% over three months—no more frantic voicemails piling up during Friday night chaos."
Jamal Carter
General Manager, Spice Route Indian Bistro
"Catering inquiries used to slip through on weekends when the office was empty, missing out on event buffets. This AI picks up every time, even suggesting pairings from our current farm-to-table specials like herb-roasted chicken. Landed a $5K corporate luncheon last quarter that we would've missed—game-changer for our small team handling seasonal surges."

Why We're Different
What's Included
Common Questions
How does the AI voice agent handle complex menu questions, like custom modifications?
Our agents are trained on your full menu, including variations like 'extra spicy' or 'no dairy.' For instance, if a caller asks about gluten-free pasta options, it pulls from your integrated system to suggest alternatives and confirm ingredients. We customize this during setup, using your actual recipes and FAQs, so responses feel spot-on. Unlike basic bots, ours learns from call patterns—say, if buffalo wings are popular, it proactively mentions them. This cuts down on errors, with clients reporting 90% accuracy on first tries. Setup takes about a week, and we test with simulated calls to ensure it nails your lingo.
Will this work for my small takeout spot, or is it only for big restaurants?
Absolutely, it's perfect for small operations too. We tailored one for a family-run taco truck that was missing calls during lunch rushes. The agent answers in seconds, takes orders, and even suggests pairings like 'add guac for $2?' It integrates with simple tools like your phone line and QuickBooks, handling 50+ calls a day without extra hires. You're probably thinking it's overkill, but it scales down—no massive setup fees. We focus on your workflow, like quick curbside pickup confirmations, boosting orders by 25% for similar spots. It's all custom, so it fits whether you're a 20-seat bistro or a food truck empire.
What happens if the AI can't answer a caller's question?
We design it with smart escalation: If something's unclear, like a rare allergy query, the agent politely says, 'Let me get our expert on this,' and texts or calls your team instantly with the details. For example, a client with a sushi spot had it route pescatarian customizations to the manager seamlessly. No awkward loops—just a smooth handoff. Post-call, you get a transcript in your dashboard for follow-up. This ensures 95% resolution on the spot, and the rest turns into quick wins. It's like having a vigilant sous-chef watching the phones, always ready to pass the baton without dropping the ball.
How secure is customer data, especially with food allergies involved?
Security is non-negotiable in food service. We encrypt all calls and data end-to-end, compliant with standards like GDPR and HIPAA where relevant for health info. For allergies, the agent only shares what's needed and logs it privately in your system—never stored externally without consent. One diner chain we worked with praised how it flagged nut allergies accurately, preventing mishaps. We audit integrations regularly, and you own the data, so no third-party access. Setup includes role-based access, ensuring only your staff sees sensitive details. It's built like a locked walk-in cooler: safe, reliable, and always under your control.
Can I integrate this with my existing reservation software?
Yes, we specialize in deep, two-way integrations. Whether you're on Resy, SevenRooms, or even Google Calendar for bookings, our AI syncs in real-time—checking availability, updating slots, and sending confirmations. Take a busy Italian spot we customized: It pulled live table status and avoided overbooking during holidays. No brittle connections that break; we code it robustly. If you have a custom POS, we adapt. The result? Calls convert to bookings 3x faster, with zero manual entry. We handle the tech, so you focus on the food—it's live in under two weeks, tested for your peak scenarios.
What's the cost, and do I own the system?
We ditch subscription chaos for a one-time build fee tailored to your needs—starting around $5K for basic setups, scaling with features like multi-location support. No monthly rents; you own the AI outright, hosted on your cloud or ours with full access. For a mid-size cafe, this meant paying once and saving $2K yearly on call center costs. Updates? We include initial training and a year of tweaks, then optional support. You're probably thinking it's pricey, but ROI hits fast—many see payback in 3 months via extra reservations. It's an asset for your restaurant, not a recurring bill.
