The problem
Missed calls are missed revenue.
A guest who hears five rings hangs up and calls the next restaurant on the list. Nobody leaves a voicemail about dinner. Across Europe, a busy restaurant loses around $20,000 a month this way.
- After hours
Your kitchen opens at 17:00. Your guests decide at 10:00.
They call whoever picks up. A closed phone line sends them to the next restaurant on the list.
- Peak hours
Friday, 19:00. Three guests call at once.
One line, one host. Two callers hear a busy tone and hang up. That is two tables you never seat.
- Human moments
Your host stepped away for two minutes.
That was the 12-person birthday booking. Nobody leaves a voicemail about dinner.
Revenue at stake
~$20K
Lost every month*
* what a busy European restaurant loses per month to calls the front desk doesn’t reach in time.
Every day
20
Calls missed daily
After hours, at peak, and in ordinary human moments when the host steps away.
Patience runs out
5 sec
Before they hang up
And dial the next restaurant on the list. They call whoever answers.
With TableTalks
<3 sec
Every call answered
Day, night, and in the Friday rush, with as many callers at once as it takes.
Industry estimates, not a promise. We’ll work out your real numbers on a 20-minute call.
What it does
One phone host. Built to do the whole job.
It doesn’t just answer. It finishes the task the guest called about, then hands you the result.

How it works
Guest calls in. Booking comes out.
Your team is always first in line. TableTalks only takes the calls that would otherwise ring out.
- 01
Rings
The guest dials your usual number. Your staff hears it ring twice, as always.
- 02
Answers
Nobody free, closed, or a second caller? TableTalks picks up in under 3 seconds.
- 03
Books
It checks availability and writes the table or order into your reservation system or POS.
- 04
Confirms
The guest gets an SMS. Your team sees the booking where they always look.

Your team stays in charge
We don’t replace your host. We catch what already slips past.
Calls route to your staff first, always. If nobody picks up within two rings, it’s outside opening hours, or a second call comes in at the same time, TableTalks answers.
So the question is never "is AI better than my host?" It’s "do I want the calls I’m already missing to become bookings?"

- 2Busy, closed, or a second callerThis is the call you were about to lose.

Integrations
The call is only the beginning.
Reservation system, POS, phone line, SMS. We connect them by API during onboarding, so bookings and orders land where your team already looks. You keep your number, your calendar, your workflow.
Reservationstable written into your book
POS & paymentsorder sent to the kitchen
Ordering & deliverydelivery orders from your live menu
Phone line & SMSyou keep your number
Your existing VoIP, SIP or mobile line forwards to TableTalks after two rings. Guests get an SMS confirmation through your provider or ours. Any other system with an API: tell us on the demo call.
If your system isn’t listed, tell us your stack on the demo call.
Questions
The things restaurant owners ask us first.
Short answers here. Anything else, we’ll cover on the demo call.
Yes. It introduces itself as the restaurant’s phone assistant.
In practice guests care that someone picked up within three seconds and their table is booked. Nobody has to press 1 for anything.
It transfers the call to your staff, or takes a message with the full context.
A private room for 30, a complaint, a supplier calling: anything outside its brief goes to a person. If nobody is free, your team gets the transcript and a callback number.
Whatever language the guest starts speaking, including switching mid-call.
Language is detected from the first sentence. A German family and their English-speaking friend can share one call.
No. Your team always picks up first; TableTalks takes the calls that would ring out.
It steps in after two unanswered rings, outside opening hours, or when a second call comes in while your line is busy. Your host keeps every call they can take.
No. You keep your number and your phone line.
We add a forwarding rule with your current provider (VoIP, SIP or a mobile). Setup takes minutes and is reversible.
