Your staff belong with the guests at the table.
Awentail picks up the phone.

Guests call about a free table, the menu, opening hours, or a birthday dinner. Most of it has a simple answer - but someone still has to pick up, right in the middle of service.

Awentail answers on the web and by phone, offers an open slot, confirms the booking, and hands party and corporate enquiries to your staff with everything they need to know. 24 hours a day - even when you're full.

How many calls pull your staff away from the table each night?

Do you have a table for four tonight? What time do you close today? Is there gluten in the soup? Do you have a kids' menu? Can I get this to go? Can you seat a group of twelve?

On its own, each question takes a second. Across a busy evening, it's dozens of them - and none get answered from behind the bar.

And the real problem? The phone rings exactly when staff have the least time to answer it.

Awentail handles that first wave for you.

Not another screen by the till. The front line of your restaurant.

Awentail answers guests directly - and picks up on what matters along the way. For example:

party size and preferred time
any allergies or dietary needs
whether it's a regular dinner or a private party
takeaway versus dining in
catering or corporate event enquiries
budget or headcount for a larger booking
the best phone or email to follow up on
Routine question - handled. Real opportunity - passed on.

Different guest. Different request.

Pick what comes up most often in your restaurant.

Take the table booking without pulling anyone off the floor

A couple or a family calls or messages to check if there's a table free tonight. They just want a quick answer and a confirmation - not a long phone call.

Awentail offers an open slot right away, confirms the party size, and books the table.

Result

The guest has a confirmed table in under a minute, and no one left the floor to answer the phone.

The guest gets an answer right away. Your staff get the full picture.

The guest asks

Through the web chat or by phone, any time of day.

2

Awentail answers

Based on your menu, opening hours and house rules.

3

It spots the opportunity

For a booking, party or corporate event, it asks the right follow-up questions.

4

It hands over a ready summary

Party size, date and requests, all in one place for your staff.

One assistant. Two channels. Zero missed opportunities.

Website chat, phone with its own number, and appointment booking - in one tool that never sleeps.

Contacts and bookings

Bookings don't only happen during opening hours

Someone wants to plan a birthday dinner in the evening, not while your host is busy seating guests.

A tourist in a different time zone checks your opening hours at 3 AM.

And someone comparing three restaurants won't wait for the slowest one to reply.

Awentail answers, takes bookings and captures enquiries outside opening hours too.

So you start the day with confirmed bookings, not an empty diary.

Restaurant: 46% more off-peak reservations

A restaurant in central Prague rolled out the Awentail chatbot (Chatbot Pro plan) to take the phone off its staff mid-service. Deployment took one day, and the goal was simple: let guests book a table whenever it suited them, not just during reception hours.

+46% more off-peak reservations 87 → 127 bookings a month
0 missed calls a month
3 in 5 bookings made in the evening or on weekends

Deployment

  • Chatbot on the website and on the restaurant's Google profile
  • Connected to the booking calendar, logging party size and time
  • Menu and allergen answers pulled straight from the menu

What it delivered

  • Staff only pick up calls that truly need a person
  • Evening bookings are ready in the calendar by morning
  • Guests get an allergen answer instantly, weekends included
We expected it to handle bookings. We didn't expect our servers to stop apologizing to guests for having to run to the phone.

What our customers say

We used to miss five calls some evenings. Now every guest gets an answer, even when we're full.
Petra Dvořáková owner, Cafe U Lipy
Tourists ask about opening hours in the middle of the night. Awentail answers them in their own language without me getting out of bed.
Tomáš Beneš manager, Bistro Na Rohu
We finally have time for the guests at the table instead of running for the phone over bookings.

Questions for your industry

How long does setup take?

You can go live in a single afternoon - upload your materials and add the widget or a phone number. No developer needed.

Can it take reservations over the phone?

Yes, the voice assistant answers even at peak time, offers a free slot and confirms the booking.

Does it answer allergen and menu questions?

Yes - it answers on ingredients, allergens and special diets straight from your materials.

Can it handle a booking for a large group or a party?

Yes, for bigger bookings it asks about headcount, timing and special requests and hands it to you as a ready enquiry.

What if you're fully booked at that time?

It offers the nearest open slot or another time and logs the booking right away, so the guest doesn't leave empty-handed.

Where is our data?

We process data in the EU in line with GDPR, encrypted and isolated per account.

Your staff don't have to answer every call.

They just need to be with the guests who are already there.

Let Awentail handle bookings, menu questions and party enquiries - on the web and by phone, outside opening hours too.
