Let AI answer your restaurant's reservation calls.
Through the lunch and dinner rush, after closing, and on days off — AI answers your shop's dedicated line, checks real availability, and confirms every booking out loud during the call.
Sound familiar?
No one free to answer during the rush
The phone rings mid-service, while you're cooking or running plates. One missed call could be a booking that goes to the restaurant down the street instead.
Can't take booking calls after closing or on days off
Reservation calls come in early in the morning before prep and late at night after close. If no one answers, customers won't wait — they'll call the next place.
Details get lost between the phone and a notepad
Jotting down the date, party size, and name in a rush leads to mishearing and missing details, and you end up calling back to double-check.

How BookMi AI Phone helps
Answers reservation calls 24/7, 365 days a year
While AI reception is turned on, it answers every call to your shop's dedicated AI phone number — during business hours and after.
Books against your real slots and availability
Reservations are checked against your weekly booking slots and per-slot capacity. When a time is full, the AI says so honestly and offers what's actually open.
Confirms every detail out loud during the call
Date, name, and menu choice are repeated back and confirmed during the conversation. Once the call ends, a booking record is created and appears on your dashboard and calendar.
Large parties are routed to a callback from staff
You can set a maximum party size per booking. Requests above that limit are politely logged as a callback request for your staff to follow up.
Answers questions about the menu and finding you
The AI reads and organizes whatever materials you upload, and answers from them. Questions it can't answer are logged to a follow-up list for staff.
New bookings sent straight to Telegram
Connect a Telegram recipient, and every booking created from a real incoming call is sent automatically.

Frequently asked questions
Q1Will the AI actually answer the phone during a busy shift?
Yes. While AI reception is turned on, it answers every call to your shop's dedicated AI number, any time of day. If you need to pause reception — for an unplanned closure, say — you can turn it off from your dashboard and switch it back on the moment you're ready.
Q2What happens if someone calls when a time slot is full?
The AI checks your booking slots and capacity as it talks. When a time is full, it says so honestly and offers what's actually available. If nothing works, it takes their contact details and logs a callback request for your staff.
Q3What about large groups or private parties?
You can set a maximum party size per booking. Requests above that are politely logged as a callback request, so your staff can follow up and work out the details.
Q4Can it answer questions about the menu or ingredients?
Yes, based on whatever materials you upload. Anything not covered in your materials is logged to a follow-up list so staff can get back to the customer.
Q5Where do I see reservations that came in by phone?
A booking record is created once the call ends, and it appears in your booking list and calendar. Every call also has a full transcript, so you can review the conversation later. Connect Telegram and new bookings are sent automatically.
Q6Can it take calls from customers overseas?
Turn on multilingual reception, and callers choose Japanese, Chinese, or English on the keypad when they connect. Whichever language they pick, the AI answers the entire call in that language.
