The AI receptionist that answers the phone while your kitchen's slammed
During a Friday rush nobody can stop plating to grab the phone — but every unanswered ring is a table or an order walking straight to the place down the road. EngageMinty answers every call in your restaurant's name, takes the booking or the takeaway order, handles "are you open?" for the hundredth time, and drops it all into your system before the next plate's up.
The problem with a phone you can't always answer
- ✕The phone rings hardest at 7pm on a Friday — exactly when every pair of hands is on a pass or a table, and nobody can answer.
- ✕Diners and takeaway customers won't leave a voicemail — they just hang up and dial the curry house or pizza place next door.
- ✕Your team spends half of service answering the same questions — opening hours, parking, allergens, 'can I book for eight?' — instead of looking after the room.
How EngageMinty fixes it
Answers every call, even mid-rush
Picks up in your restaurant's name on the busiest Saturday night and at 11pm when you're closed — so no booking or order ever rings out.
Takes bookings and takeaway orders
Captures covers, date, time and special requests, or runs a caller through your menu for collection and delivery — then sends it straight to the kitchen.
Handles the questions that eat your night
Opening hours, parking, allergens, dietary options, where you are — answered instantly, so your floor staff stay on the floor.
Frequently asked questions
Will it sound like a robot?
No — it's a natural, human-sounding voice (you can even clone your own). Most callers never realise they're talking to AI.
Can it take a table booking?
Yes — it captures the date, time, party size and any special requests, books it into your diary or reservation system, and texts you a summary.
Can it take takeaway and collection orders?
Yes. It can walk a caller through your menu, take the order and the details, and send it straight through to the kitchen for collection or delivery.
Does it work in other languages?
Yes — it speaks 32+ languages and switches automatically, so you never lose a booking because of the line.
How much does it cost?
From £49/mo plus usage, or £149/mo all-inclusive. One busy Friday's worth of caught bookings usually covers it.
