Sophia · your front office · every channel answered, 24/7
Stop Losing Restaurants Customers to Voicemail
A party of 8 booking an anniversary dinner is a $380 table and a fresh review. Miss the call while your host works a 45-minute wait list and they book the Italian place two blocks over on OpenTable. Sophia answers every channel so you fill the room.

More than an answering service
An answering service answers. Sophia speaks, screens, negotiates, automates, decides.
When your host is buried in a wait list, the reservation line rings out and that party of 8 books whoever answers, while Google requests, catering emails, and event DMs land as your floor team fights the weeds. Sophia answers every call and message within 5 minutes, so you fill the room instead of losing the booking.

How Sophia runs your front office for Restaurants
An answering service answers. Sophia does all five.
- SPEAK: answers calls in under 2 rings, in your business name. 24/7.
- SPEAK: covers 7 channels, web forms, DMs, Google messages, WhatsApp, one voice.
- SCREEN: qualifies each lead against your rules before it reaches you.
- NEGOTIATE: handles quotes and pricing questions, holds the booking.
- AUTOMATE: books straight to your calendar, no double-booking, no callbacks.
- DECIDE: escalates what needs you; logs every channel in one dashboard.
Every channel answered. Every decision made. 168 hours a week, the work of three hires.
Operator, not software
Not another AI tool to run. An operator you hire.
Most “AI answering” products hand you a bot to configure and a dashboard to babysit. Sophia arrives already trained and does the work.
A DIY AI tool
Software you run
- You configure it, write the prompts, and wire the workflows.
- Generic out of the box, it knows nothing about your work.
- One more app to log into, monitor, and keep alive.
- Hands you features and leaves the work to you.
- Charges per seat or per message, then needs babysitting.
Sophia
The operator you hire
- Arrives already set up and trained, nothing to build.
- Pre-trained in your trade, including the questions your customers actually ask.
- One operator who just works, across phone, text, email, web, social, and Google.
- Hands you outcomes, answered, booked, followed up, handled.
- Does the work of ~3 hires for a fraction of one salary. 168 hours a week, from $5/hour.
And she’s already trained in restaurants from day one, not a blank tool you have to teach.

How is this different from a traditional answering service?
An answering service answers. Sophia does all five, speaks in your name, screens the lead, negotiates the booking, automates follow-up, and decides what reaches you, across phone, SMS, email, WhatsApp, and social DMs.
How fast can Sophia start answering my calls?
We forward your existing line, so calls route to Sophia within minutes, no number change. Your full 7-channel setup is live in about 48 hours.
Can Sophia book reservations directly into OpenTable or Resy so my host doesn't have to reconcile two systems?
Yes, on Pro and above she integrates with OpenTable, Resy, Tock, and SevenRooms. She books, modifies, cancels, and confirms in real time off the same availability your host sees. No double-bookings, no 'let me check and call you back', your host stays on the room.
How does Sophia generate 31 new Google reviews per month for a restaurant?
She texts a thank-you 3 hours after each table ends, guests are home but still in the evening. Under 4 stars routes to the manager first to fix privately; 4–5 stars get the Google link. Operators average 31 new reviews in their first 30 days from one automated sequence.
Will she handle private-event and catering inquiries so my events coordinator doesn't miss leads?
Yes. Private-event calls get a dedicated intake, date, headcount, occasion, F&B minimum, AV, room preference. She books a tasting with your coordinator and texts a one-pager of room photos, menu options, and per-person minimums. Event leads shop 2–3 venues; the fastest detailed reply wins the tasting, and usually the booking.
