Never miss a reservation call again
An AI Receptionist That Answers Your Restaurant's Phone 24/7 and Books Reservations
A bilingual AI receptionist that answers every call in English and Spanish, books table reservations, and captures catering and private-event leads. $99/mo.
When the dining room is slammed, nobody can grab the ringing phone, and that caller just wanted a table for six on Friday. EchoAnswers gives your restaurant a bilingual AI receptionist named Aria who answers every call in English and Spanish, books reservations, answers hours and parking questions, and captures your catering and private-event inquiries, day or night. No host stuck at the podium, no missed reservations, no voicemail nobody checks.
Every reservation call answered, even during the dinner rush
The phone always rings at the worst time, right when there's a line at the host stand and the kitchen is firing on all burners. So calls go to voicemail, and the party of eight who wanted Saturday at 7 simply books the place down the street instead. Aria picks up on the first ring every single time, so a full dining room never costs you the next reservation.
Aria takes table reservations the way a great host would: she asks for the date, the time, the party size, and a name and number, confirms the details back to the caller, and hands you a clean booking plus an emailed summary of the call. She works the late-night and early-morning calls too, the ones that come in after you've locked up and flipped the chairs, so a Tuesday-at-10pm 'are you open this weekend?' turns into a Saturday reservation instead of a missed call.
And she only ever quotes what you tell her. Your hours, your reservation policy, whether you seat walk-ins, how long you hold a table, your corkage rule, your dress code, your patio situation, Aria answers from the details you provide and never makes anything up.
Bilingual service for every diner who calls
Your guests don't all call in the same language, and the person who happens to answer the phone can't always switch on the spot. Aria speaks both English and natural Spanish, and she switches mid-call the instant a caller does, so a Spanish-speaking guest asking '¿tienen mesa para el sábado?' gets a warm, fluent answer instead of a fumbled 'un momento' and a long hold.
That covers the questions diners actually call about: your hours today and on holidays, exactly where you are and whether there's parking or valet, whether you take reservations or it's walk-in only, and menu-type questions like whether you have vegan, vegetarian, or gluten-free options, all answered from what you've given Aria. Every caller gets the same accurate, on-brand answer, in their language, on the first try.
Each call ends with a tidy AI summary emailed straight to you: who called, what they wanted, the reservation she booked or the lead she captured. You see exactly what's happening on your phone line without anyone on staff having to stop and write it down.
Turn catering and private-event calls into booked revenue
The most valuable call your restaurant gets all week is often the one about a rehearsal-dinner buyout, a 30-person holiday party, or an office catering order, and it's exactly the call a busy host has no time to handle well. Aria captures every large-party, private-event, and catering inquiry as a qualified lead: the date, the headcount, the occasion, the budget if the caller offers it, and how to reach them, then emails it to you while the interest is still hot.
Instead of a scribbled note that gets lost in the weeds of service, you get an organized lead the moment the call ends, so you can call back and close it. Those are the bookings that fill a slow Monday or pack the private room on a weeknight, and they're the ones that usually slip away when no one can pick up.
Setup takes minutes and nothing gets installed: you keep your existing restaurant number and just forward your calls to EchoAnswers. The Front Desk plan is a flat $99/month with 600 minutes included and a 30-day money-back guarantee, and every call opens with a quick spoken AI and recording notice so your guests always know.

Frequently asked questions
Can the AI book a table reservation for my restaurant?
Yes. Aria takes reservations over the phone the way a host would: she asks for the date, time, party size, and the caller's name and number, confirms the details back, and sends you the booking along with an emailed summary. She answers your reservation questions, like whether you take them at all and how big a party you'll seat, from the policies you provide.
Can Aria take takeout or food orders?
Aria's core job is reservations, answering your callers' questions, and capturing catering and private-event leads. If you'd like her to take phone takeout orders too, that can be added for your restaurant — just tell us during setup and we'll tailor what she handles to your front-of-house.
Can it answer calls in Spanish for my bilingual diners?
Yes. Aria answers fluently in both English and Spanish and switches the moment a caller does, even mid-conversation. A guest asking '¿hacen reservaciones?' or '¿tienen opciones sin gluten?' gets a natural, accurate answer in their own language, so no caller gets stuck on hold waiting for someone who can help.
What happens with large-party, private-event, and catering calls?
Aria captures them as detailed leads. She'll gather the date, the headcount, the occasion, the budget if the caller mentions it, and their contact info, then email it to you right away so you can call back and close it. These high-value inquiries are exactly the ones that get missed when the host stand is buried during service.
Will it answer after hours and when we're closed?
Yes, around the clock. The late-night and early-morning 'are you open this weekend?' and 'do you take reservations?' calls that normally ring out get answered, and Aria can book the reservation or capture the lead right then. You get an emailed summary of every after-hours call so nothing waits until you reopen.
How much does it cost and do I have to change my restaurant's phone number?
The Front Desk plan is a flat $99 per month with 600 minutes included and $0.50 per minute after that, plus a 30-day money-back guarantee. You keep your existing restaurant number, there's nothing to install, and you just forward your calls. You can hear Aria live first by calling +1 (928) 399-7870.
