AI phone answering for restaurants that can't get to the phone during rush hour.
100 calls/mo. 2-minute setup. Cancel anytime.
It's Friday at 7 PM. The kitchen is firing on all burners. The dining room is packed. The phone is ringing. Nobody can answer it because every staff member has their hands full - literally.
That phone call is a reservation for 8 people this Saturday. Or a catering inquiry for a corporate event. Or a takeout order. Every unanswered call is money walking out the door. And unlike other businesses, restaurants get hit with a flood of calls at the exact moment they're busiest.
Lunch rush: 11:30 AM to 1:30 PM. Dinner rush: 5:30 PM to 8:30 PM. Those are peak calling hours and peak chaos hours. The overlap is brutal. Miss 3 reservation calls a week and you're looking at thousands in lost revenue every month.

Lunch rush, dinner rush, Sunday brunch - Lexi answers every call with your restaurant's name while your staff focuses on the guests who are already there.
A party of 8 on Saturday is worth $320+ to your restaurant. Lexi captures the details - party size, date, time, occasion - so you can call back and confirm within minutes.
Restaurant owners and managers are busy enough. Every call summary goes straight to your email. Check between services, prioritize, and respond.
Catering calls are high-value and time-sensitive. The caller is usually comparing 2-3 restaurants. Lexi picks up, captures the event details, and makes sure you see it before the competition calls back.
Hiring someone just to answer the phone costs $2,500+/month. An answering service charges $200+/month for limited minutes. CallHush is $49 for 100 calls.
