The Problem

A Full Dining Room Shouldn't Cost You the Next One

The busier your floor is, the worse your phone coverage gets — and booking calls are the ones you can least afford to drop.

Your host can't be in two places

Seating guests and greeting arrivals has to come first. The phone rings through the whole service and nobody can safely stop to take it.

People book outside your hours

Guests plan dinner on their commute and late at night. Every booking call that lands when the restaurant is closed is a table someone else fills.

Per-cover fees scale against you

Booking platforms that charge per seated cover cost you more precisely when you're doing well. A good month becomes a bigger bill.

Changes get lost

A time change taken verbally mid-rush and never written down turns into a double-booked table or an empty one.

How It Works

What Happens on a Booking Call

You forward your existing number and set your rules. The AI works within them on every call.

Answers on the first ring

Mid-service, after close, on a holiday Monday — the phone is always covered.

Checks against your real availability

Party size, time and table rules you define, so it doesn't promise a table you can't seat.

Books, moves or cancels

New bookings, time changes and cancellations all handled on the call — not written on a pad for later.

Everyone gets told

The guest gets an SMS confirmation, your dashboard updates instantly and your team gets a booking alert.

Capabilities

What's Included

A complete reservation system, not just a phone line.

Book, modify and cancel by phone

The full lifecycle of a reservation handled on the call, 24 hours a day.

Floor and table view

See your service laid out by table, and seat walk-ins alongside phone bookings from the same screen.

Manual and walk-in bookings

Your team adds and edits bookings directly, so the dashboard reflects the whole night — not just AI-handled calls.

SMS confirmations and alerts

Guests get confirmation texts. Owners and managers get alerts when something needs attention.

Guest history you own

Your booking and guest data lives in your dashboard and stays yours — it isn't a platform's asset.

Escalation for the unusual

Large parties, private events and anything outside your rules go to a human rather than being improvised.

Compare

Flat Monthly vs. Per-Cover Booking Platforms

A pricing-model comparison, not a feature-equivalent one. Booking platforms bring their own diner marketplace; Resto-Reso does not.

	Resto-Reso	Per-cover booking platforms
Reservation pricing	Flat $199/month per location	Monthly fee plus per-cover fees
Cost when you have a great month	Unchanged	Rises with every seated cover
Phone bookings	Answered by AI 24/7, included	Usually still your staff's job
Walk-ins	Included in the same dashboard	Add-on or varies
Diner marketplace	None — you drive your own bookings	Yes, this is their main advantage
Guest data	Yours	Limited
Contract	Cancel anytime	Often annual

Worth being clear: if a big part of your covers come from diners browsing a booking marketplace, that marketplace is doing something Resto-Reso doesn't do. Resto-Reso is the better fit when most of your bookings already come from people who know you and are calling you directly.

FAQ

Reservation Questions, Answered

Does Resto-Reso connect to OpenTable, Resy or Reserve with Google?

No. Resto-Reso does not integrate with OpenTable, Resy, Reserve with Google or any in-house booking system. It is a standalone reservation system with its own dashboard — an alternative to per-cover platforms rather than a layer on top of one.

Can guests change or cancel a booking by phone?

Yes. Guests can book, modify or cancel by phone, 24/7. "Can we move 7:30 to 8:00?" is handled on the call, and every change is logged in your dashboard immediately.

What about walk-ins and bookings my staff take in person?

Your team can add and manage bookings manually in the dashboard alongside the AI-handled ones, so the floor view reflects everything — phone bookings, walk-ins and staff-entered reservations in one place.

Are there per-cover fees?

No. Reservations are a flat $199 per month per location, which covers up to 120 eligible AI-handled reservation calls. Additional eligible calls are $0.90 each. You are never charged a percentage or a fee per seated guest.

What counts as an eligible reservation call?

An eligible call is one the AI handles that results in a booking, modification or cancellation. General questions, wrong numbers, spam and abandoned calls are not counted against your included calls.

What happens if the AI can't handle a caller's request?

It escalates to a human rather than guessing. Unusual requests — large parties, private events, anything outside the rules you set — get passed on and your manager is alerted. Every call is logged in the dashboard either way.

Do guests get a confirmation?

Yes. Guests receive an SMS confirmation of the booking, and your team gets booking alerts so nothing is a surprise at the door.

Do I keep my own phone number?

Yes. You forward your existing restaurant number to Resto-Reso. Guests keep calling the number already printed on your menus, website and Google listing.
