AI receptionist for restaurants
Seating a table when the phone rings? Sí Call picks up.
It answers questions about your hours, menu and parking from what you add, takes a message for large parties, and writes each call up, so the host stand can keep seating people.
Plans open at launch. Nothing can be bought yet, and features marked “Coming soon” aren’t built yet.
The calls a restaurant gets, and what it does with each.
Most calls to a restaurant are the same handful of questions, asked while the room is full. Sí Call answers them from the details you add and writes each one up for you.
“What time do you close on Sundays?”
Hours, parking, dress code and policies, answered from what you’ve added to your business info.
“A table for four on Friday?”
It takes the party size, date and time, a name and a callback number, and reads the reservation back before booking it.
At launch“What’s in the carbonara?”
Menu questions, answered from the menu details you add. When a dish isn’t in them, it’s built to say so and take a message.
“We’re twelve, for a birthday.”
Large parties and private events are taken as a detailed message for whoever runs your events, rather than booked directly.
“Does that have nuts in it?”
It isn’t built to judge whether a dish is right for someone’s allergy. It’s built to take a message so your staff can answer.
“Can I order for pickup?”
Taking food orders by phone is built and being tested. It isn’t switched on for any restaurant yet.
Coming soon
During the rush
When three people call at once.
Each plan takes a set number of calls at the same time, from 1 call at a time on Starter to more on larger plans At launch. A caller past that limit hears that the lines are busy and is asked to try again in a few minutes.
Forwarding Coming soon will send that extra caller to your phone instead.
Short calls count too. Each call is rounded up to the whole minute, so a 40-second question about parking uses one minute of your plan.
- Starter1 call at a time
- GrowthUp to 2 calls at once
- ProUp to 4 calls at once
- BusinessUp to 5 calls at once
- ScaleUp to 6 calls at once (+$25 per extra line)
A caller over the limit hears
“All of our lines are busy right now. Please try again in a few minutes.”
Forwarding that caller to your phoneComing soon
A reservation call, from hello to booked.
An example call to a fictional restaurant. It answers a question from the business info, takes the reservation, and reads it back before booking.

Questions from restaurants.
Can I buy Sí Call for my restaurant today?
Not yet. Plans open at launch, and nothing can be bought before then.
Does it work with our reservation system?
No, and that isn’t on the near-term plan. At launch, Sí Call books into Google Calendar or its own built-in calendar. If you take reservations somewhere else, it can take the details as a message for your host stand to enter.
Will it take food orders over the phone?
Not yet. Order taking is built and being tested, and we won’t switch it on for a restaurant until it has handled real calls from start to finish. Until then it answers questions and takes a message.
What does it say when a caller asks about allergies?
It isn’t built to judge whether a dish is right for someone’s allergy, and we don’t want it to. It’s built to take a message so your staff can answer the caller themselves. We suggest your business info says the same.
What happens when several people call during the rush?
At launch, each plan takes a set number of calls at once, from 1 call at a time on Starter to more on larger plans. A caller past the limit hears that the lines are busy and is asked to try again in a few minutes. Forwarding that caller to your phone is coming soon.
Do we need a new phone number?
No. At launch you forward the number you already have to Sí Call, so the number on your door, your menus and your listings stays the same. A guided forwarding setup is coming soon.
How are short calls billed?
Each call is rounded up to the whole minute, so a 40-second question about parking uses one minute of your plan. A restaurant with many short calls should size its plan by calls, not talk time. The pricing page estimates minutes from your calls a day.
