The butter and the money from the butter
Fewer no-shows, more reservations. Finally.
Your reservation book is precious. Don't leave it to chance. Hostess deploys a predictive voice AI that secures every cover, without ever asking for a credit card.
1. Qualify
Hostess doesn't just verify attendance. Our conversational agent calls every customer with the tact of a maître d' to confirm their arrival, but also to enrich the experience: allergies, special occasions, table preferences. It recognizes your regulars and adapts its tone for a tailored welcome.
"Your client feels expected and considered. The moral commitment is made, the risk of cancellation collapses."
2. Anticipate
Our AI crosses the invisible to predict the unpredictable. It analyzes intonation (hesitation in the voice), client history, but also external factors (weather alerts, football matches). It assigns a "Reliability Score" to each table so you know exactly who you are dealing with.
"You spot potential "no-shows" 24h in advance and adjust your stocks or overbooking accordingly."
3. Maximize Profit
A late cancellation despite everything? Hostess doesn't let the table get cold. The system reacts in real-time to activate your waiting list or manages precise overbooking to replace the cover instantly.
"Your dining room remains full and your turnover is protected, regardless of the 7pm hazards."
