Booking Chatbot for Restaurants

Guests reserve tables, book private dining, and plan events through a chatbot that knows your floor plan, party size limits, and peak-hour availability.

A booking chatbot for restaurants is an AI-powered chatbot that books appointments through your website 24/7 using natural conversation. It checks real-time availability, collects client details, and confirms the booking — so your team focuses on service, not scheduling.

Scheduling Challenges for Restaurants

Phone ringing non-stop during dinner service when staff can't answer
No-show reservations leaving empty tables during your busiest nights
Large party requests buried in email taking days to confirm
Walk-in-only policies losing customers who want guaranteed seating
Manual reservation books creating double-bookings and seating conflicts

What the Chatbot Does for Restaurants

1

Party Size & Seating Intelligence

The chatbot checks real-time table availability based on party size, assigns appropriate seating areas, and warns when a time slot is nearly full.

2

Special Request Collection

Dietary restrictions, high chair needs, birthday celebrations, and seating preferences are collected during booking so your team can prepare in advance.

3

Private Dining & Event Booking

Large parties and event inquiries are handled by the chatbot, which collects guest count, menu preferences, and budget before routing to your events coordinator.

4

Waitlist with Live Updates

When all tables are booked, the chatbot adds guests to a smart waitlist and sends real-time updates when a table becomes available.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can the chatbot handle large party reservations?

Yes. For parties above your threshold, it collects all details and either books a private dining space automatically or routes the request to your events team.

Does it reduce no-shows?

AI reminders are sent at optimal times before the reservation. Guests can confirm or cancel with one tap, and freed tables are instantly offered to the waitlist.

Can it manage multiple restaurant locations?

Yes. The chatbot asks which location the guest prefers and shows availability specific to that venue.
