Answering services were built for call centers — not restaurants

A traditional answering service takes a message and hopes someone calls back. A caller booking a table for Saturday night doesn't want a message — they want a reservation. TableTalk was built for restaurants, so it does what a live host does:

Books the table live. Reservations drop into OpenTable or Resy in real time — not into a notebook.
Answers questions on the spot. Hours, dress code, gluten-free, parking — answered from your actual menu and policies.
Texts the menu. Every caller leaves with your menu link, directions, or ordering link on their phone.
Transfers to a human. When a call needs your team, the AI hands it over with full context.

Questions about automated answering

What is an automated restaurant phone answering service?

It's a service that answers your restaurant's phone automatically, 24/7, using an AI receptionist. It greets callers, answers menu questions, books reservations, and texts guests the menu — so no call ever goes to voicemail during the rush.

How is this different from a traditional answering service?

Traditional answering services use remote human operators who often just take a message. TableTalk actually books reservations into OpenTable or Resy in real time, answers menu and dietary questions, and texts the menu — at a fraction of the cost.

What happens after hours?

TableTalk keeps answering after close. It books reservations for future dates, texts the menu and hours, and leaves you a full summary the next morning.

Do I need new hardware or a new phone number?

No. TableTalk works with your existing line via conditional call forwarding — landlines, VoIP, or Google Voice. No hardware, no new number.
