App for iPhone and Android
One app. And the phone answers itself.
Download the app, connect your business number and type how you work. From then on an AI voice agent picks up and actually books — and you run all of it from the app: train it by writing, replay the calls, see the reservations.
$9.99 one-time activation · then $0.12 per minute · no monthly fee
- You keep your number. Customers call the one already in their phone
- Everything in one place. Agent, calls, training and bookings in the same app
- One tap to switch it off. The toggle at the top: on, and the phone is his

Setup
Setting it up is nothing. Two screens and you're done.
You don't buy a phone system, you don't change your number, you don't install anything in the shop. Open the app and do two things — and if you'd rather, we'll do them with you on a ten-minute call.
01
Connect your number, from the app
The app gives you your carrier's call-forwarding code: tap it, the call fires, done. Your business number stays exactly the same — nobody notices anything, except that now someone always picks up.
Forward all calls, only when you're busy, or only after hours. Change it any time with one tap.
02
Type how you work
One text box. Write what you'd tell a new server on day one: hours, closing days, covers, services, prices, what you don't do. Got a menu or a price list? Upload it in the app and he reads it himself.
From that moment he's answering. Anything he misses, you write it in one line afterwards.
There is no step 3. He does the rest.
Saturday night, full room, phone ringing. You don't even hear it.
The calls you miss during the two busiest hours are exactly the ones worth the most.
The flow
What happens, from the first ring to the booking.
Five steps. Three he does alone, one only if it's needed, and the last one is already waiting in the app.
1
The customer calls your usual number
The one on the business card, on Google, on Instagram. Nothing changes for them: they dial and it rings.
2
The agent answers on the first ring
He greets them with your business name, works out what they want and gives a real answer: hours, availability, directions, prices, allergies, parking. If it's bookable, he books it while they're still on the line.
3
He actually books — he doesn't take a message
Table, appointment, estimate, callback: he picks an open slot, confirms the details and ends the call with the thing done. No note for you to chase tomorrow.
4
If the call is unusual, he calls you
A complaint, a 40-person event, an off-menu request: he doesn't improvise. He transfers the call and your phone actually rings, with a summary of what the customer already said. If you don't pick up he takes it back and books you a callback.
5
Open the app and it's all there
The booking is in the calendar, the call is recorded and transcribed. Thirty seconds at the end of the night and you know how it went.
Inside the app
Three tabs. There's nothing else to learn.
Along the bottom: Agent, Train, Bookings. If you can use WhatsApp, you can use this.
9:41
Train your agentWrite to him like you'd talk
If they ask about parking, tell them there's a free lot behind the building, on Oak Street.
Got it. From now on, anyone asking about parking hears there's a free lot behind the building on Oak Street.
Last night you took a table of 12. Anything over 10, hand the call to me.
Noted. From 10 guests up I'll transfer the call to you and keep the customer on the line meanwhile.

Train
You write what went well and what didn't. He remembers it forever, starting with the next call.

The booking system lives inside the app: calendar, covers, notes and allergies, already written down.
How he sounds
The point is that he doesn't sound like an answering machine.
No menu of options, no "press 1". He talks, listens, waits for you to finish, notices when you cut in, keeps the thread when you change your mind halfway. If there's noise in the background he asks you to repeat, the way a person would.
He's patient with slow talkers, handles heavy accents, and — most importantly — knows how to say "I can't answer that, let me put you through to the owner" instead of making something up.
- You pick the tone in the app: formal, casual, warm
- He also answers in Spanish, French, German and Italian
- He never promises something you can't deliver
When a human is needed
Some calls you have to take. He hands them over.
You decide which ones by typing them in the app: an angry customer, a party over ten, a job enquiry, a question about a bill. When the agent spots one of those he doesn't try to wing it: he calls you, and your phone rings like a normal call, with the summary already in front of you.
If you can't be reached he picks the conversation back up, takes a number and books you a callback. The customer is never left hanging.
Included
The booking system isn't another program. It's a tab in the app.
Bookings don't land in an inbox: they go straight into the calendar with notes, covers and allergies. From your phone behind the counter or from the computer in the back office — same thing, and it's included.

Calendar and covers
The day by time slot, with seats taken and seats free. Drag a booking to move it.
Guest history
Who has booked before, how often they've come, what they asked for last time. The agent remembers it on the call.
Notes and allergies
Everything the customer said arrives written down: gluten-free, high chair, anniversary, dog in tow.
Your phone only rings when it's actually for you.
Everything else — hours, availability, bookings, directions — he closes out, and you read it later in the app.
Who it's for
If your business runs on phone calls, it's for you.
The only thing that changes is what you type into the app on day one. The rest works the same.
Restaurants & pizzeriasTables, takeout, large parties
Salons & barbersAppointments and services
Medical & dental officesVisits, recalls, cancellations
Auto shops & service centresEstimates and appointments
B&Bs & vacation rentalsAvailability and check-in
Gyms & service businessesSign-ups and free trials
The maths
A missed call isn't a missed call.
It's a table that goes to the restaurant next door, an appointment that goes to another salon, an estimate somebody else quotes. And that customer, next time, calls them first.
The hours you can't pick up
Service, a client in the chair, hands covered in grease, a meeting. Those are exactly the hours people call.
Calls that come at once
A person takes one at a time. The agent takes ten together without putting anyone on hold.
The time you get back
Nobody interrupting you to ask what time you close. The only calls that reach you are the ones that matter.
The real comparison
A person who answers the phone costs you a salary. He costs you cents a minute.
This isn't about replacing your team. It's about the one job nobody wants to pay a full wage for — picking up the phone — and what it actually costs to have a human do it.

Wage figures are typical US front-desk ranges and the "typical month" line assumes a part-time hire versus 300 minutes of agent conversation. Your numbers will be different — the point is the shape of the gap, not the exact total.
Nobody to replace in August
No holiday cover to organise, no temp to train for two weeks so they can answer the phone badly for ten days.
Trained once, forever
Everything you teach him stays. With people, every new hire starts from zero and you explain the same things again.
You pay for talking, not for waiting
A person is paid for the hours between the calls too. He's only billed while a customer is actually on the line.
Pricing
Pay once to switch it on. Then only for the minutes he talks.
No monthly fee, no contract, no minimum. If nobody calls this week, this week costs you nothing.
One-time activation
$9.99 once
Number connected, agent configured on your business, app unlocked. You never pay it again.
Then, per minute
$0.12 / minute
Billed only while a customer is actually on the line. Ringing, waiting and silence cost nothing.
Booking system, recordings, transcripts and training: all included.
There is nothing else to buy. No per-user fee, no setup call fee, no add-ons.

Questions
What everyone asks
Do I need a computer?
No. Everything happens on your phone: setup, training, calls, bookings. If it suits you, you can open the same calendar on a computer, but you don't have to.
Do I have to change my business number?
Never. The app sets up forwarding from your current number: customers dial the same one they always have. Turn the agent off and the phone rings at your place again.
Do I need to buy a phone system or install anything?
Nothing. No hardware, no technician in the shop, no software to install. Just the app and the number you already have.
How long does setup take?
Ten minutes: connect the number on the first screen and type how you work on the second. If you'd rather not type it, we'll call you and fill it in together.
What if he says something wrong?
Replay the call in the app, go to Train and write the correction in one line — from then on he doesn't get it wrong again. Expect to correct him a few times in the first two weeks; after that he settles.
How does he know whether I have room?
He reads the calendar inside the app: how many covers or slots you have, which are taken, how long each service runs. If he isn't sure he doesn't guess — he asks, or hands the call to you.
When exactly does he transfer a call to me?
In the cases you choose, written in the app. By default: complaints, large parties, off-standard requests and anything about money already paid.
Are the recordings compliant?
The agent announces at the start of the call that it's being recorded, the way any customer service line does. The recordings stay yours and you delete them from the app whenever you like.
Does it work if I already have a booking system?
Yes. If you already use one we'll try to connect it; if it can't be connected, the agent works on the app's own calendar and you keep using yours for everything else.
How does the billing actually work?
You pay $9.99 once, when you switch the agent on. After that you're charged $0.12 for every minute he spends talking to a customer, billed to the second. There is no monthly fee and no minimum: the running total is visible in the app at all times.
What if nobody calls me this month?
Then you pay nothing. You're only billed for minutes actually spoken — ringing, silence and waiting aren't counted.
Is the booking system extra?
No. Booking system, recordings, transcripts, search and unlimited training are all included in the per-minute price. There are no add-ons to buy.
Which phones does it run on?
iPhone and Android. The same account can be open on several phones, so whoever is on the floor sees bookings land too.
$9.99 once, then $0.12 a minute
From tomorrow the phone always answers.
Download the app, pay $9.99 once and connect your number. After that you only pay for the minutes he actually talks — and if you switch him off tomorrow, that's the end of it.
