Industries · Hospitality

AI reception for restaurants, venues and hospitality groups.

Every call during service is a table left waiting. Attorus takes reservations, answers the same twenty questions, and manages the waitlist while your floor team stays with guests.

Australian-built and managed from Adelaide. Openly AI, and happy to prove it works before you commit.

Attorus Agent 7:45 pm
Hi, any chance of a table for 6 tomorrow night?
Tomorrow's busy, but I've got 6:30 or 8:45 for six. Which works better?
8:45. One of us is gluten free, is that alright?
Easily. I've noted it on the booking and flagged it for the kitchen. Confirmation is on its way by text.
Answering across
01 / The problem
during service

The busiest booking hours are the hours nobody can pick up

Between 6 and 8 the phone rings hardest and your floor team is carrying plates. Every unanswered call is a table that goes to the venue two doors down, and nobody on shift will ever know it happened.

group enquiry · no detail

Function enquiries need details captured properly

A twenty-person birthday is worth more than a dozen walk-ins, and it arrives as a name on a Post-it with no date, no headcount and no budget. By the time your functions manager rings back, they have booked elsewhere.

the same 20 questions

Opening hours, parking, dietaries, BYO

The same handful of questions, all night, every night, each one pulling somebody off the floor. They should be answered instantly, in your tone, without a human ever seeing them.

Peak service · phones answered

The hours you cannot answer the phone are the hours the phone rings most. The agent covers the whole service, so the floor team stays with guests and the bookings still land.

02 / How it works

Answer, qualify, book, follow up.

01

Answers the phone through service

Calls, SMS, Instagram DMs, Messenger and website chat, all answered in seconds while your floor team stays with guests. A caller who hangs up gets a text back with the booking link.

Takes the reservation properly

Date, time, covers, dietaries and the occasion, checked against real availability rather than a guess, then written into the system you already run.

03

Handles the waitlist and the walk-ins

When the night is full it offers the waitlist, takes the details, and messages the guest the moment a table frees up if you enable it.

Briefs functions properly

Group and function enquiries get the full set of questions, date, headcount, budget, dietaries and requirements, then land on your functions manager as a complete brief.

03 / A worked scenario

A table for six, taken at the peak of service.

Inbound call · Friday 7:45 PM Sample scenario · illustrative

The phone rings mid-service asking for a table of six tomorrow night. The agent checks real availability, offers 6:30 or 8:45, and takes 8:45. It captures a gluten-free note against the booking and flags it for the kitchen. A second caller who hangs up before it answers gets a text back with the booking link.

Booked for six at 8:45 with the dietary note attached, SMS confirmation and a reminder sent, and not one member of the floor team left a table to take it.

04 / What it does

Built for the way your week actually runs.

01

Reservations taken while you are on the floor

The line answers itself through the whole service, so nobody has to choose between the guest in front of them and the phone.

02

The same twenty questions, answered instantly

Hours, parking, BYO, dietaries and menu questions answered from your actual menu and policies, in your tone.

03

Waitlist that works without a clipboard

Details captured on the spot and a message the moment a table frees, so a full night still converts.

04

Function briefs that arrive complete

Date, covers, budget and requirements captured in the first exchange rather than three phone calls later.

05

Reminders that cut no-shows

Every booking gets a confirmation and a reminder on the channel the guest used, and they can confirm or move it by replying.

06

One thread per guest, every channel

The regular who books by DM and rings on a Friday is the same person to the agent, with the same history.

05 / Channels and integrations

The channels that matter here, plugged into what you run.

Channel fit
PhoneSMSInstagramLive chat

Hospitality is a phone trade with a social front door. Phone and SMS carry the reservations and the missed-call text-backs, Instagram catches the people who found you through a photo, and live chat answers the hours and parking questions before they become a call.

06 / FAQ

Fair questions, straight answers.

Does it integrate with reservation platforms?

It books into the calendar or system you connect. Bring your platform to the consultation and we will confirm the path before you commit to anything.

Can it handle function enquiries?

It captures date, headcount, budget and requirements, then hands a complete brief to your functions manager instead of a name and a phone number.

What happens during a full house?

It offers the waitlist, takes the details, and messages the guest the moment a table frees up if you enable that.

Can it answer menu and dietary questions?

From your actual menu data, yes, including flagging items for the common dietaries you specify. Anything it has not been given, it hands to your team rather than guessing.

Will it sound like our venue?

Tone is tuned to your venue during onboarding, so it reads like your bookings email, not a call centre script. You approve the wording before it answers a single call.

What if a guest wants a person?

They get one. The agent hands the conversation to your team, or takes a message and alerts you straight away, whichever suits the service.

Is it really AI? Will guests know?

Yes, it is AI, and we sell it as exactly that. It never claims to be a specific member of your team, and how it introduces itself is agreed with you during onboarding.

Cost is the question everybody asks first: how much does this actually cost? The rest are on the FAQ.

Start

Your floor team should be on the floor.

Every unanswered call during service is a table that went somewhere else, and nobody on shift ever finds out. Book a 30-minute call and see it on your own line. A couple of saved covers a week pays for it.
