AI for Restaurants

Your Restaurant Loses $18,720 a Year in Missed Calls

When the phone rings during a dinner rush, no one picks up. That reservation, catering order, or large-party inquiry goes to your competitor down the street. FrontlineHQ's AI answers every call, 24/7.

The Problem

Why Restaurants Lose Customers Every Day

Your competitors are filling the tables you're leaving empty.

Reservations Lost During the Rush

When your kitchen is firing on all cylinders and the dining room is packed, no one can answer the phone. That caller wanting a table for eight this Friday? They just booked with your competitor.

Competitors Fill Your Empty Tables

Restaurants that answer every call book 40% more covers. When a caller can't reach you, they don't leave a voicemail — they search Google and call the next place.

Staff Juggle Orders and Phones

Your servers and hosts are already stretched thin. Stopping to answer calls during service slows down table turns, creates mistakes, and frustrates both staff and diners.

FAQ

Common Questions from Restaurant Owners

Can the AI handle reservation requests during the dinner rush?

Yes. The AI voice agent answers every call instantly, even when your staff is slammed. It confirms party size, date, time, and special requests (allergies, high chairs, private dining) and books directly into your reservation system. No caller ever hears a busy signal or gets sent to voicemail.

Does it know our menu, hours, and specials?

Absolutely. During setup, the AI learns your full menu, daily specials, dietary options (vegan, gluten-free, halal), hours of operation, and catering packages. It answers accurately whether someone asks about appetizers at 10 PM or brunch availability on Sunday.

Can it take catering and large-party inquiries?

Yes. The AI captures all details for catering requests — event date, guest count, budget, dietary restrictions, and contact info — then sends the lead to your catering manager instantly via text or email. No inquiry falls through the cracks.

How does it handle online ordering questions?

The AI chatbot on your website answers questions about your menu, confirms delivery radius and fees, explains pickup vs. delivery options, and directs customers to your online ordering platform. It can also capture orders as leads if you prefer phone-based ordering.

What if a caller needs to speak with a manager?

The AI can transfer calls to any team member at any time. You set the rules — for example, always transfer complaints, VIP guests, or large-party requests. If no one is available, the AI takes a detailed message and texts it to your manager immediately.
