For Restaurant / pizzeria
The restaurant / pizzeria front desk that answers at 2 am — and books the job.
Reservations, large parties, catering inquiries, and menu FAQs. Your assistant starts from a playbook for restaurant / pizzeria — what counts as an emergency, which jobs are common and how long they take, which questions to ask — then learns your services, hours, and policies.
Emergencies, from day one.
These reach a person immediately — the caller gets safety guidance and is put through to you, then your other emergency contacts are texted in turn until someone opens the alert:
- Large party standing at the door now with no reservation on file
- Guest reporting an allergic reaction or food-safety incident in progress
- Kitchen fire, gas smell, or flooding forcing evacuation
- Choking or other medical emergency with a diner
The playbook it starts from
- 01Book table reservations into open times, with the party size noted
- 02Take catering and private-event inquiries with headcount and date
- 03Answer hours, menu, and allergen questions from what you've told it
- 04Take large-party requests for you to confirm
- 05Confirm and remind guests of reservations
Plus confirmations and reminders, missed-call text-back (once carrier registration clears), the morning briefing, and every recording in Calls — the standard Conduit front desk.

Questions
Questions from restaurant / pizzeria owners
Does it understand restaurant / pizzeria emergencies?
Yes — out of the box it treats Large party standing at the door now with no reservation on file, Guest reporting an allergic reaction or food-safety incident in progress, Kitchen fire, gas smell, or flooding forcing evacuation as emergencies: the caller gets safety guidance and is put through to you, then your other emergency contacts are texted in turn until someone opens the alert.
Will it quote prices on the phone?
No — never. It books the visit and takes the caller's details; pricing stays yours. Setup starts from a template of common services for your business type so it knows what you offer and how long each visit runs.
How fast can I be live?
Five setup screens, then your assistant gets its own local number the moment you pick a plan — calls are live that day. Forward your existing number any time; it stays yours and the forwarding is reversible. Texting switches on after a one-time carrier registration, typically 1–3 weeks later, sometimes longer.
