The Right AI Voice Agent for Real
Restaurant Workflows
Listen to demo phone calls across average restaurant workflows your team handles most often - from reservations and order questions to event inquiries, waitlist updates, and human handoff.
Reservation Booking and Table Management
Help guests book, confirm, cancel, or modify reservations without tying up hosts or front-of-house staff. The AI voice agent can check availability, capture party size, preferred time, special requests, and contact details, then update your reservation system or route the call when human help is needed.
• Capture guest name, phone reservations, party size, date, time, and seating preference
• Check table availability and confirm reservation details with multilingual support
• Handle cancellations, modifications, and repeat reservation requests or any menu complexity
• Capture notes such as allergies, accessibility needs, celebrations, or special requests with instant responses
• Escalate VIP, large-party, or exception-based requests to human staff
Takeout, Delivery, and Order Inquiry Support
Answer routine order-related calls without interrupting staff during peak hours. Voice AI agents with Murf can help guests check order status, ask about pickup instructions, confirm delivery details, and get answers to common menu or policy questions while staff stay focused on service - without any missed opportunities during busy periods or a dinner rush.
• Answer inbound calls about takeout, pickup, delivery, and order timing or any menu questions
• Share approved information about menu items, store hours, delivery zones, and pickup instructions
• Capture order-related details before routing the call to staff
• Escalate refunds, complaints, missing items, or sensitive issues to human agents
• Reduce repetitive phone interruptions during lunch, dinner, and weekend peaks
Catering, Events, and Large-Party Requests
Qualify catering, event, and large-party inquiries before your team follows up. The voice AI agent can collect event date, guest count, budget range, menu preferences, location, dietary needs, and callback details so managers can respond with the right context in your brand voice.
• Capture event type, date, time, guest count, location, and budget range
• Ask approved questions about menu preferences, catering order, and service needs
• Route urgent or high-value inquiries to managers or event teams
• Create follow-up tasks with a structured summary of the request with voice assistants
• Help sales teams prioritize serious catering and private dining leads without staff intervention
Missed Call, Waitlist, and Guest Follow-Up
Turn missed calls, waitlist updates, and guest callbacks into structured workflows for most restaurants. Instead of letting calls go unanswered during peak service, Murf can capture guest intent, provide approved information, trigger follow-ups, and route priority conversations to the right team member.
• Answer inbound phone calls when hosts, managers, or staff are unavailable
• Capture whether the guest is calling about a reservation, table service, waitlist, event, or general question
• Provide approved updates on waitlist status, hours, parking, directions, or policies
• Trigger SMS, email, or task-based follow-ups after the call, allowing
• Escalate complaints, urgent issues, or guest recovery conversations to human staff
