The Dinner Rush Should Fill Tables, Not Lose Bookings
Every GTA restaurant knows the same painful moment: the dining room is full, the kitchen is at full pace, servers have both hands busy, and the phone starts ringing with people who want a table tonight, a birthday booking for twelve, or a simple answer about parking and hours. Staff cannot leave the floor, so the call rings out, and the guest books somewhere that answered. Those missed calls are not a staffing failure; they are a timing problem, because reservation calls peak at the exact hours your team is busiest. Guests also call at midday to plan an evening, and late at night to plan a weekend. Marvic AI gives your restaurant an AI receptionist that answers every call in seconds, twenty-four hours a day: taking reservations with party size, date, time and contact details, recording large-party and event inquiries for your manager, answering approved questions about hours, location and takeout, and sending you a summary of every call. Flat $99 USD per month, with a 14-day free trial through your own busiest services.
No reservation lost to the rush
Calls that land mid-service are answered and booked while your team stays on the floor with the guests already in the room.
Large parties handled properly
Birthdays, office dinners and celebrations are captured with size, occasion and contact details, then passed to your manager with everything needed to confirm.
Routine questions off your staff
Hours, directions, parking, takeout availability and menu basics you approve are answered instantly, so the phone stops interrupting service for repeat questions.
A clear booking list every morning
Reservations, changes and event inquiries arrive as tidy summaries, so the day starts with a complete picture instead of sticky notes and missed messages.
What's Included in AI Receptionist
Everything your business needs to win for Restaurants.
Reservations into your booking book
Date, time, party size, name and phone number are recorded in the format your host team uses, with special requests noted on the booking.
Large-party and event intake
Groups above the size you set follow a different path: more detail captured, no table promised, and a prompt handoff to your events contact.
Overflow that only kicks in when needed
Keep answering in person when you can. The AI picks up when the line is busy, unanswered after your chosen rings, or outside opening hours.
Call summaries for the whole team
Every call ends with a short text summary, so hosts, managers and kitchen leads share the same notes on VIPs, allergies noted by guests and timing changes.
Simple Process. Real Results.
Build your reservation flow
We record your table rules together: party sizes you seat, time slots, how long you hold a table, and which requests always go to a manager.
Load the guest questions
Your hours, address, parking, takeout process and menu highlights are loaded in your wording, so answers sound like your restaurant, not a call centre.
Trial it through real services
During setup you hear test calls for a Friday booking, a party of fourteen and a takeout question, then tune the flow before guests ever reach it.
Switch on rush-hour cover
Forward on overflow, after hours or full-time. Bookings and summaries start arriving from the next service, and you adjust rules any time.

AI Receptionist for Restaurants — Frequently Asked Questions
Can it take a reservation and also note an allergy or occasion?
Yes. Alongside date, time and party size, it records the notes you ask for, such as a birthday, a high chair or an allergy the guest mentions, and those notes travel with the booking summary.
What does it do with a party of twenty that wants a private room?
Groups above your threshold are not booked as ordinary tables. The AI captures the date, size, occasion and contact details, explains that your events team will confirm, and sends the inquiry to your manager right away.
We already use an online booking link. Does this replace it?
No. Many guests still prefer to phone, especially older guests, large parties and anyone with a question first. The AI covers the phone channel and records bookings the same way your host team does.
Can it answer takeout questions without taking payment?
It can explain how takeout works at your restaurant, your hours for it and what to expect, using wording you approve. If you prefer, callers ready to order are routed to your chosen ordering channel instead.
What if a guest wants to change or cancel a booking?
The AI finds the caller's reservation details from the call, records the change or cancellation under your rules, and summarizes it for your host team so the book stays accurate.
How much does it cost for a single-location restaurant?
It is a flat $99 USD per month with 300 shared voice minutes included, which suits most single locations. You can test it free for 14 days, including through your busiest weekend services.
