Event Planners Send Several Inquiries in One Sitting — and Book the First Good Conversation
Catering and group booking inquiries behave nothing like a normal reservation. The person sending one is usually planning something with a date attached — an office holiday dinner, a birthday for twenty, a rehearsal dinner, a team celebration — and they rarely ask only you. They open the sites of several restaurants they like, send the same basic inquiry to each, and then wait to see who comes back with a serious, organised response. By the time a busy restaurant checks its events inbox after the weekend, that planner has often already toured another room and paid a deposit. Speed2Lead by Marvic AI puts your restaurant first in that conversation. The moment a catering, group booking or private event inquiry arrives from your website or ads, an AI voice agent calls within 60 seconds — while the planner still has the date, the guest count and the occasion fresh in mind. It captures the details a manager actually needs to price and confirm an event: the date and time, party size, occasion, preferred space, menu interests, and the contact who can approve a deposit. The complete brief goes to your manager or events contact for confirmation, the planner receives an SMS acknowledging the inquiry, and inquiries that do not complete are followed up. Your floor team never has to stop mid-service to chase a form. The service is $199 USD per month and starts with a 14-day free trial, no credit card required.
Your restaurant answers while the shortlist is open
The planner sent inquiries to several venues in the same half hour. A call within 60 seconds makes yours the first real conversation they have, before another room tour and deposit close the decision.
Managers receive a brief they can act on
Date, guest count, occasion, space preference and menu interest arrive together in one summary, so the manager callback is about confirming a real event, not starting an interview the planner has already had elsewhere.
High-value events stop waiting for inbox checks
A private dining booking can be worth many ordinary covers, yet those inquiries often sit unread through a busy weekend. Every event lead is called immediately, whether it arrives during service or late on a Sunday night.
Planners feel looked after from the first minute
A prompt, organised call that asks the right questions signals how the event itself will be run. That first impression is part of what a planner is buying when they choose between two similar rooms.
What's Included in Speed2Lead
Everything your business needs to win for Restaurants.
60-second call on catering and event leads
Catering forms, group booking forms, private event pages and connected ad inquiries trigger a live AI call within 60 seconds, around the clock, so no event lead depends on when a manager next opens email.
Full event brief captured on the call
Event date and time, expected guest count, occasion, preferred room or patio space, menu and package interests, and any timing constraints are gathered in a natural order and written into one manager-ready summary.
Decision-maker details confirmed
The call confirms who is organising the event, the best contact for follow-up, and who approves the booking and deposit, so the manager is not chasing a committee through a general inbox address.
Manager handover, SMS and follow-up
The completed brief is sent to your manager or events contact for pricing and confirmation, the planner gets an SMS acknowledging the inquiry and next step, and partial or unbooked inquiries receive a follow-up instead of going cold.
Simple Process. Real Results.
Connect your catering, group and event inquiry forms
Link the catering and private events forms on your website, your group booking page and any ad lead source you use for events. Regular table reservations keep their existing path; this system watches specifically for the high-value event inquiries.
Describe your spaces, packages and booking rules
You set out your private room and patio capacities, the set menus or packages you offer for groups, minimum spends or deposit rules you want mentioned, and the party size where an inquiry becomes a manager-confirmed event rather than a standard booking.
Every event inquiry is called within 60 seconds
The agent greets the planner in your restaurant name, confirms the occasion and date, works through guest count, space and menu interests, and checks who can approve the booking, all while the planner is still comparing venues with your menu open.
Your manager confirms from a complete brief
The summary lands with your manager or events contact holding everything needed to price the event and call back with a proposal. The planner already has an SMS confirmation that their inquiry was received and is being prepared, and incomplete inquiries are followed up automatically.

Speed2Lead for Restaurants — Frequently Asked Questions
Does the agent confirm a private event booking outright, or does our manager still decide?
Your manager still decides. The call captures the complete brief and explains, in your approved wording, that the events team will confirm availability and pricing. That protects you on dates that need a minimum spend, a room hold or a menu conversation, while the planner still leaves the call feeling properly looked after.
What event details does the call capture before it reaches our manager?
The date and preferred time, expected guest count, the occasion, preferred space such as the private room or patio, menu or package interests, any important timing or dietary notes the planner volunteers, and the name and number of the person who can approve the booking. If a key detail is missing, the summary says so plainly instead of guessing.
A planner asks about a date that is probably already taken. How is that handled?
The agent does not promise the date. It records the preferred date plus a backup date if the planner offers one, completes the rest of the brief, and passes it to your manager, who can respond with the real availability and alternatives. The inquiry is kept warm instead of being answered with a flat no by an automated system.
We get most catering inquiries during Friday service when nobody can talk. Does this need a staff member free?
No staff member needs to be free. The AI call happens on its own within 60 seconds of the form being submitted, completes the brief, and delivers it to your manager for a callback at a workable hour. Service continues uninterrupted, and the planner has still been spoken to while their intent was highest.
Can the call separate a group of twelve friends from a corporate event for sixty?
Yes, because the questions adapt to the answers. Party size and occasion steer the conversation: a small celebration is asked about space and set menu preferences, while a large corporate inquiry is asked about the organiser, approval contact and any presentation or timing needs you specify. Both arrive as clearly labelled briefs, not identical form entries.
What does Speed2Lead cost for a restaurant, and what happens in the trial?
It is $199 USD per month, starting with a 14-day free trial and no credit card required. The trial runs on your real catering and group inquiries for two weeks, so you can read the actual event briefs your manager receives and judge whether the speed and detail win bookings you would previously have answered too late.
