AI phone answering for restaurants

Your Kitchen Is Busy. Your Phone Should Not Slow You Down.

During peak hours, every phone call means pulling a host, server, or manager off the floor. That is a guest waiting longer for their check, a table that does not get turned, or a server distracted from the dining room. The phone rings during the dinner rush, and nobody can answer it -- because everyone is doing exactly what they should be doing: taking care of guests.

But every missed call is a missed reservation, a lost takeout order, or a customer who calls the restaurant down the street instead. For a busy restaurant, those missed calls during Friday and Saturday dinner service add up to thousands of dollars in lost revenue every month.

NetworkSIP answers every call instantly, handling reservations, takeout orders, menu questions, and catering inquiries simultaneously -- while your team stays focused on the dining room.

How Restaurants Use NetworkSIP

Every call answered. Every guest served. At the same time.

Reservation Management

Your AI receptionist checks table availability in real time and books reservations for guests. It handles party size, seating preferences, dietary restrictions, and special requests -- birthdays, anniversaries, high chairs, patio seating -- then sends a confirmation text with the date, time, and any notes.

  • Checks real-time table availability and books reservations
  • Handles party size, seating preferences, and special requests
  • Sends SMS confirmation to guests immediately
  • Manages modifications and cancellations automatically

Takeout and Delivery Orders

When customers call to place a takeout or delivery order, the AI walks through your menu, takes the order, reads it back for accuracy, provides estimated pickup or delivery times, and sends an order confirmation via text. Your kitchen gets the order ticket without anyone on your team touching a phone.

  • Takes orders directly from your menu
  • Reads back orders for accuracy before confirming
  • Provides estimated pickup and delivery times
  • Sends order confirmation via text message

Menu Questions and Hours

Customers call with the same questions every day: What time do you open? Do you have outdoor seating? Are there gluten-free options? What are today's specials? Your AI receptionist answers all of these questions accurately and consistently, freeing your staff from repetitive calls.

  • Answers questions about hours, location, and parking
  • Handles dietary and allergen inquiries
  • Describes daily specials when updated in the system
  • Provides information about menu items and ingredients

Event and Catering Inquiries

Catering and event inquiries are high-value calls that often come in during your busiest times. NetworkSIP captures all the details -- event date, guest count, dietary needs, budget, and contact information -- then routes the inquiry to your catering manager or events team for a personalized follow-up.

  • Captures event details including date, guest count, and needs
  • Provides basic catering menu and pricing information
  • Routes high-value inquiries to the catering manager
  • Schedules follow-up calls for large events
