The problem

Every missed enquiry is money walking out the door.

During service, nobody can answer the phone or reply to messages, which is exactly when people want to book a table for tonight. Those bookings go to the restaurant that replied. PocketChats takes them instantly while your team runs the floor.

In your world, every captured booking is covers and spend you'd otherwise lose. You cannot afford to miss them.

  • Booking calls missed during service
  • Repetitive menu, allergen and parking questions
  • Large-party and event enquiries lost
  • No-shows on reserved tables
