How much money is your restaurant losing by not answering calls?
As a restaurant owner or decision maker, you know that hospitality is a business of tight margins and fleeting opportunities. You’ve invested in the best booking engine, you have an exceptional team, and you offer a unique experience. However, if you haven’t yet automated your call and message management, you’re leaving a significant portion of your revenue potential on the table.
It’s not just about the loss from the dreaded no shows, but a more fundamental loss: the money you don’t earn because your team is overwhelmed, your phone is busy, or you can’t respond to messages 24/7. It’s a hidden figure that directly impacts your profitability.
The solution is simple and measurable. We invite you to stop guessing and start measuring.

Three money leaks that automation solves
Your restaurant faces three major challenges that undermine your daily revenue. The good news is that they are entirely avoidable with conversational artificial intelligence.
1. Missed calls during peak hours (the “unanswered telephone”)
How many times have you heard the phone ringing and no one can answer it? During peak service times, your staff is focused on the customer experience in the dining room, and that’s exactly when the most calls come in: customers ready to make a reservation. Every unanswered call is a reservation that goes to the competition. If your customer service is limited by human hours (e.g., 8 hours a day), you are closing the door on customers who try to book at night or early in the morning.
2. The inefficiency of no-shows and late cancellations
A no-show costs you money twice: in lost direct income and in wasted raw materials and staff time. An AI voice system not only allows you to send automatic reminders, but also interacts with the customer to confirm the booking or release it immediately. If a table is cancelled or confirmed as a no-show thanks to AI, that table immediately becomes available again in your booking engine, recovering an opportunity cost that you previously considered lost.
3. The time your team spends on repetitive tasks
Every minute your host or manager spends answering frequently asked questions (“What time do you close?” “Do you have vegan options?”) or managing a simple booking is a minute they are not spending on high-value tasks: improving the dining experience, interacting with customers, or managing internal operations. By automating these interactions with a voice agent and WhatsApp, you are freeing up your team to focus on service, which is the real driver of loyalty and upselling.
Your 5-step plan to quantify potential
Knowing how much you could earn is the first step towards achieving it. Our calculator is designed to give you a clear figure based on your actual trading activity.
1. Measure the leakage: how many unattended reservations do you have?
Be honest with your figures. Consider unanswered calls, late WhatsApp replies, and no-shows. Enter this estimate to quantify your loss of revenue due to inefficiency.
2. Define your opportunity: what is your average ticket?
The value of each lost customer is crucial. Enter your average ticket per diner and the average number of people per booking. This will define the revenue potential you could be recovering with automation.
3. Project your success: what impact would AI voice have?
