Sound Familiar?

Every restaurant deals with these problems. Most just accept them. There's a better way.

🍽️

Staff Can't Answer During Service

Friday dinner rush: every server is running, the host is seating, and the phone rings 15 times. Half those calls are reservations you just lost to the restaurant down the block.

🔄

Repetitive Calls Kill Productivity

"What are your hours?" "Do you have gluten-free options?" "Do you take reservations?" Your team answers these 40 times a week instead of serving guests.

🎉

Large Group Bookings Are Chaotic

A party of 18 calls. The host takes a name and number. Nobody follows up. The group shows up expecting a reserved room: and you're scrambling.

🚫

Reservation No-Shows

No-shows during peak hours leave tables empty on your busiest nights. Without reminders, 20–30% of reservations don't show.

How Ava Helps Your Restaurant

Purpose-built for Canadian restaurants, from neighbourhood bistros to multi-location groups.

📞

📅

Real-Time Reservation Booking

🎉

Large Group & Private Event Booking

🍷

Friday Dinner Rush

It's 6:45 PM, every table is full, every server is running. The phone rings 8 times in 20 minutes. Ava answers every call, books available reservations, quotes wait times for walk-ins, and flags urgent callback needs, while your team focuses entirely on the guests in front of them.

Holiday Party Season

November: corporate groups start calling about December holiday party bookings. Ava captures group size, preferred dates, menu requirements, and budget, then routes qualified leads to your events team. You arrive Monday with 6 corporate inquiries ready to close.

🌙

After-Hours Reservation

A couple decides at 11 PM they want to celebrate at your restaurant this weekend. They call, Ava answers, books their table, and sends a confirmation text. Your competitor's voicemail lost that booking.
