How it sounds

  1. Sofia

    Hi, you've reached Restaurant Havnen. You're speaking with Sofia, the restaurant's AI assistant. How can I help?

  2. Customer

    We're twelve for a birthday next month. Can you take us?

  3. Sofia

    We can certainly talk about that. Which date did you have in mind?

  4. Customer

    Saturday the 14th, in the evening.

  5. Sofia

    Thank you. I'll send your request to the restaurant, and they'll call you back tomorrow.

What Sofia handles for the restaurant

  • Table requests

    She takes requests for a table with date, time and number of guests and sends them to you, so you confirm.

  • Groups and parties

    She takes the enquiry with date and numbers, so you can call back with an offer.

  • Opening hours, address and menu

    She answers from what you've given her.

  • Allergies

    She only answers from your own information. If she doesn't know, she doesn't guess; she passes the question on to you.

  • Four languages

    She answers in Danish and switches to Swedish, Norwegian or English by herself when the caller speaks it.

  • Transfers

    If the caller asks to speak to you, she puts them through during opening hours.

We don't store any audio recordings of the calls, and our servers are in Germany, in the EU.

Two ways to use Sofia

Only when you can't answer

The phone rings at your place as always. If nobody picks up within a few rings, or you're closed, Sofia answers.

All the way

Sofia takes every call and handles what she can. If the caller wants to talk to you, she transfers the call during opening hours.

How to forward your number

What restaurants ask

Can Sofia reserve tables?

She takes the request for a table with date, time and number of guests and sends it to you. You confirm the table with the guest yourselves.

Can she answer questions about allergies?

Only from the information you've given her. If she doesn't know, she doesn't guess; she passes the question on to you.

What about calls in the middle of dinner service?

That's exactly where she helps: if nobody picks up within a few rings, Sofia answers, so the kitchen and the waiters can stay with the guests.

What does it cost?

From 995 DKK a month excluding VAT for about 150 calls (300 minutes). No lock-in, and setup costs the same as one month.
