A ringing phone at eight on a Friday is a table trying to give you money. Vox picks up on the first ring, books against what is actually free, and hands over to a person the moment a call stops being ordinary.
Live in Australia · pilots in new markets
Bookings ship today for Australian restaurants. Outside Australia this is a pilot: your venue, your line, a live demonstration before any commitment.
Restaurants lose bookings for one plain reason: the phone rings when the whole team is on the floor. Voicemail does not take a table; the caller simply tries the next place.
Every missed call during service is a cover that walks. Multiply an ordinary miss rate by an ordinary week and it stops being an anecdote.
Vox answers, understands what the caller wants, checks the diary and writes the booking — then confirms. Anything unusual is passed to your team on your own line.
A natural voice, any hour, no hold music.
Bookings are written against what is actually free — no double-bookings.
Name, party size, time, notes — read back before the call ends.
Large groups, allergies, complaints: a person on your line, not a script.
Warm, unhurried, and honest that it is an AI when it answers.
The outcome is a reservation in the diary, not a voicemail to return.
Overflow, after-close and mid-service peaks are the point, not a nice-to-have.
Transcripts and outcomes in one place, so you know what the phone did.
The café phone, answered while you are on the machine.
Every order picked up, even when the kitchen is on the floor.
Yes — Vox says so when it answers. Diners care more that someone competent picked up than that a human left them on hold.
No. Vox answers the phone and writes the booking into the flow you run. It is the receptionist you do not have, not a new system to learn.
A short conversation about your venue and call volume, then Vox on a test line so you hear it handle a call like yours. Commercial terms are agreed per pilot.
