Customer Update & Notification Calls Built for Full-Service Restaurants

{"faqs":[{"answer":"We review list source, consent records, and calling windows before launch. AI voices are treated as artificial voices under the TCPA, requiring prior express consent. Every call includes AI disclosure, keyword opt-outs like STOP and REVOKE are honored immediately, and DNC requests are carried into your DNC records. We also tell you plainly if your list will not support the campaign, before you spend anything.","question":"Can an AI calling service notify our restaurant guests about reservation and event changes without violating TCPA rules?"},{"answer":"Calling starts at 9¢ per connected minute, tiered by volume, and the rate is agreed before launch and never moves mid-campaign. Most campaigns add a one-time campaign setup and a flat monthly management fee, both quoted before launch. There are no per-seat charges, no platform bill, and no minimums you did not choose — and the first campaign review is free.","question":"How much does a guest notification calling campaign cost for a single-location restaurant?"},{"answer":"During setup, we connect your systems so outcomes, bookings, and follow-up requests route back into the CRM and scheduling tools you already run. Hot leads transfer to your team live or land in your CRM, and you receive a named outcome report with disposition codes, per-call notes, a dispositioned contact list, and a completion/coverage report.","question":"How do update-call outcomes get back into our reservation system and CRM?"},{"answer":"It starts with a free campaign review built around one clear goal — what you need the call to accomplish. From there we review your list and consent records, connect your systems, and get your approval on the script, disclosure, opt-out handling, and escalation path. Nothing launches until you approve, and once live, calls run in approved windows with outcomes monitored in real time — typically a short, structured setup rather than a long software implementation.","question":"How long does it take to launch our first guest update campaign?"},{"answer":"Hiring adds labor cost on top of already-thin restaurant margins, and auto-dialers put compliance risk on you. My AI Call Center is a done-for-you managed service — you buy campaigns that we run — with list discipline built in, AI disclosure on every call, opt-outs honored immediately, and a rate locked for the campaign. You get structured calls with real outcome reporting, not indiscriminate cold calling.","question":"Why use a managed calling service instead of hiring more staff or using an auto-dialer for guest notifications?"}],"steps":[{"step":"1","title":"Plan My Campaign","gradient":"from-orange-500 to-red-500","description":"Tell us the one thing you need the call to accomplish — guest notification, event update, hours change — plus your list volume, your relationship to the contacts, and consent records.
