Voice AI for full dining rooms and zero missed reservations

Restaurants lose up to 15% of revenue to unanswered phones during service. TelEcho's AI voice agent answers every call instantly, takes reservations, handles takeout orders, and answers FAQs—so your team can focus on the guests in the room.

The Problem

Every unanswered call is a table you'll never fill

During service, your team can't answer the phone. Before service, they're prepping. After hours, no one's there at all. Guests who can't get through don't leave a message — they book somewhere else.

Phones ringing during service

Your staff are serving tables, not sitting by the phone. Guests calling during the dinner rush go to voicemail — and rarely call back.

No after-hours coverage

Most restaurant bookings are made in the evening, after your team has gone home. Without coverage, you're handing those reservations to a competitor.

Repetitive questions stealing time

"Do you have parking?" "Is there a kids' menu?" "Can we bring our own wine?" These calls interrupt service and don't need a person to answer them.

Event and large party leads lost

A private dining enquiry or a party of 20 can be worth thousands. If they call during a busy Saturday service and nobody picks up, that business walks.
