The AI receptionist for restaurants and cafés
The phone rings hardest during service. Nimble answers every call, books tables and group bookings, and handles the questions your team gets asked all night.
The calls you're missing
- Reservation calls during the dinner rush
- Group bookings and function enquiries that need details taken
- The same questions about hours, parking and dietary options
Booking types Nimble sets up for you
- Table reservation
- Group booking
- Function / event enquiry
Rename them or add your own. Urgent situations — like a supplier or staff member who needs the manager — can go straight through to a person instead.

With party size, time and any notes.

Questions from restaurants and cafés
Can Nimble take function and event enquiries?
Yes. It captures the date, number of guests and what the customer is planning, and passes the enquiry to you to follow up.
Can it answer questions about our menu?
Yes — using the menu, dietary and opening-hours information you give it.
Can I keep my existing business number?
Yes. Keep your number and forward calls to Nimble — all of them, only after hours, or only when you don't pick up. Or use a new Nimble number if you'd rather.
Will callers know they're talking to an AI?
Your receptionist introduces itself as your AI receptionist and keeps the conversation natural. Anyone who'd rather speak to a person can be transferred or have a callback arranged, following your rules.
