About
AutomIAbzh is an AI-powered telephone reception and reservation service for restaurants. It answers incoming calls in French, handles routine questions using each venue’s information and operating rules, and takes table bookings. Restaurant teams can review reservations and update venue information through a web workspace. Call transfers can be configured so callers can be routed to staff when human assistance is needed. The service is aimed at independent restaurants and small restaurant groups in France that want help managing recurring phone inquiries and reservation requests during busy service periods. Setup support and product demonstrations are available by appointment, remotely or on-site when arranged. A 14-day introductory period is available after service activation and onboarding approval, with a 150-minute limit; the setup fee applies.

About
Porchlight is a cloud-based restaurant booking and operations platform for independent pubs, restaurants and cafés. Its AI phone host, Thomas, answers calls and books tables against live availability, with requests it cannot handle passed to staff as callbacks. Phone, website and Google bookings are brought together in one venue diary with a floor plan. The staff app combines rota management, clock-in, payroll-hour records, tips and food-safety checks, giving venues a shared place to manage bookings and day-to-day staff tasks. The service is designed for independent UK hospitality venues that need to handle reservations during busy service as well as when the venue is closed. Thomas recognises regular callers and remembers their usual table. Live at The Kings Head, Tealby since August 2026. Every venue gets a 14-day free trial, and we’ll visit anywhere in the UK to set it up.
