Yelp Host
Yelp Host is an AI-powered phone-assistant platform built for restaurants that ensures no customer call goes unanswered by professionally handling incoming calls around the clock. It can answer questions from guests, book and modify reservations, provide real-time wait-time updates, block spam calls, gather special requests, and send follow-up texts with menus or links, all without needing a human agent. The system comes pre-trained on a rich dataset of restaurant-specific knowledge, integrates with the venue’s operations, and offers seamless support whether staff are busy, closed, or occupied on-site. With Yelp Host restaurants can enhance guest experience by delivering fast and accurate responses via phone, reduce missed leads, streamline reservation workflows, and free up staff to focus on service rather than phone handling.

Otto
Otto is an AI phone assistant built specifically for hospitality, designed to answer every call, take food orders, manage reservations, and handle customer enquiries while freeing staff to focus on guests inside the venue. Rather than acting as a simple answering service, Otto becomes an always-on digital team member that manages phone conversations naturally, captures complete orders, books tables, answers common questions, and routes more complex situations when needed. It works with a venue’s existing phone number and integrates with CRM, ordering, and kitchen workflows so every interaction becomes part of normal operations instead of another manual task. Otto is configured in each venue’s own brand voice, allowing restaurants, cafés, bars, and takeaway businesses to maintain a consistent customer experience while using AI.
