Industries

Speaks the language of your business.

A salon books appointments for clients. A restaurant takes reservations for guests. A plumber books service visits. Your receptionist knows the difference from day one.

Example calls

Hear it in your line of work.

A closer look at how your receptionist handles a typical call in four kinds of business.

Salons & barbershops

Keep your hands on the chair, not the phone

Your receptionist books appointments for the service your client wants, with the stylist they prefer, and answers the questions you hear twenty times a day.

  • Booking, moving and cancelling appointments
  • Asks which service and which stylist
  • Answers questions about walk-ins, hours and services
  • Books straight into your Google Calendar

Plumbers, electricians, heating and cooling, roofers and more. Your receptionist gets the address, what's wrong and how urgent it is, then books a service visit or flags it for you right away.

  • Asks how urgent it is and flags emergencies
  • Books service visits or estimate requests
  • Can transfer urgent calls to your team

Home services & trades

Example call

  1. Caller

    My water heater is leaking all over the garage.

  2. Ava

    I'm sorry, let's get someone out to you. What's the address, and is the water still running right now?

  3. Caller

    It's 42 Oak Street. I shut the valve off.

  4. Ava

    Good thinking. I've marked this as urgent and passed it to the team so they can call you right back.

Restaurants

Answer the phone even on your busiest night

Your receptionist takes reservations, notes party size and special occasions, and answers questions about your hours, menu and parking, so your staff can focus on the guests in front of them.

  • Takes reservations with party size and notes
  • Answers hours, menu and location questions
  • Passes large-party requests to your team
  • Sends you every reservation with the details

    Around 7, under Patel.

  4. Ava

    You're all set: a table for six on Friday at 7:00 under Patel. I've noted it's a birthday.
