AI Front Desk

Don't miss a call when you are busy.

Keep your phone number. When you cannot answer, at break time or in the peak rush, the call goes to the AI instead of ringing out. It knows your hours, menu and booking rules, and takes the booking or a takeaway order for you.

The problem

The phone rings when you are busiest.

Peak time

In the dinner rush nobody can leave the floor to pick up. The guest calls the next place.

Break time

Between lunch and dinner there is nobody at the counter, but the phone still rings.

After hours, nobody answers

People plan dinner at night and in the morning. When you are closed, the call rings out.

How it works

A call, start to finish.

1

The guest calls your number

Same number as always. Your phone rings first, and only when nobody picks up does the AI answer.

2

The AI understands

It listens like a person would and answers from what you told it about your shop.

3

It checks your tables

It follows your booking rules: opening hours, party size and how far ahead people can book.

4

You see it in Dowoomi

The booking, the call summary and the transcript are in your inbox.

What it handles

Everything a good host says on the phone.

Bookings

New bookings any time of day. On Plus it confirms the table during the call. Groups over your limit come to you as a request.

Takeaway ordersBeta

The guest orders from your menu over the phone, and the order comes to you to prepare.

Questions about your shop

Hours, location, parking, menu, BYO and dietary needs, from the facts you write once.

Five languages on Plus

English, Japanese, Korean, Mandarin and Cantonese.

Better with Dowoomi Team

Your roster tells the AI who to tell.

Front Desk reads your Dowoomi Team roster, so the right people hear about a call without you passing it on.

See Dowoomi Team
  • Alerts go to the staff on shift

    A new call pushes to you and to whoever is rostered on right now, not the whole team.

  • A heads-up before service

    15 minutes before you open, the staff working that service see how many calls are waiting.

  • Managers can handle calls

    Your managers and supervisors call guests back and confirm bookings, not only you.

FAQ

Questions owners ask.

Does it answer every call?

Not yet. Today your phone rings as usual and the AI picks up only when your team cannot. A full AI front desk that answers every call first is coming soon.

Do I need a new phone number?

No. Keep your number. We turn on call forwarding for when nobody answers, so guests still call the number they know.

Does it sound like a robot?

It speaks naturally and keeps the call short. Book a demo and hear it answer for your own shop.

What if it cannot answer something?

It takes a message and you see it in your Dowoomi inbox, so you can call the guest back.

What happens when I use all my minutes?

The AI keeps answering. Extra minutes are A$0.40 each on your next invoice, and we email you at 80%, 90% and 100%.

Do I need Dowoomi Team?

No, but it is better together: the same account runs your roster and your bookings.

I am on Dowoomi Team Pro. Is there a free option?

Yes. Team Pro includes AI Voicemail for every shop of the company: the AI answers missed calls, 30 minutes a month, free for 6 months from the day it goes live, then A$10 a month. Need more minutes? Move to Lite or Plus any time.
