For most restaurants, the phone is still the first touchpoint with guests. But answering every call, especially during peak service or after-hours, is nearly impossible. Missed calls mean missed covers.
That’s why we’re excited to share that Slang AI has partnered with Yelp. This new integration makes it seamless for guests to book Yelp reservations directly over the phone, 24/7, while freeing up staff to focus on in-person hospitality.
Reservations, Captured Instantly With the Slang AI + Yelp integration, restaurants have more chances to book reservations, regardless of staff availability.
Here’s how it works:
A guest calls your restaurant Slang AI answers the call, books the reservations in real-time Slang AI passes over booking details to Yelp Reservations Between after-hours and overlapping calls, data shows that restaurants could be missing out on up to $212,000 annually per location . With automated phone handling, restaurants can go from missed calls to more incremental revenue.
Smarter Insights, Better Decisions Hospitality leaders need data to drive growth. With Slang AI + Yelp, you’ll see exactly how many reservations Slang AI captures by phone, along with guest preferences, covers booked, and after-hours trends.
