Four reasons operators choose Slang AI

Proven at scale

2,000+ restaurant locations live and 25M+ real calls in our training data, 40x more than Hostie. We've encountered and solved situations that early-stage platforms haven't seen yet.

Built for accuracy

Our AI won't give guests wrong hours, invent menu items, or hallucinate availability. Slang AI's accuracy guarantees are backed by 25 million real restaurant calls. Hostie has no published accuracy guarantee.

Enterprise integrations

The deepest OpenTable, SevenRooms, Tripleseat, and Fishbowl support in the category. We're the only voice AI Fishbowl partner, and our OpenTable integration serves more restaurants than any partner in the world.

Backed to last

$68M in total funding including a $36M Series B led by US Venture Partners. That is more than 2x Hostie, Loman, and Revmo combined. In a category that's about to consolidate, platform stability matters.

What our customers say

We made over six hundred grand in additional reservation revenue since installing Slang over 11 months. We have 13x ROI on reservations alone... And we were also able to save $2,000 a month on host labor."

Alexios Milioulis
VP of Marketing, DineAmic Hospitality

Our CSAT score so far with the OpenTable integration call experience is really, really high. Our caller satisfaction is at 96% for the last 90 days."

Jad Izzedin
Executive Brand Director, Texas de Brazil

Because of the OpenTable integrations and the Tripleseat integrations, I'm able to see in the last 36 hours, we've booked seven OpenTable reservations and generated one real qualified private event lead via Slang."
