Private Chefs + HubSpot
The AI receptionist for private chefs that writes straight into HubSpot.
You're cooking dinner for one client. The next event slot is on the line.
How it works
Every call becomes a Note on the right contact in HubSpot — caller name, phone, summary, duration. New callers get auto-created as contacts with the data Foan captured on the call.
Why private chefs miss calls.
Event bookings need same-day quotes.
It's Wednesday evening. Someone is hosting a 14-person dinner at their house on Saturday and has decided they want a private chef instead of cooking themselves. They've found three chefs on Instagram and are messaging or calling each.
You're plating a six-course tasting menu for tonight's client. Phone in your jacket on a hook. By the time service finishes at midnight, two other chefs have replied with menus, prices, and confirmed availability. Saturday is booked. You've missed a £1,200 evening.
Foan picks up in two seconds. Sounds friendly and professional. Asks the right questions: how many guests, when, what kind of meal (intimate dinner, celebration, holiday, dietary needs), do they want you to shop or do they have everything, do they need service staff. Books a brief follow-up call so you can talk through the menu in person.
What you get on day one.
-
Every call answered in two seconds. No queue, no missed-call voicemails, no "we'll get back to you tomorrow".
-
Calls flow into HubSpot automatically. No copy-paste from notepad. Whatever HubSpot expects, Foan writes.
-
UK phone number included. Take a new line or forward your existing business number. Either way, Foan picks up.
-
Text or WhatsApp the second the call ends. You're on a job, you don't pick up — Foan does the work and tells you what was said.
Ready in 10 minutes.
Plans from £49/mo. Cancel any time. Number forwarding works on the existing line you already pay for.
Frequently asked
Does Foan really work for private chefs using HubSpot?
Yes. Event bookings need same-day quotes. Foan answers calls live, qualifies them by asking the questions a private chef would ask, and writes the outcome into your HubSpot automatically. There's nothing for you to copy across.
How does Foan + HubSpot compare to hiring a receptionist?
A part-time receptionist costs around £1,800/mo and only covers business hours. Foan picks up 24/7 in two seconds, never misses a call during peak, and starts at £49/mo. Everything ends up in HubSpot the same way a human assistant would log it — except instantly and without typos.
What if a caller asks a question Foan doesn't know the answer to?
Foan is configured with your business hours, services, prices and FAQs the moment it's set up — we scan your website automatically. For anything genuinely unknown, the agent admits it doesn't know, takes the caller's contact details, and pings you so you can ring back. Better than voicemail, every time.
How quickly can I get this live with HubSpot?
Under 10 minutes. Sign up, connect HubSpot via OAuth (one click), pick a UK phone number, point your existing business line at it. Foan starts answering on the next ring.
