Restaurants + SevenRooms
The AI receptionist for restaurants that writes straight into SevenRooms.
Friday night booking enquiries hit at 6pm exactly when the kitchen is firing. Nobody can take them.
How it works
Foan books reservations and tags VIP guests in SevenRooms based on what they say on the call.
Why restaurants miss calls.
Service is busy, the phone rings, nobody can stop. Tomorrow's covers go to the restaurant that answered.
Friday, 7.04pm. A woman is organising a birthday dinner for her husband. Eight of them, this Saturday, somewhere nice. She has three places shortlisted and rings them in order. Yours is first.
Service has just kicked off. Your front of house is at table nine explaining the specials. The phone rings six times and stops. She rings the next place down. They pick up within two rings, take the booking, and just earned £640 plus the wine spend.
Foan picks up the second the phone rings, in a voice that sounds like your host. Asks the date, the time, the party size, dietary requirements, the occasion. Confirms the booking, drops it into OpenTable or SevenRooms or your diary, and texts your manager so anyone walking into a packed restaurant tomorrow already knows what to expect.
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 SevenRooms automatically. No copy-paste from notepad. Whatever SevenRooms 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 £199/mo. Cancel any time. Number forwarding works on the existing line you already pay for.
Frequently asked
Does Foan really work for restaurants using SevenRooms?
Yes. Service is busy, the phone rings, nobody can stop. Tomorrow's covers go to the restaurant that answered. Foan answers calls live, qualifies them by asking the questions a restaurant would ask, and writes the outcome into your SevenRooms automatically. There's nothing for you to copy across.
How does Foan + SevenRooms 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 £199/mo. Everything ends up in SevenRooms 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 SevenRooms?
Under 10 minutes. Sign up, connect SevenRooms via OAuth (one click), pick a UK phone number, point your existing business line at it. Foan starts answering on the next ring.
