Hi, do you have a table for four tonight around 7:30?

I do. Would you prefer the dining room or patio?

Patio, please. Under Maya.

02 / THE PROBLEM

The rush shouldn’t decide who gets through.

The phone rings at exactly the wrong time: while the host is seating, the floor is moving, and nobody has a free hand. Tableline gives every caller the attention your team wants to give them.

01

7:12 PM

The host is seating a six-top.

The phone rings four times. Nobody gets it.

02

7:13 PM

The guest calls the next restaurant.

There is no complaint, no alert—just an empty space in your book.

03

WITH TABLELINE

The call becomes a reservation.

Your team keeps moving. Your guest gets a table.

03 / HOW IT WORKS

From ringing
to reserved.

One clean flow, built around the way your restaurant already operates. No new screen for the host stand. No double entry after service.

  1. Warm, natural, and trained on your hours, menu, policies, and way of speaking.

  2. Tableline checks capacity, party-size rules, and available times before it promises a table.

  3. It confirms, changes, or cancels the reservation and updates your calendar immediately.

04 / ONE NUMBER. THE WHOLE FRONT DESK.

Not a chatbot
with a phone number.

Tableline is built around the actual calls restaurants receive—and the judgment required to handle them well.

01

New reservations

Checks the right time, party size, seating preference, and guest details before booking.

02

Changes & cancellations

Finds the right booking, updates it cleanly, and releases the table back into availability.

03

Everyday questions

Hours, directions, parking, dress code, dietary questions, large-party policies, and more.

04

Human handoff

When a call needs judgment, empathy, or approval, it routes the context—not just the call.

05 / YOUR RESTAURANT, YOUR RULES

AI should follow your standards—not invent its own.

We map the details that make your restaurant yours: pacing, turn times, blackout windows, table limits, special occasions, and when to bring a human in.

  • Never overbooks beyond your capacity
  • Never guesses when a rule is unclear
  • Never asks your team to re-enter a booking
06 / LAUNCH WITHOUT THE DRAMA

We do the
heavy lifting.

GO LIVE

Keep your number

Calls route quietly in the background. Your guests and staff simply get a better experience.

A GOOD FIT IF—

Your phone rings when your team is least able to answer it.

01You take reservations by phone

02Your host stand gets slammed during service

03You want automation without losing hospitality

04You’re ready to test it on real calls

07 / THE QUESTIONS WE’D ASK TOO

Before you hand it the phone.

Tableline is transparent when asked, but the experience is designed around helpfulness—not pretending to be a person. It speaks naturally, stays on task, and gives callers a clear path to a human when needed.

Yes. Capacity, party-size limits, seating windows, turn times, deposits, special events, and escalation rules are mapped before launch and tested against real scenarios.

It does not improvise. Tableline can take a message, route the call, or flag the conversation for follow-up according to the rules you approve.

No. Your existing number can route calls to Tableline, and your team keeps the operational tools they already use.

Pricing depends on call volume, locations, and the reservation workflow. The short demo gives us enough context to recommend the right pilot—without forcing you into a generic plan.

YOUR NEXT CALL COULD BE HANDLED

Let your staff run the room.
We’ll get the phone.
