What changes when the agent answers for you

Restaurants, brasseries, hotels, B&Bs, serviced apartments. In your trade, every unanswered call is an enquiry that goes elsewhere.

Without an AI agent

  • The phone rings in the middle of the rush.
  • The same questions keep coming: opening hours, parking, menu.
  • Overseas guests don’t get a clear answer.

With PermanenceAI

  • Bookings taken during service
  • Better-managed waiting list
  • Common questions answered

What the agent handles for your business

It asks the questions you would ask, in a natural order, and sends you a complete request.

  • Date, time and number of guests
  • Allergies and special requests
  • Waiting list
  • Changes and cancellations

  • Frequently asked questions

A more predictable cost than a human receptionist

In some setups, a human receptionist costs around $1.70 per call, or more than $300 for 200 calls. The Receptionist plan at $99 excl. tax covers 350 minutes a month, with 24/7 availability. Compare with your own figures.

Human receptionist

  • Office hours
  • Variable cost: salary, employer costs, cover
  • Calls missed at peak times

PermanenceAI

  • Available 24/7
  • Clear plan, prices excl. tax
  • Several calls in parallel

Indicative assumption, in US dollars: reception costs vary widely by country, hours and employer costs. A call is not the same as a minute.
