RESTAURANT RESERVATIONS · Workflow idea

Help callers find a table while keeping reservation details accurate and private.

For a restaurant that has authorized this service, collect the caller’s requested time, party size, and necessary contact details, check current availability, and create a reservation only after the caller confirms the details. Provide approved restaurant information and clearly route unavailable, ambiguous, or special requests to staff. Limit stored personal details and protect reservation records from unauthorized access.
