We solve your problems
Losing catering leads to voicemail?
Catering calls are high-value, but they come at random times. Allo captures every inquiry with full details — event type, guest count, budget, date — and flags them for follow-up. No more leads dying in a voicemail box.
Staff wasting time on spam and sales calls?
Your host shouldn't be fielding calls from payment processors and linen services during a busy shift. Allo blocks spam and vendor calls so your team only picks up for real guests.
Missing calls during the dinner rush?
When the dining room is packed and the kitchen is firing, no one can answer the phone. Allo picks up every call, takes reservation requests, and answers guest questions — so you never lose a booking because your hands were full.
No idea what callers wanted?
Voicemails are vague. "Hi, calling about a reservation..." doesn't tell you much. Allo asks the right questions, logs the details, and gives you a clear summary — party of 12, Saturday at 7, patio preferred, one gluten-free.
