Questions people are asking.

Straight answers to what people ask us most before they start.

Will an AI concierge sound like our restaurant or hotel, not a call centre?+

It's configured on your tone and your policies, and reviewed by your team before it goes live. Nothing goes out to a guest that your team hasn't signed off on the wording for.

Does this replace our host stand or front desk?+

No credible use case does. AI handles first response and routine follow-up; a person still runs the floor and handles anything that needs judgment.

How does this fit with our existing reservation or POS system?+

It's built to work alongside the booking and POS tools you already use rather than replace them, so covers and orders still land where your team expects to find them.

What about guest privacy rules?+

Guest contact details are handled under PIPEDA and the applicable provincial privacy rules, and every AI-drafted message is reviewable before it reaches a guest.

How long does a first pilot realistically take?+

Most operators can run a scoped pilot on one workflow, such as phone reservations, in a matter of weeks without disrupting service.
