Answer every table booking, every time
Ella answers every call for restaurants, 24 hours a day — no rings, no hold music.
A missed call is a booking someone else answers instead.
Example call
Caller
Could our team fit in a table for 6 this Saturday at 7:30pm?Friday and Saturday dinner service is exactly when a restaurant gets the most booking calls and has the least spare staff to answer them — pulling a waiter off the floor to take a reservation call costs real table-turn time. Ella takes the booking instead: table size, date, time, and any dietary requirements or large-group requests, checked against real availability rather than guessed. Menu and opening-hours questions are answered instantly rather than put on hold, and phone orders are handled the same way — confirming each item and modification back to the caller before the order is placed, never inventing a menu item or price that isn't real.
Where restaurants phone lines actually break down
Three real problems, and what Ella actually does about each one.
Friday/Saturday dinner service is exactly when booking calls peak and staff are least free to answer them.
Ella takes the booking without pulling a waiter off the floor.
A phone order can misquote a price or invent a menu item that doesn't exist.
Every item and modification is read back and confirmed before the order is placed — never an invented item or price.
Large-group and dietary-requirement requests get left for staff to chase up separately.
Group size and dietary requirements are captured as part of the booking itself.

How Ella changes the day for the people actually running a restaurants business.
Venue Manager
Reviews every booking and phone order in one place instead of scattered handwritten notes by the till.
Owner
Keeps tables and phone orders full during dinner rush without adding phone-answering headcount.
Front of House
Ella absorbs the booking-call load during service so staff stay on the floor.
What would this actually cost you?
Move the slider to your real call volume — every number below is either a published restaurants plan price or a named assumption, never an estimate we can't show our working for.
ZyncoAI — real plan
$249/month
Growth plan — 600 minutes/month, real published price.
Traditional receptionist
$5,417–$6,250/month
Based on a $65,000–$75,000/year AUD wage — a typical Australian admin/reception award range, not a quote.
At this volume: $62,012–$72,012 AUD/year difference between the Growth plan and the traditional-receptionist wage assumption above — the raw arithmetic, not a marketing percentage.
A real receptionist and Ella aren't a like-for-like swap — this compares call-answering cost only, using the two figures shown above.
