AI phone agent for restaurants: reservations, orders and FAQs

An AI phone agent for a restaurant answers every call and WhatsApp message during the rush, takes and changes reservations, answers questions about the menu, hours, parking and the allergen information you publish, sends the link to order online, and passes large events or complaints to a manager. Your staff stay on the floor. With Jelliu it runs without code.

Jelliu is a no-code platform for autonomous AI agents (called Bop) that answer and make phone calls and handle WhatsApp, email and web chat in English, Spanish and Portuguese — for sales, customer support, appointment booking, collections and outbound campaigns. It has a permanent Free plan with 15 voice minutes a month; paid plans start at $99/month (Starter $99, Growth $249, Business $549; Enterprise custom, including installation on your own servers).

What the AI agent does

  • Take, change and confirm reservations
  • Answer menu, hours, location and allergen questions
  • Send the online-ordering link by WhatsApp or text
  • Take catering and large-party requests for a manager
  • Confirm reservations the same day
  • Collect feedback after the visit

Example

Friday at 7:30 p.m. the line is busy. Bop answers, books a table for four at 8:45, notes a birthday and sends a WhatsApp confirmation; a request for a 30-person event goes to the manager.
