An AI receptionist for restaurants that answers even mid-rush

Eight in the evening, a full dining room, and the phone rings just as the dishes leave the kitchen — who has a free hand? AlloKoli gives your restaurant an AI receptionist that answers 24/7 in natural Hebrew: it books tables, takes take-away orders and answers menu and opening-hours questions, based on the menu and details you give it. And it never pretends: it introduces itself as a voice assistant at the start of every call.

The problem, concretely

During the rush, nobody has a hand free for the phone

When the room is full and the kitchen is firing, the phone rings behind the bar and nobody picks up. The caller who wanted a table tonight doesn't try twice — he books at the place across the street. The hours when a missed call hurts most are exactly the hours when no one can answer.

Tables are still booked by phone — right when you're slammed

Most diners still pick up the phone to book a table: a one-minute call, a question about timing, done. But those calls pile up on busy evenings, on weekends and just after Shabbat ends, when everyone dials at once. Every booking call that goes unanswered is a table sitting empty.

The same questions all day: kosher? terrace? open tonight?

A big share of a restaurant's calls aren't bookings at all — they're the same questions on repeat: kashrut, outdoor seating, parking, holiday hours. Each answer pulls someone off the floor mid-service. Handling them all day is a full-time job no restaurant has a spare person for.

Take-away orders scribbled on a notepad, between two trays

A phone order needs full attention: dishes, extras, a name, a pickup time. Taken in a hurry, mistakes creep in — a forgotten dish, a time nobody wrote down, a customer standing at the counter with no order. And on a packed evening the call often isn't answered at all, so the order goes to whoever did pick up.

How it works

  1. Describe your restaurant — and paste in your menu

    You tell AlloKoli about your restaurant in a plain conversation — opening hours, kashrut if relevant, how you handle reservations — and paste your menu as text, dishes and prices. No forms, no tech skills; your restaurant's assistant is ready in about 5 minutes.

  2. Test it by chat, like a hungry customer

    Before it takes a single real call, you open a chat and act like a diner: ask for a table for four at nine, ask what's vegetarian, place a take-away order. An answer that doesn't sit right? Fix it on the spot, until it sounds like part of your team.

  3. Get your number — and the restaurant's phone is covered

    You get an included phone number, no telecom paperwork. If your regulars know your old line, call forwarding simply sends it to the assistant. From the first evening every call is answered — and every table, order or message reaches you as a tidy summary.

Frequently asked questions

Can it really take table reservations?

Yes — that's its bread and butter. It asks how many guests, for what time and under which name, and notes special requests like a high chair or outdoor seating. If you connect Google Calendar, each reservation lands in it as a new event during the call itself. Large groups or private events? It transfers those to you.

Does it know my menu?

It knows exactly what you gave it. When you create your agent you paste your menu as text — dishes, prices, what's vegetarian or gluten-free if you note it — and from then on it answers from that menu. It won't invent a dish you don't serve. Menu changed? Update the text and it's current.

What happens on a packed evening when all the lines are busy?

With a voice assistant there's no busy signal. It answers every call, even when several customers ring at the same moment — no hold music, no “try again later”. You keep serving, and after each call you get a clear summary of what was booked or ordered.

Can it take take-away orders too?

Yes. It writes the order down from your menu — dishes, quantities, a name and a pickup time — and sends you a tidy summary the moment the call ends, ready to pass to the kitchen. Worth knowing: it isn't wired into your till or delivery apps — the order comes to you, and you decide what to do with it.

How much does it cost for a restaurant?

You start free: a 7-day trial with 30 minutes of real calls, no credit card. After that, plans start at 199 ₪ per month (before VAT), phone number included — less than a single hostess shift per month, and far less than a human answering service for restaurants billed per call.

Many of my customers are tourists — can it answer in English?

Yes, as a paid add-on. The default is natural Hebrew; for restaurants with a tourist crowd you can add English or French, so a visitor calling to book a table gets an answer in their own language. In every language, the agent introduces itself as a voice assistant at the start of the call.
