# AI Reservation Assistant for Restaurants — Host | Semperi

> Host answers guest questions from your menu and hours, then guides them to the booking tool or checkout you already use. Host is an assistant, not the booking engine.

## What Host handles
- **A clear answer to the next question** — Hours, menu details, dietary options, and ordering questions can be answered from what is true about your restaurant.
- **One direct path to order** — Host guides a guest from a question to the right menu, cart, checkout, or request form.
- **Knows your place inside out** — Do you have vegan options? Is the patio open? Parking? Host answers from verified restaurant facts and hands off anything uncertain.
- **Talks the way you do** — Friendly, on-brand, unmistakably your place — not a cold robot reading from a script. Guests feel taken care of from the very first message.
- **Clear handoffs when judgment matters** — A big party, a special request, or anything sensitive comes to you with the context attached.
- **Keeps answers consistent across channels** — Connected channels use the same verified restaurant facts and handoff rules instead of separate, conflicting answers.

## By the numbers
- **Every answer** — From your own menu, hours, and policies
- **One path** — From the first question to the booking
- **Every hard ask** — Comes to you with the conversation

## How Host guides the guest journey
01. **A guest asks before booking** — The question lands on your website — hours, the patio, a nut allergy, a table for eight on Saturday.
02. **Host answers on the spot** — Host answers from your own menu, hours, and policies, then walks the guest to your reservation system or the checkout.
03. **Host hands you the rest** — A 30-top, a sensitive complaint, an answer nobody has written yet — it comes to you with the whole conversation attached.

## Turn interest into action
Host removes the uncertainty between finding your restaurant and taking the next step, without pretending every request should be automated.

- Questions answered from verified restaurant facts
- A direct route to menu, cart, and checkout

- Sensitive and uncertain requests handed to you

## FAQ
**Does Host answer guests without me?**

Host answers routine questions — hours, the patio, dietary options, where to order — from the restaurant facts you set. Anything sensitive, unusual, or unsupported stops there and comes to you with the whole conversation attached.

**Can Host actually take a booking, or does it just chat?**

Host is the front desk, not a booking engine. It answers the question, then walks the guest the last step — into your ordering journey, which runs end to end today, or to the booking tool you connect. What it can finish there depends on that connection.

**We already run a booking tool. Do we have to switch?**

No. Host does not replace the booking tool you run. It sits in front of it: the guest asks, Host answers from your own facts, and a routine table request goes to the tool you connect. Anything Host cannot finish comes to you instead of a guess.

**What does this cost?**

Host comes with the Starter plan — one flat price per location, not a fee per cover or per booking. The scan and the report stay free either way; plans are on the pricing page.

**Does Host answer the phone?**

No. Host works on the guest channels you connect, starting with your Semperi website and the ordering journey — chat and messages, not your phone line. Coverage grows with each channel you connect, and every channel answers from the same restaurant facts.

**What if it tells a guest something that isn't true?**

Host can only say what is real about your restaurant — a dish on your menu, your actual hours, a policy you set. If a detail isn't there to back it up, Host doesn't guess. The question comes to you, so no guest is promised a table you don't have.
