AI phone, email and web chat for hospitality

    HorecaHub works across three channels: phone, email and web chat on your own site. The AI picks up on the first or second ring, answers email in your venue’s tone of voice and chats with visitors who are still deciding on a booking. This page collects the per-channel questions: voice quality, transferring to a colleague, multilingual conversations, peak service hours and what happens outside opening times.

    AI phone: calls and answering

    Does AI customer service work over the phone as well?

    Yes. Phone support is a standard part of HorecaHub. The assistant answers calls, speaks naturally with guests, handles reservations or questions, and transfers the call to a staff member when needed. Every call includes a summary afterwards, so your team can see exactly what was agreed.

    How can I let customers make reservations automatically by phone?

    With HorecaHub, your venue’s main phone number is answered by an AI assistant that handles the conversation by voice. The assistant collects the date, time, number of guests and contact details, checks your venue rules and passes the booking to your reservation system or team. Unclear cases are forwarded to a staff member.

    Can the AI answer the phone when my team is busy?

    Yes. HorecaHub can answer all incoming calls, or only calls that go unanswered after a number of rings or during service hours. Guests receive an immediate response instead of a busy tone. The business decides how the setup should work.

    Can the AI phone assistant transfer calls to a staff member?

    Yes. If a conversation needs a person, the assistant can transfer the call or log a callback request together with the question. HorecaHub does this based on rules set by the business, for example for complaints, group bookings or press enquiries. That means the team does not start the conversation without context.

    What does a guest hear when they call?

    The guest hears a natural voice that mentions the business by name and asks how it can help. From there, the conversation works like a normal phone call: the assistant asks questions, repeats the booking details and confirms them. The greeting and voice are configured during setup.

    Can I keep my current phone number?

    Yes. Your existing number stays in use and calls are forwarded to HorecaHub. Guests and search listings therefore do not need to change. If there is any uncertainty about your phone provider, HorecaHub reviews the setup with you at the start to configure call forwarding properly.

    Can the AI handle accents and regional dialects on the phone?

    HorecaHub’s speech recognition is trained on natural phone conversations and recognises regional pronunciation and accents in the supported languages. If the assistant does not understand something properly, it asks for clarification or spells details back instead of guessing. If it remains unclear, the call is transferred to a staff member.

    Does an AI chat widget work on mobile phones?

    Yes, HorecaHub also works in mobile browsers so guests can use the web chat on smartphones and tablets. The chat function runs on your own website and can communicate with guests in multiple languages.

    Which languages can the AI assistant speak with guests in?

    What happens if the connection is poor or there is a lot of background noise?

    The assistant asks the guest to repeat themselves and confirms the key details, such as name, date, time and number of guests. If the conversation still cannot be understood properly, HorecaHub records the phone number and sends the request to your team. An unclear call therefore does not result in an incorrect reservation.
