The problem

A ringing phone during service is a bad trade-off.

Answers during service

Aila takes the call, service or no service, so a full dining room never costs you a booking.

The problem

Bookings are easy to get wrong by hand.

Takes bookings

Aila checks live availability and books straight into your system.

The problem

A wrong allergen answer costs more than a missed call.

Knows your menu

Aila draws on your actual menu, allergen data and venue details.

The problem

The calls you miss are worth the most.

Covers after closing

Aila answers around the clock, so the 11pm enquiry is handled like the 1pm one.

Your calls, taken seriously

Built for guest-facing venues.

Guest data, payment details and dietary information deserve the same care on the phone as at the table.
Aila is built with the same care you already apply.

Compliance and data handling

  • UK-hosted, with data encrypted in transit and at rest
  • Every call logged, ready if a complaint needs looking into
  • Allergen and dietary information handled to UK GDPR standards
  • Conversations are never used to train third-party AI models

Guest ID and verification

  • Confirms a booking against the name or reference on file before changing it
  • Large parties, corporate accounts and payments get an extra check
  • If Aila can’t confirm who she’s speaking to, she offers a callback

A person, when it matters

  • Complaints, VIP guests and accessibility requests go straight to a person
  • Whoever picks up gets the booking and the context first
  • A live handover if someone’s free, a clear summary if not
