Turn missed restaurant calls into reservations with a voice agent across every location

who Côte Brasserie, a 70-restaurant UK chain (enterprise example, vendor customer story)

What it does

A PolyAI voice agent named 'Joe' answers 24/7, makes, changes and cancels reservations, and answers questions about locations, the loyalty program and dietary requests. A single restaurant can copy this with a smaller voice agent tied to its booking system.
