Restaurant: Web Reservations + No-Show Reduction
Problem: a restaurant wants an easy way for website visitors to make reservations, and wants to cut no-shows with reminder calls.
What you’ll set up: a web-widget agent for new reservations, backed by a Knowledge Base of house rules, plus an Outbound Workflow run to confirm the next day’s bookings.
- Build a “Reservations” workflow with a prompt that asks for party size, date, time, and any dietary notes, capturing them as properties (
partySize,reservationDate,dietaryNotes, plus the seededcallerName/phoneNumber/email/reservationId). - Upload your restaurant’s hours, cancellation policy, and menu highlights to the Knowledge Base so the agent can answer questions like “Are you open on Sundays?” accurately.
- Deploy to Web, whitelisting your restaurant’s domain, with
position: bottom-rightandtitle: "Book a Table". Paste the generated script into your website. - Add a Result Generation action so every confirmed reservation shows up cleanly in your Result Dashboard.
- Each afternoon, use Outbound Workflow to call everyone booked for the next day: export tomorrow’s reservations as a CSV with a
phone_numbercolumn, upload it, and schedule the run for 5:00 PM using a short “Confirming your reservation for tomorrow” workflow.
Result: website visitors can book a table by voice at any hour, and tomorrow’s diners get a same-day confirmation call — cutting no-shows without staff having to make the calls themselves.
