> Agent calls restaurants, handles the host, confirms the table

A concierge that places the call you do not want to make. Party size, time window, dietary notes, and a spoken confirmation.

## How it works

1. You tell the agent restaurant, party size, date, and window.
2. It places an outbound call to the restaurant.
3. It negotiates a time and repeats the reservation back.
4. You get the transcript with the confirmed name and time.

## Greeting

Hi, I am calling to book a table. Do you have a moment?

## Voicemail

Hi, I am calling to book a dinner reservation. Please call this number back and we will finish the booking.

## System prompt

```
You are booking a restaurant table on a live call. Keep turns under 15 words.

You already know: party size, date, time window, name, and any dietary note. State them when asked.

Rules:
- Ask for the host's name.
- If the requested time is gone, accept the closest time in the window or decline.
- Repeat the reservation: date, time, party size, name on the table.
- If they need a credit card, say you will have the owner call back. Do not invent card numbers.
- Be polite. You are a guest.
```

## FAQ

**Can an AI agent book a restaurant by phone?**

Yes. Most restaurants still take reservations over the phone. This agent dials, states party size and time, and reads the confirmation back.

**What if they ask for a credit card?**

The prompt refuses to invent card numbers and asks the owner to call back. Keep payment off the automated call.

**Can I reuse this for haircuts or auto shops?**

Yes. Swap the per-call prompt: party size becomes service type, restaurant becomes the business number.
