One booking layer
Availability, holds and the guest record are shared with WhatsApp, the website and the floor — the voice line reads and writes the same single source of truth.
Voice Concierge · AI phone concierge
RAYN answers the phone in your venue’s voice, around the clock — the calls you’d otherwise miss after hours, on hold, or when the floor is slammed. It checks live availability, books the table, greets regulars by name, and hands the moment to your team when it matters.
CallerGood evening — I’d like to bring four in this evening. Is the terrace free?
RAYNLet me look for you. I can seat four on the Garden terrace at 8:15, or the window bar at 8:30 — which suits you?
CallerThe terrace would be lovely.
RAYNBooked — a terrace booth for four at 8:15, under Amira. Your confirmation is on its way by text.

The problem
The phone is still where the highest-intent, highest-value bookings begin — the large party, the celebration, the regular. And it is the channel a busy venue is worst at answering.
The one time a guest calls is the one time every hand is on the floor — so the phone rings out, and the booking goes to whoever picked up.
A message left at eight on a Friday is a booking by the time anyone hears it — usually somewhere else.
Guests decide late. A venue that only answers in service hours misses the enquiries that arrive once it has closed.
Every call answered by a person is a person taken off the door, the floor, or the guest in front of them.
How it works
Four steps on one call — answered, understood, checked against the live book, and either confirmed or handed to your team.
On the first ring — no hold, no queue — in your venue’s voice and tone, day or night.
Date, party size, occasion and the area they want — captured as structured booking intent, not a note.
Against the same canonical availability your floor runs on — never a promise the room cannot keep.
The table is confirmed on the call, or the moment routes to your team with the full context intact.
Book · change · ask · confirm
Not a menu of options. A real exchange: it takes the booking, changes one that exists, answers the question, or confirms the table — and it does it in the caller’s own language. Choose an action, then hear it in English, Arabic or Hindi.
Spoken firstThis call is answered by an AI concierge and may be recorded.
Tuned live for English, Arabic and Hindi — and it also answers in Urdu, French and Russian. The caller speaks; the concierge replies in their language, and switches mid-call if they do.
Beyond the booking
It reads out a short shortlist of tables that are genuinely free for the night — a booth, somewhere private, in the Garden — described by character and area, not a list of times.
If the caller would rather choose their own table, it texts a deep-link straight into the visual booking flow, with the date, time and party already filled in.
A fully-booked night becomes a real waitlist place; a request the team should handle — a taxi, a cake, a dietary note — lands typed in the operator queue.
Before they say a word
The moment the phone rings, RAYN matches the number to your guest record and answers a returning guest by name, with the table they usually take already in mind. A first-time caller simply hears your venue’s welcome. No name is spoken unless the guest is genuinely recognised — recognition is a courtesy, never an exposure.
Amira
Usually the Garden terrace, party of four
Welcome back, Amira. Lovely to hear from you — shall I see if your usual booth on the Garden terrace is free tonight?
Voice, meet visual
When a caller would rather choose their own table than be read a shortlist, the agent sends a deep-link straight into the visual Pick-Your-Spot flow — the date, time and party already filled in. The call and the widget are the same booking, on the same layer.
Would you prefer to choose your own table? I can send you the link now.

One system underneath
Availability, holds and the guest record are shared with WhatsApp, the website and the floor — the voice line reads and writes the same single source of truth.
Every change the agent makes goes through the same canonical booking RPCs as your team, so the phone can never contradict the book.
Anything complex or sensitive routes to a human — with the call’s context carried across, so the guest never starts again.
Why you can put your name on it
What separates a voice that merely sounds convincing from one you can actually leave answering your line is what it refuses to do.
Every reservation runs through the same booking engine as your floor — deposit policy, allergy gate and idempotency built in, so a caller is never double-booked. The spoken confirmation comes only after the table is genuinely held. A write that fails gets an honest “I couldn’t do that”, never a false confirmation.
Ask about allergens or alcohol and it will not improvise. Those questions are answered from the venue’s own facts, or handed to a person — the model is never given room to over-claim on the things that touch a guest’s safety.
A returning guest is greeted by name; an unknown caller is never profiled. Every call opens with a spoken notice that it is answered by an AI and may be recorded — deterministically, on every call, not left to the model.
For the operator
Audition the available voices and pick the one that fits the room — set once, server-side, and it answers in that voice from then on.
An AI summary and full transcript for each call sit in the console, so a manager can see what was asked and what was promised.
The minutes each venue’s line actually spoke are captured as calls end, so the economics are never a guess.
A fleet view shows each venue’s readiness and its single next step, so rolling voice out across a group is a runbook, not a mystery.
Your number, kept
Calls to your existing line forward to RAYN, or the number is ported across — the guest dials exactly what they always have. The line runs on a licensed local trunk into RAYN’s voice layer, not an offshore redirect, so it is compliant and it sounds it.
Questions
No — a concierge, not a chatbot. Calm, brief, in your venue’s tone, British English by default or the language you set. You audition the voices and choose the one that fits the room; it answers in that voice around the clock.
Yes. It checks the same live availability your floor runs on and confirms the table on the call, through the same booking engine as every other RAYN channel. If the caller would rather choose their own spot, it sends a deep-link into the visual booking flow instead.
Complex or sensitive moments route to a human with the full call context, so the guest never repeats themselves. Anything it cannot close is still captured — a waitlist place, or a message for the team in the operator queue.
Yes. Keep the number your guests already know: calls forward to RAYN, or the line is ported across. It runs on a licensed local trunk into RAYN’s voice layer — not an offshore call-redirect workaround.
Yes. It greets a returning guest by name and knows the table they usually ask for, drawn from the one guest record shared across voice, WhatsApp, the website and the floor.
