Chat with the agent
InteractiveThe same agent, on the website instead of the phone. This is what answers at 11pm when nobody is in the office.
Chat with Ava. Nothing starts — and nothing is metered — until you do.
Sandbox for Maison Boudin. Nothing is actually booked and no messages are sent.

This business misses roughly 88 calls a month. At a $78 average ticket, that is real money walking to whoever answered.
What the missed calls are worth
InteractiveEvery number starts at the restaurant benchmark. Change any of them to match your actual business.
Typical for a restaurant of this size is around 88. Count after-hours, lunch, and the ones that ring while someone is with a customer.
Start at 90% — the share an after-hours AI typically reaches in restaurant. Drag it down if you want a more conservative picture.
Benchmark for this vertical is about 61%.
Restaurant jobs in this range typically land around $135, and lifetime value is closer to $620 once they return.
Paid leads in this vertical run about $22. Used to compare recovered calls against buying more.

Missed calls × recovery rate
Recovered calls × your close rate
What buying the same number of leads would cost
Using a mid-tier retainer as the comparison
Missed calls × recovery rate × close rate × average ticket. Nothing clever, and nothing hidden — the equivalent lead spend line shows what buying the same number of leads at $22 each would cost instead.
Benchmarks are for restaurant businesses generally, not a measurement of yours. Job value is seeded from typical restaurant work — not the diagnostic-fee average — so the starting figure matches what a recovered call is actually worth.
