Remi is an AI receptionist for restaurants. It takes table bookings 24/7 on call & WhatsApp, confirms them into your diary, answers the questions you get asked fifty times a day, and sends reminders that cut no-shows — so the phone stops pulling your team off the pass during service. And every month, it shows you the rand value it recovered.

The problem
During the rush, the booking line pulls someone off the floor; after close, it just rings out and the table goes to the restaurant next door. And the bookings you did take? A chunk never show up, leaving covers you can't sell. Remi takes every booking, confirms it, and reminds people so they actually turn up.
How a booking goes
On a call or over WhatsApp, Remi just talks — takes the party size, date and time, and books it straight into your diary.
Remi manages your booking diary, not your floor — it hands anything unusual straight to your team.
Built for a busy pass
Party size, date, time — taken 24/7 in the guest's language and written into your diary, without an app or a staff member on the phone.
Hours, menu, corkage, parking, dietary, dog-friendly — the fifty-times-a-day questions answered so your team stays on service.
WhatsApp confirmations and reminders before the booking — so tables you promised don't sit empty on the night.
Takes a deposit to hold large parties and special events — so a no-show 12-top doesn't cost you the evening.
Most bookings come in when you're shut. Remi captures them all night instead of letting them ring out to voicemail.
Big function, allergy question or a special request? Remi takes the details and hands it to your team with a summary.
One hire, four jobs
Answering is just Remi's first job. The same AI employee also works your money, your quiet nights and your daily admin — and reports the rand value it brings back every month.
Phones to confirm tonight's big tables so no-shows don't kill service, and runs staff hours & leave over WhatsApp.
Fills quiet nights with offers to your regulars and turns happy tables into Google reviews — you approve every campaign before anything goes out.
Deposits on large parties and private events, with any unpaid balance chased politely over WhatsApp until it's settled.

Fits your restaurant
Remi isn't a table-management or floor-plan system. It's the friendly voice on your booking line: it takes the reservation, confirms it, reminds the guest, and leaves running the room to you.

Questions
Remi · Basic takes table bookings 24/7 over WhatsApp in the guest's language, confirms them into your diary without double-booking, answers the repeat questions from a knowledge base you control, sends 48-hour, 24-hour and 2-hour reminders, and gives you a simple bookings dashboard.
Yes, on Remi · Standard from R2,900/month, which adds an AI voice on your actual phone line, deposits by payment link and a live dashboard. Basic is WhatsApp-first; Standard adds the phone.
Remi checks the live diary before it confirms anything, so two guests cannot be given the same table — and every confirmation lands in the same place your floor staff already look.
The reminder sequence at 48 hours, 24 hours and 2 hours is the main lever, and a guest can cancel or move by simply replying — which turns a silent empty table into a slot you can resell.
Remi replies to guests in their own language over WhatsApp, and answers calls in English and Afrikaans on the voice plans.
