Slang AI
A phone host built only for restaurants, booking tables straight into your reservation system
Best phone answer for a solo full-service restaurant, with the catch that the per-location price only pays back if missed calls are costing real tables.

What Slang AI is — in our words
Slang AI does one job for one industry, and does it deeply. It is a voice host for full-service restaurants that answers every call, handles the questions that interrupt a busy service, hours, menus, dietary needs, parking, private events, and books, changes and cancels reservations directly in the reservation platform your hosts already watch. It sends text confirmations, collects special requests, recognises and handles important callers with extra care, records and summarises calls, and measures caller satisfaction, so a single-location owner stops losing tables to an unanswered phone during the dinner rush. That specialisation is the whole argument for its price. A general receptionist can take a message about a table for six; Slang is designed to complete the booking, in the right system, with the right details, and to suggest another location in the same group when yours is full on the premium tier. For a solo restaurateur that completeness can pay for itself in recovered covers. The limits follow from the focus. It is restaurants only, so it is irrelevant to everyone else in this directory job. It does not take phone orders; for takeout it texts the caller a link to online ordering instead. Pricing is per location and starts higher than most generalists charge in total, Spanish support costs extra on the entry tier, and there is no self-serve free trial to hear it before a sales conversation. Judge it on bookings recovered, not on cost per call.
What it does end-to-end
- Answers restaurant calls 24/7 and answers guest FAQs about hours, menus and policies
- Books, modifies and cancels reservations directly in OpenTable, SevenRooms, Yelp and similar systems
- Sends SMS confirmations and collects special requests and occasion details
- Routes VIP and sensitive calls to staff and alerts the team in real time on Premium
- Records and summarises calls and tracks caller satisfaction
What it does NOT do
- Restaurants only; not a general business receptionist
- Does not take takeout or delivery orders by phone; it texts an ordering link instead
- No self-serve trial, and Spanish support is a paid add-on on Core
Pricing — checked 2026-11-04
Flat monthly price per location, not per call or per minute. Core and Premium are published per location; Enterprise is custom for multi-location groups and custom workflows.
| Plan | Published price |
|---|---|
| Core | from $399/month per location |
| Premium | from $599/month per location |

Pros — our take
- Reservation-system depth no generalist in this list matches
- Built for the dinner rush, when a solo restaurant loses the most bookings
- Flat per-location price makes busy weekends cost no more than quiet ones
Cons — our take
- Expensive for a single small location compared with general AI receptionists
- Useless outside restaurants and hospitality
- Phone ordering is deflected to a link rather than taken by the agent
