Direct answer

How should an AI receptionist handle a restaurant large-party request?

It should collect the requested date and time, party size, contact information, occasion, and approved requirements, then offer only authorized availability or send the request to a manager. It should not invent table availability or make unapproved accommodation promises.

Caller language

What the customer may actually say

  • “Can you take a party of twelve?”
  • “It is for a birthday”
  • “Do you have anything Saturday?”

Policy
