The AI receptionist for restaurants that answers every call
Holina picks up on the first ring, day or night — no hold music, no voicemail, no missed orders. She knows your menu and your hours, takes takeout orders, answers in the caller's language, and hands the call to your team the moment it matters.

Every ring during a rush is a choice
Answer the phone, or take care of the guest standing in front of you. Every missed call is a missed takeout order, a party that books somewhere else, a regular who gives up. Voicemail doesn't order food. An AI receptionist for restaurants exists so your staff never has to choose between the caller and the counter.
How it works
- 1. Show Holina your restaurant. Enter your website — she learns your hours, dishes, and policies from it, and you can correct anything before going live.
- 2. Pick a voice. Natural voices in English and Spanish, chosen to sound like someone you'd actually hire.
- 3. Go live. Keep your current number or get a local one. The demo takes about 60 seconds to build, and you can call it before you pay a cent.
What she does on the phone
- Answers 24/7 — first ring, every time, including after close.
- Takes takeout and pickup orders — reads the order back, then it reaches your staff instantly: a text receipt plus a live order board your kitchen can watch. Direct POS write-back (Square first) is on the roadmap.
- Handles reservation calls honestly — she texts the caller your reservation link so they book directly with you.
- Speaks the caller's language — English or Spanish, detected from their first sentence. Mandarin is coming soon.
- Hands off to a human by your rules — an allergy question, a catering request, an upset regular: those calls go to the number you choose, warm-transferred mid-call.
- Texts back missed calls, answers the questions you get forty times a week, triages urgent calls, asks happy customers for reviews, and follows up on quotes — built-in tools you switch on per restaurant.
- One line, multiple locations — she can answer for more than one location and route the caller to the right spot.
Call records you can actually trust
Every call is sealed with a post-quantum cryptographic signature the moment it ends. A disputed order or a "that's not what I was told" conversation is settled by a tamper-evident record — not by whoever kept better notes. How Holina protects your calls →
Built for restaurants — really
Holina answers the phone for Charlotte restaurants like Birria Way and Mike's Vegan Grill. Pizzerias, taquerias, cafes, family spots, multi-location groups: if your phone rings more than your staff can answer, this was built for you. Not a restaurant? Holina Booking Agent is the sibling product for appointment-based businesses — start there instead.
