Compare Holina

Picking an AI receptionist for your restaurant? Good — the phone is where the money is. Here's what to check in any AI phone answering service, and how Holina stacks up.

What to check before you pick one

• Can you hear it before you pay? Holina's demo line is live right now — call (618) 481-4726 — and you can build one that knows your own restaurant in about 60 seconds.
• What happens to a phone order? Ask exactly where the order lands. With Holina it reaches your staff instantly — a text receipt plus a live order board. Direct POS write-back (Square first) is on the roadmap, and we'll say so plainly until it ships.
• Does it really speak Spanish? Holina detects the caller's language from their first sentence and answers in English or Spanish for the whole call.
• Can a caller reach a human? Holina warm-transfers by your rules — allergy questions, catering, anything you decide belongs with a person.
• Can you trust the record of the call? Holina seals every call with a post-quantum cryptographic signature — tamper-evident records you can verify yourself.
• What does leaving cost? Holina is month-to-month, $249/month per location line, first month free on the monthly plan, cancel with 30 days' notice.
