Restaurant
The party of eight that hit voicemail at 7pm
Pickup answers straight through the dinner rush, books the table or takes the catering inquiry, and flags anything that needs a manager's OK — without pulling anyone off the floor.
The line it will not cross
Never confirms a party size the floor can't seat, and never lets an allergy or dietary note go unrecorded.
What it collects on every call
A reservation record comes back complete, not as a voicemail somebody still has to listen to.
