Works with your current setup.
Do you currently ask your guests for a credit card deposit?
Select to see your solution
The only way to stop a no-show is to call and chase every guest.
But you don't have the time. And you won't hire a hostess just for that.
1. The Perfect Solution That you can't execute
If you personally called every guest to confirm their booking and build a connection, your restaurant would be full every night.
The Problem:
You are a restaurateur, not a call center. You don't have 2 hours a day to chase voicemails.
2. The Cheap Solution That doesn't work
So you settled for automated SMS and Emails.
The Problem:
They are ignored. In the age of spam, a digital notification creates zero commitment.
3. The Drastic Solution that drives customers away
So you switched to credit card holds. It's true, the financial threat deters no-shows.
The Problem:
It makes your bookings drop by 20 to 30%. And the day you actually charge an absent guest, brace yourself for open conflict and scathing reviews.
Luigi automates the Perfect workflow.
We used AI to clone the efficiency of a human hostess, without the salary. Luigi calls your guests, interacts naturally, and secures their arrival. It is the human touch, scaled.

Have your cake and eat it too
Fewer no-shows, more reservations. Finally.
Your reservation book is precious. Don't leave it to chance. Luigi deploys a predictive voice AI that secures every cover, without ever asking for a credit card.
1. Qualify
Luigi doesn't just verify attendance. Our conversational agent calls every customer with the tact of a maître d'hôtel to confirm their arrival, but also to enrich the experience: allergies, special occasions, table preferences. It recognizes your regulars and adapts its tone for a tailored welcome.
"Your client feels expected and considered. The moral commitment is made, the risk of cancellation collapses."
2. Anticipate
Our AI crosses the invisible to predict the unpredictable. It analyzes intonation (hesitation in the voice), client history, but also external factors (weather alerts, football matches). It assigns a "Reliability Score" to each table so you know exactly who you are dealing with.
"You spot potential "no-shows" 24h in advance and adjust your stocks or overbooking accordingly."
3. Maximize Profit
A late cancellation despite everything? Luigi doesn't let the table get cold. The system reacts in real-time to activate your waiting list or manages precise overbooking to replace the cover instantly.
"Your dining room remains full and your turnover is protected, regardless of the 7pm hazards."
