Slang.ai
Also known as: Slang AI
AI phone agent for restaurants: answers every call around the clock, makes, changes and cancels reservations in OpenTable, SevenRooms and Yelp, answers hours, menu and allergy questions, routes VIP calls to staff and sends real time alerts, with recordings, transcripts and call analytics. From $399 per location per month.
Slang AI sells an AI phone agent for restaurants and restaurant groups. It answers the restaurant's calls around the clock, lets guests make, change or cancel reservations across OpenTable, SevenRooms and Yelp, collects special requests, sends text confirmations and links, and answers questions on hours, directions, promotions and allergies from pre built prompts that Slang's conversational designers built from more than 17 million guest calls. Restaurants set scheduled call forwarding and send VIP calls straight to staff, and calls the agent cannot resolve are forwarded to a person or answered by text.
Staff get real time alerts on topics such as private dining, complaints and lost items, a Smart Inbox of tagged follow ups, recordings, transcripts and summaries of every call, and analytics on call volume, answer rate, reservations, covers and guest satisfaction. Premium adds branding, cross selling across a group's restaurants and Spanish, and a Tripleseat add on captures private events. Setup takes under 30 minutes. Pricing is published per location: Core from $399 a month, Premium from $599 and Enterprise custom, with MFA and SSO on Enterprise.

Integrations
Official integrations connect OpenTable, SevenRooms and Yelp, where guests book, change or cancel reservations and submit special requests, and Tripleseat and Perfect Venue, which receive private event leads. Confirmations and links go out by text, and the Enterprise plan adds custom integrations.
In practice
Your host stand cannot pick up during the Friday rush. Slang answers every call, books the table in OpenTable or SevenRooms and texts a confirmation, while calls from VIPs ring straight through to staff.
A guest asks about gluten free options and parking at 11pm. Slang answers from the restaurant's approved details and alerts staff if the call turns into a private dining inquiry.
Your group's flagship is fully booked on Saturday. Slang offers the caller an open table at a sister location instead of losing the reservation.
