AI agents for New York restaurants

The phone rings hardest at 7pm on a Friday, which is exactly when nobody can answer it. Then one in five booked seats never walks in, and the section you held sits empty at eight.

Your wedge: AgentHood Host

“Every missed call at 6pm is a lost table. The agent answers, books, and refills your no-shows from the waitlist before service starts.”

AgentHood Host is an AI phone agent for restaurants. It answers every call on the first ring in a warm voice tuned to your room, takes the full takeout order with modifiers and allergy notes straight into your POS, and books tables live on OpenTable or Resy — so your staff never leaves the floor.

What it’s closing

Three leaks in a room like yours

Leak No. 1

The rush eats your phone

The phone rings hardest exactly when no one can grab it. Industry estimates put unanswered restaurant calls at up to 1 in 4 — concentrated in your peak, highest-revenue hours.

$1,000–$2,500 / moorders lost to missed calls, est.
Leak No. 2

Voicemail is where orders die

Roughly 85% of callers who reach voicemail hang up without leaving a message — and most never call back. They don't wait for you; they dial the next place on the list.

Leak No. 3

Your floor pays for every call

Even the calls you do answer pull a host or server off the floor mid-service — slower turns, colder plates, a longer wait at the door. The phone taxes the room either way.

Questions full-service restaurants ask

Where do most restaurants start?
With the phone. It's the leak you can hear, the fix is measurable in a week, and AgentHood Host can start on after-hours and overflow calls only — zero risk to your service.
Do I have to change my reservation platform?
No. The agents read and write to Resy, OpenTable and Tock as they are. Nothing gets replaced and your host keeps the book they already know.
What if I already have a marketing person?
Keep them. These agents take the 11pm swap texts, the review backlog and the no-show chase off somebody's plate. Ask your GM what they'd do with six hours back.
