For restaurants
The phone rings hardest at 7pm, when nobody can pick it up.
Every unanswered ring during dinner rush is a table you didn't seat, a missed to-go order, or a reservation nobody caught. LineHost answers every call, takes the order, books the table, and answers the question — the only calls that ever reach your kitchen are the ones that actually need a person.
Restaurants miss an estimated 150 calls a month - adding up to roughly $20 billion in lost revenue industry-wide, every year.

What it handles for your restaurant
Automating pickup orders
Our AI agent answers the call and takes the full order, getting everything it needs from the customer — no server stuck relaying items back and forth. The order lands instantly on a screen in the kitchen, where staff tap once to confirm a pickup time or let the AI know they can't take it right now. Either way, the AI calls the customer back automatically, so no order ever just disappears and no phone ever gets picked up in the kitchen.
Taking reservations
Our AI agent answers the call and books it directly onto your book: date, time, party size, name, and phone number, plus any note like a birthday or a high chair. No one at the host stand has to pick up the phone.
Answering common questions
Our AI agent is trained on whatever your customers actually ask, from hours and menu to pricing, parking, and dress code, so a server never has to leave the floor to answer the phone.
Handling overflow at peak times
Our AI agent answers every call as it comes in, even during Friday and Saturday night rushes and holidays when the phone won't stop ringing. No busy signals, no voicemail, no missed reservations.
Sample call
A same-day reservation, taken at 5:25pm
Thank you for calling Parka Kitchen! How can I help you today?
Hi, can I book a table for 4 people today around 6:30pm?
Let me check on that for you... 6:30 isn't available, but I have 7:00 open for four. Would that work?
Sure, 7:00 works.
Great. Can I get a name and a good phone number for the reservation?
Jane Doe, (415) 555-0123.
Got it — (415) 555-0123, is that right?
Yep.
Perfect. Any allergies or special requests I should pass along to the kitchen?
One of us is vegetarian, if that's doable.
Absolutely, I'll note that for the kitchen. You're all set — four people, tonight at 7:00, under Jane Doe. See you then!

Questions restaurant owners ask
If it's outside what LineHost is trained to handle, it transfers the call to your staff rather than guessing. No customer ever gets a made-up answer.
No. It runs on natural, modern voice AI instead of a scripted phone tree, so conversations flow like a normal call. If a customer asks whether they're talking to a person, it tells them it's an AI.
It shows up instantly on a screen in your kitchen. Staff tap once to confirm a pickup time — or let us know if they can't take it right now — and either way, LineHost calls the customer back automatically. Nothing sits unanswered, and no one in your kitchen ever has to pick up a phone.
Yes, they can call back anytime to update the date, time, or party size, add or change notes and special requests, or cancel outright. You won't need to do anything yourself.
If someone calls back and their number already has a reservation on file, LineHost lets them know before booking anything new — then they can choose to book another one, reschedule the existing one, or cancel it.
Talk to the founder, not a sales team.
Tell me how your phone works today and what you're missing. I'll tell you straight whether LineHost helps. LineHost is founder-led. I set up your line, I answer your email, and I'm the one on the call.
No new hardware, no new phone system, just forward your existing number, about five minutes on your end. The rest is us learning your restaurant, so LineHost sounds like it belongs there from day one.
