“Hi, I'm planning a 60th birthday for about sixty people…”

Ringing owner, manager and backup at once. Caller card sent to your phone.

6:44 PMLOGISTICS · HANDLED

“We're ten minutes late and can't find parking.”

Parking and entrance directions read out and texted. Game master notified.

6:51 PMBOOKING CHANGE · HANDLED

“Can we add two more players to our 7:30?”

Room capacity checked, booking updated, payment link texted. Logged.

You're running a game. The phone is ringing. Again.

The big booking shops around

Someone planning a party or team outing calls three venues. Whoever picks up first usually wins it. Miss that call and a text-back an hour later is too late.

Most calls aren't sales

At one Seattle-area escape room, about six in ten calls were late arrivals, parking, a locked door or a booking change. Necessary, but they pull the owner off everything else.

Nobody gets a day off

Calls arrive across a twelve-hour day, seven days a week. Paying someone by the hour to wait by the phone doesn't pencil out, so the owner and manager carry it.

What owners hire it to do

Five jobs. One front door.

01

Never miss the party or corporate call

Sales intent is caught in the first sentence and rings your people at once. If nobody answers, the caller gets a text and you get a callback task.

02

Clear the “where do I park?” calls

Late arrivals, entrances, parking and “nobody's at the door” get answered from your venue playbook, and the right staff member is pinged when needed.

03

Change bookings without touching them

Add players, move a time slot, confirm details. Changes go straight into your booking system, and anything involving a refund waits for your OK.

04

Know what happened on every call

Every call, text and email in one timeline: what was asked, what was done, who followed up. No more “which email are you talking about?”

05

Step away from the business

Take the call from another time zone, or don't take it at all. The goal: owners under five hours a week on the phones, and a real vacation.

Humans close the sales. AI clears the rest.

How a call is routed

One sentence decides where the call goes.

Step 1

A quick, honest greeting

“Thanks for calling. I'm the venue's assistant and this call is recorded. How can I help?” Prefer buttons? Use “new booking, press 1; existing booking, press 2.”

Step 2

Intent from the first sentence

Trained on escape room calls, not generic receptionist scripts. No second question for a sales caller: the moment it hears a party or group, it hands off.

Step 3 · Route
SALES

New bookings, parties, corporate events → ring your team in seconds with a caller card on screen.

LOGISTICS

Running late, parking, entrance, locked door → answered and texted by Voicenest.

CHANGES

Add players, reschedule → updated in your booking system and logged.

UNSURE

Anything unclear goes to a human. When in doubt, a person answers.

Features

Built for a three-person team on their phones.

Human-first sales routing

Rings owner, manager and backup together. Missed? An instant text to the caller and a callback task for you.

10-second caller card

When you pick up: their bookings, last emails, texts and voicemails, summarised so you know what to say.

Closed-loop audit trail

Every call AI handled, what it said and did, and who followed up. A daily digest shows anything still open.

Rollout dial

Send 20% of calls through Voicenest, compare against the rest, then turn it up. You set the pace.

Answer from anywhere

Sales calls reach you in the app over Wi-Fi or data, whether you're across town or across the world.

Works with your booking system

Bookeo and Resova first. Xola, FareHarbor and Peek on the roadmap. No new system for your team to learn.

Email and text on your SLA

Inquiries sorted and reply drafts ready inside your response window. Party leads flagged to a human first.

Rebook reminders

“Who held a birthday here this month last year?” One question, one list, ready to invite back.

For owners who don't trust bots

Your guests can always reach a person. That's the point.

  • Disclosed up front. Callers hear that they're talking to an assistant and that the call is recorded, as Washington's all-party consent law requires.
  • No card numbers by voice. Payments go through a secure link sent by text.
  • Scoped access. Read bookings, make small changes, log everything. Refunds and cancellations wait for you.
  • You choose the share. Start with a fraction of calls and compare results before going further.

of customers say an option to reach a human agent is essential.

Questions owners ask

Will my customers know it's AI?

Yes, it says so in the first sentence. Most callers just want an answer about parking or their booking; anyone who wants a person gets one.

Do I have to change my phone number?

Not to start. The pilot runs on a new number for your Google Business Profile and ads, so your existing line keeps working while you compare.

What if it misreads a sales call?

It's tuned to hand off whenever it's unsure, and every handled call is in your log, so a miss is visible the same day, not weeks later.

Which booking systems do you support?

Bookeo and Resova in the pilot. Using something else? Tell us when you apply; it shapes what we build next.

Can I take calls while I'm traveling abroad?

Yes. Sales calls reach the app over the internet wherever you are, and you can hand coverage to your manager or a backup with one switch.

Run the game. Let the phone sort itself.
