AI calling for reservation confirmations and upsell

Confirm every upcoming booking by voice, capture special requests, and mention a relevant upsell — so tables and rooms are never lost to a silent no-show.

The problem

No-shows cost restaurants a full table turn and hotels a night of revenue, yet staff cannot personally call every booking to confirm. A call that takes thirty seconds per guest becomes hours of work across a full week's reservation list.

How Vaanicall runs it

  1. Booking confirmation call

    The day before the reservation, the AI agent calls every guest to confirm their booking — name, date, time, and party size — and extracts a "confirmed" or "cancel" disposition.

  2. Special requests captured

    The agent asks whether the guest has any special requests — dietary restrictions, room preferences, occasion notes — and writes the answers as structured fields on the contact record for your front-of-house team.

  3. Upsell mention

    For occasions like birthdays or anniversaries, the agent naturally mentions a relevant add-on — a cake, a room upgrade, early check-in — based on the occasion field in your booking data.

  4. No-answer flagged for manual follow-up

    Guests who do not answer after configured retries are dispositioned "unreachable" and added to a callback list for your reservations team — so no booking sits unconfirmed on the morning of the event.

Sample call — the agent opens with your brand and script

  1. AI Agent: Hello, this is Tanya from Saffron Terrace. Am I speaking with Riya Kapoor?

  2. Customer: Yes, that's me.

  3. AI Agent: Hi Riya, calling to confirm your dinner reservation tomorrow — Sunday, 7 PM, table for four. Can I confirm you are still coming?

  4. Customer: Yes, confirmed. It's actually my husband's birthday.

  5. AI Agent: Wonderful — happy birthday to him! Would you like us to arrange a complimentary dessert for the occasion? I can note that request for the team.

  6. Customer: That would be lovely, yes please.
