An AI that calls to book your omakase reservation

Omakase counters have a few seats, and some take reservations only by phone or only at set times. Text Book the restaurant, your party size and the dates that work. An AI assistant phones, asks for the seats, mentions any dietary needs and texts you what the restaurant said. You can also ask it to call at a time you choose, such as when the restaurant opens its books.

Example text“Call Sushi Nakamura in Brooklyn and book two seats at the counter for Saturday the 14th, any time after 6. One person is allergic to shellfish. Under Rivera.”

    Now, when the restaurant opens, or at a time you choose, such as when reservations are released.

  3. 3

    Get the result

    A text tells you the seating, any deposit or policy, and what you need to do next.

What to put in your text

  • The restaurant and the city
  • Number of seats, and the dates and times you'd accept
  • Allergies and dietary restrictions, which omakase kitchens need to know in advance
  • The name for the booking
  • When to call, if the restaurant releases reservations at a set time

Good to know

  • Book can call at a time you choose, but it can't guarantee a seat. Popular counters fill within minutes, and the line may be busy.
  • Many omakase restaurants take a deposit or card to hold the booking. Book doesn't give card numbers, so it asks how to pay and texts you the instructions.
  • Book doesn't agree to deposits, fees or cancellation terms for you. It writes them down and you decide.
  • Some restaurants use an online booking site instead of phone calls. Book only calls by phone.
  • Book calls regular US and Canadian business phone numbers. It can't book a restaurant in Japan.

Questions

Can it call exactly when reservations open?

Can it book omakase in Japan?
