The reality day one

What changes when GAUGE goes live

  • ●Phone rings during the dinner rush, host can't pick up, reservation walks
  • ●Same 5 questions asked 200 times a week (hours, parking, menu, allergens)
  • ●After-hours catering / private-event requests vanish into voicemail
  • ●Yelp + Google + your site all funnel to one harried phone
What you get instead

Always on, always growing

Reservations booked on OpenTable / Resy / Tock
Direct integration — the agent only offers slots that exist, captures party size + dietary notes + special-occasion flag, sends a confirmation text.
Takeout orders captured cleanly
The agent reads your menu (we sync from Toast, Square, Clover, Resy) and takes the order with modifiers, payment, ETA. Order pings the kitchen printer as if it came from your iPad.
Hours / location / menu / parking on autopilot
Stop your host repeating 'we close at 10' for the 800th time this week. The agent answers in under 2 seconds with the right info — pulled from your Google Business Profile + menu.
Catering + private-event intake
Routes catering / large-party / buyout requests to the right person with all the data captured (date, party size, dietary, budget) so your event manager isn't starting from zero.

The other half of the system

We don't just answer the phone. We make it ring.

An AI receptionist with no calls is a fancy voicemail. The same playbook that puts you on this page — programmatic SEO, LLM-friendly site structure, schema, reviews loop, Google Business Profile, content cadence — runs on yourbrand once you're a client.

Front of funnel
Search + LLM-found

Industry + city pages built on the same playbook you're reading. Schema, llms.txt, Google Business Profile maintained weekly so AI search engines and Google Maps both surface you.

Mid funnel
Content cadence

10+ TikTok / Instagram / Facebook posts a week tuned for your niche, plus brand-matched flyers + Stories. Every post links back, every link compounds your domain authority.

Bottom funnel
Calls + reviews loop

Every closed job triggers a review request 24 hours later with a small thank-you. Google reviews compound. AI agent handles every inbound call from the traffic. Loop closes.

Pricing

Flat monthly. Less than a part-time receptionist.

$497–$997/mo depending on call volume + content cadence. Includes the AI agent, the website, the SEO + content engine, the unified dashboard, and the reviews loop. No setup fees on the first cohort.

Compare: a part-time human receptionist runs $1,800–$2,600/mo and covers business hours only.

FAQ

Questions diner-facing operators ask

▸Will it actually take a takeout order with our specific menu?
Yes — we sync your menu from Toast, Square, Clover, or your POS each morning. The agent knows current prices, sold-out items, modifiers, and special instructions. Order hits your kitchen printer like it came from any other channel.
▸Does it work with OpenTable, Resy, or Tock?
All three. The agent reads availability live and books directly — same-time-slot conflicts are impossible because we never see a slot the platform hasn't.
▸What if a caller has a complicated allergy question?
The agent has your allergen menu mapped and answers basic questions ('does the carbonara have nuts?'). For anything ambiguous, it offers to text the chef on duty during service hours.
▸Can it handle reservation changes during the dinner rush?
That's literally when it shines — your host can keep the floor running while the AI handles 'can we push our 7:30 to 8?' instantly. Changes sync to OpenTable / Resy in real time.
