The AI phone receptionist for restaurants & takeaways.

Friday service and a ringing phone do not mix. Ringmere answers your calls, books tables against your live availability, takes delivery and collection orders from your real menu, and reads every order back before it reaches the kitchen.

The missed-call problem

Sound familiar?

  • Reservation calls ringing out mid-service
  • Order calls interrupting the counter at the busiest hour
  • Callers who want a table one week and a takeaway the next

Every one of those is a booking walking to a competitor. Ringmere answers before it does.

Questions from restaurants & takeaways

Good to know.

Can it take both reservations and orders?
Yes, on the same phone line and even in the same call. You choose whether your line takes reservations, orders, or both, and the AI handles whichever the caller wants.
Where do the menu and prices come from?
From you. It only quotes items and prices you approve, imported from your menu in seconds, and order totals are calculated from your real menu, never invented.
How do delivery orders work?
It checks the caller’s postcode against your delivery radius, quotes your fee and time, and reads the full order back before it goes to the kitchen.
Is Ringmere an answering service for restaurants & takeaways?
Yes, and a virtual receptionist too. Like an answering service, it picks up your calls 24/7 under your business name. Like a virtual receptionist, it answers questions, takes messages and books appointments straight into your diary. Because it is an AI receptionist it costs from £49 a month, never puts a caller on hold, and on Growth and Pro replies on WhatsApp and text as well.
