FAQ
Questions restaurants, bars and private dining ask
Does inhand replace our reservations system?
No. Everyday table bookings stay in your reservations system. inhand handles private dining and events, and the phone agent can text a caller your table booking link.
Can inhand quote our minimum spend?
Yes, from the minimum spends you accepted in inhand. If one is not confirmed, the draft leaves a placeholder rather than guessing.
How does inhand handle allergies?
Allergens are treated as a safety matter: changes alert the chef, and guest menu cards never pair a guest’s name with a dietary need.
Can it answer the phone during service?
Yes. A phone agent answers forwarded calls as your restaurant, says in its first sentence that it is an AI assistant and the call is recorded, and can hand over to a person with a whispered summary.
Can private dining guests pre-order?
Yes. Guests choose from the menu in your client portal before a close date you set.
Does the phone agent take card details?
Never. Card details are entered only on Stripe’s pages, and a call where a card number is read out keeps no recording.
