Restaurants and Hospitality

Take every booking call, even in the middle of service

Calls peak exactly when staff are busiest — lunch and dinner service. Reservation and event enquiries go unanswered, and guests book elsewhere.

Overview

Felina for Restaurants and Hospitality

Felina can answer common guest questions, take reservation and event enquiries and follow up with guests, from your approved information. Direct booking into your reservation system needs an authorised integration; otherwise your team confirms each booking.

FAQs

Frequently asked questions

Which reservation systems does Felina work with?

We don't claim compatibility with specific reservation or POS systems until an integration is verified for your deployment. Without one, your team confirms each request.

Can Felina take food orders by phone?

Order-taking isn't presented as a standard workflow. It depends on your systems and is confirmed per deployment.

What about menu changes and holidays?

You update the approved information, and Felina uses the latest version on calls.

Can guests speak in Tamil?

Felina is configured for Coimbatore Tamil and English today. Other regional styles and languages are added only after testing.
