DiningRelay Call the live demo Call demo
Built for restaurants

Stop losing reservations and takeout when the phone rings during service.

DiningRelay covers the phone during service, captures reservations and takeout, answers guest questions, and saves every request in one clear dashboard.

Add your hours, menu basics, reservation rules, and handoff number. We handle the routing behind the scenes so the shift stays calmer for staff.

What happens during service

The phone rings at the worst possible moment.

That is where reservations get missed, takeout orders disappear, and staff get pulled away from the guests already in the building.

The host stand gets interrupted

Routine questions and reservation requests steal attention from the floor right when the shift is at its busiest.

Takeout and reservation opportunities disappear

If no one answers, callers do not wait around. They move on to the next restaurant with a faster response.

Important details get written down badly or not at all

Allergies, pickup timing, party size, and callback numbers should not live on sticky notes or memory.

Built for the floor The phone stays covered, the host stand stays focused, and every request lands in one clear dashboard.
How it works

Set it up once. Let it cover the phone every shift.

DiningRelay is designed to be easy for an owner or operator to understand fast, without turning setup into another tech project.

1 Add your restaurant details

Hours, menu highlights, FAQs, reservation policy, after-hours rules, and the number to transfer urgent calls.

2 Route the calls

DiningRelay covers the line when staff are busy, between shifts, or after hours.

3 Capture the request cleanly

Reservations, takeout details, dietary notes, callback numbers, and guest questions are handled one step at a time.

4 Review everything in the dashboard

Operators get the request, transcript, summary, and next step in one clear place.

What improves

Better coverage without dragging staff back to the phone.

DiningRelay is built to protect revenue and make the shift easier to run.

More calls turn into real revenue

Reservation requests, takeout orders, and high-intent guest questions stay in play instead of disappearing.

Fewer interruptions for the team

The host stand, counter, and managers stop answering the same basic questions during the rush.

A better guest experience

Callers still get a prompt, polished answer even when the restaurant is full and the staff is stretched.

Product proof

See the operator workflow before you ever sign up.

This is a practical phone workflow for restaurants with request capture, clean handoff, and an operator view your team can actually use.
