PolyAI Partners with OpenTable for Reservation Support

— September 23, 2024 — Tech
PolyAI Partners with OpenTable to bring AI-powered voice solutions to enhance reservation support for restaurants. This collaboration allows participating restaurants to use PolyAI’s voice assistants to "manage phone reservations, respond to guest inquiries, and gain insights into customer trends: by integrating PolyAI’s voice AI, restaurants can provide consistent guest experiences, reduce staff workload, and improve operational efficiency."

The partnership enables OpenTable’s network of restaurants to adopt PolyAI’s artificial intelligence and spoken language technologies for seamless phone-based reservation management, available both during and outside business hours. For larger restaurant operators, PolyAI’s voice assistants can be customized to meet the needs of multi-location and multi-brand businesses. Additionally, the system "ensures high standards of security, reliability, and data protection, offering enterprise-grade assurances." This integration aims to enhance the overall hospitality experience while addressing common staffing challenges within the industry.
