With Moshi
UK restaurants miss calls constantly. A ringing phone during service is not answered. An enquiry at 10pm goes to voicemail. A reservation slips. With Moshi is an AI phone answering service built specifically for UK restaurants: trained on the menu, the policies, and the personality of each venue.

The phone problem restaurants have not solved
Every restaurant has the same tension: the phone rings at exactly the moment the kitchen is at full stretch. The front-of-house is seating a table. The manager is handling a complaint. The junior staff member answers, sounds flustered, and the caller hangs up before they have booked. That booking goes to a competitor who answered.
The existing solutions are inadequate. Voicemail loses bookings. Third-party reservation platforms take commission and dilute the direct relationship. Hiring additional staff for phone cover is expensive and only fixes the problem during business hours. The phone still rings at 11pm when a diner wants to book for tomorrow.
With Moshi is built to be a restaurant's best front-of-house team member: always available, never flustered, trained specifically on that venue's menus, policies, allergen information, and booking rules. It handles enquiries the way the best restaurateur would: warmly, knowledgeably, and efficiently.
A voice agent trained on your restaurant
Moshi is a trained AI voice agent built on ElevenLabs Conversational AI. Each restaurant gets a dedicated agent configured with their specific details: the menu, opening times, booking policies, private dining options, allergen information, and the character of the venue.
Calls are routed through a dedicated UK phone number. When a diner calls, Moshi answers, handles the conversation naturally, and either takes a reservation (confirmed via email/SMS) or answers the question and signs off. The restaurant gets a notification and a full transcript of every call.
The booking system covers 29 features: table management, party size handling, date and time confirmation, special requests, allergy flags, deposit handling, cancellation policy communication, and follow-up confirmation. It is built to handle the full range of conversations a restaurant phone actually receives, not just the simple ones.
The best restaurants in London have a warm, knowledgeable voice that answers every call. With Moshi, any restaurant can have that voice, at any hour, without the overhead.
6,000+ London restaurants. Most without a system.
London has over 6,000 restaurants. A significant number of those have no booking system at all, taking reservations entirely by phone or walking in. These are precisely the venues that lose the most to missed calls, and the ones that can be reached with the most straightforward value proposition: never miss a booking again.
The three-tier pricing model (£89/£149/£249 per month) is positioned well below the cost of the staffing problem it replaces. At the entry tier, a single additional booking per week more than covers the cost. The economics are clear for any operator who has ever done the maths on a missed call.
The competitive landscape is dominated by SevenRooms (acquired by DoorDash), which focuses on large operators with complex needs. With Moshi targets the independent and small-chain market that SevenRooms is not built for: venues that need something that works immediately, trains easily, and does not require a three-month onboarding.
Voice AI as a business product
The use case has to be economically obvious. With Moshi works as a business proposition because the problem it solves has a clear financial cost. Missed bookings are lost revenue. Calculating that cost takes thirty seconds. The pitch does not require convincing anyone that voice AI is interesting; it requires showing them what a missed call is worth.
Training specificity is the moat. A generic AI voice agent that answers the phone is not very useful to a restaurant. An agent that knows the Thursday set menu, the allergen information for the signature dish, and the cancellation policy for private dining is genuinely valuable. The configuration work is what separates a real product from a demo.
The phone is still the primary channel for many restaurants. Despite the rise of online booking, the phone remains the preferred channel for many diners, particularly for larger groups, special occasions, and venues without an obvious online booking presence. That is not going to change quickly, and it is where the opportunity sits.
Every missed call is a missed booking. Every missed booking is lost revenue. With Moshi is the simplest fix for a problem every UK restaurant has.
