Your always-on front of house

  • Always open with 24/7 call handling

    Let Hilda answer every call, take bookings and orders, and capture the enquiry when your team is on the floor. Guests get an answer at seven on a Friday and at eleven at night.

  • Handle calls with consistent, friendly service

    Deliver consistent, on-brand responses in multiple languages. Seamlessly switch languages mid-conversation and hand off complex issues to your team, complete with a call summary.

  • Scale without extra staff

    Take every call at once through the dinner rush, and add venues as the group grows without adding phone cover.

  • Works with your phone and business tools

    Keep your existing number and phone system. Phone orders land as tickets in Toast or Clover, so nobody retypes anything.

Hilda AI is an AI phone assistant built for hospitality. It answers calls 24/7, takes table bookings and room enquiries, handles phone orders, and answers the routine questions your team fields all service.

Traditional IVR systems rely on fixed menus and button presses. Hilda AI uses natural conversations; callers explain what they need and Hilda responds appropriately.

Answer calls 24/7, take bookings and phone orders, quote wait times, answer questions on hours, menus, parking and amenities, route calls with context, send SMS confirmations, and provide transcripts and analytics.

About 5 minutes. Enter your website URL or business details, customize your AI, test with a call, and go live with your dedicated phone number.

Yes. Hilda answers unlimited concurrent calls, so nobody hears an engaged tone during the dinner rush.

Yes. Your data is encrypted in transit and at rest, and we never use your data to train publicly available AI models.

Yes. Hilda recognizes repeat callers by phone number, so returning customers don't have to re-introduce themselves, and where a POS integration like Clover is connected, she can reference their past order history too.
