Best decision we made during the World Cup
We run The Castle Pub in Mitte, Berlin, and every World Cup we get slammed with calls. This year it we got over 60 calls a day, mostly from people asking what game you show tonight (changes daily), can we book a table, do we have Guinness bear and what time we open etc.
You know - the usual client's chaos.
We couldn't keep up and my staff were either serving tables or stuck on the phone, and it was always hard to hear the caller due to music in the pub.
A friend told me about Qualiflow.io so we tried their AI receptionist, Lena. Genuinely didn't expect much, I've tried voice agents before and they all sound robotic and annoying, however I must be honest - this was different. Lena sounds completely human with great German and English! We tell every caller upfront that they're speaking to an AI and honestly - half of them still didn't believe it until we explained again.
Lena the AI handled everything: reservations, food orders, questions about the menu, opening hours, which match was showing that day. All without us lifting a finger.
It saved us hours every single day during the world cup and wayyy less stress for the team. Would recommend to any bar or restaurant that gets busy call volume, especially around big events!
Thanks Qualiflow - this was a game changer for us, and a world cup one ;)
