Why it matters

The restaurants & hospitality reality

  • Missed calls and after-hours booking requests that turn into empty tables and unsold rooms
  • Reviews on Google, Yelp, and OTAs pile up faster than anyone has time to read or respond to
  • Guest data and operations scattered across POS, reservation, PMS, and delivery systems that do not talk to each other
  • High staff turnover means menus, policies, and answers to guest questions live in people's heads, not anywhere searchable
What you get

Outcomes

  • Every missed call receives a friendly text in seconds, keeping callers from searching for competitors
  • Inbound inquiries turn into active text conversations while you stay focused on current work
  • Service details and appointments scheduled directly over text without phone tag
Capabilities

What Text-Back includes

Quiet hours & compliance

Built-in carrier registration, opt-out handling, and quiet hours controls so your automated texting stays compliant and professional.

Restaurants & Hospitality questions

Frequently asked

Do I own the software and automations you build, or am I locked into a platform?
You own the code and the systems we build for you. We can build on top of the reservation, POS, and PMS tools you already use, and we will document everything so another team could maintain it if you ever move on.
Will this integrate with our reservation system, POS, and property management software?
That is usually the starting point. Most of these platforms offer APIs or export options, and where a clean integration is not possible we are honest about the limits and design the workflow around them rather than promising magic.
How do you price projects, and is this realistic for a single location or small group?
We scope each engagement to the problem and quote it up front, so you know the investment before we start. We can begin with a focused first project (like an after-hours booking agent or a review workflow) to prove value before expanding.
How long before we see something working during a busy season?
A focused automation or growth project typically reaches a usable first version in a few weeks, while a full custom platform takes longer. We sequence the work so the highest-impact piece ships first rather than waiting on everything at once.
