Voice AI Agents for Hospitality
A voice AI agent built for hospitality businesses.
Every call taken during service is a member of staff turning away from a guest. Reservations, opening hours, dietary questions, parking — high volume and entirely predictable. A voice AI agent takes those calls in parallel and writes bookings straight into your reservation system.
Built by VelvoAI, an independent AI systems studio. One engineer scopes and writes every system.

Use cases
What this handles for hospitality businesses
The phone rings hardest exactly when service is busiest.
- Take reservations against live table or room availability, including large parties
- Handle modifications, cancellations, and waitlist additions without staff involvement
- Answer opening hours, parking, accessibility, and dietary questions instantly
- Run pre-arrival confirmations and post-visit review requests automatically
Bookings captured around the clock and floor staff staying with the guests actually in the room.
How it runs
Day to day for hospitality businesses
Whether the agent can genuinely confirm depends entirely on the platform, and this is where most vendors overpromise. ResDiary and Access Collins expose documented booking creation, so a caller really is booked before they hang up. Tock allows reads and guest-profile writes but no booking at all; Resy and SevenRooms are partner-gated; OpenTable's write access sits behind a commercial agreement rather than a developer signup. Hotels are the easier build, because Mews, Cloudbeds and Apaleo all create reservations over a documented API. So the agent confirms where the platform permits it and captures a structured request with a callback commitment where it does not — and never tells a guest they are booked when all it has done is write a note.
- S.01ResDiary, which is microsite-scoped, so a multi-site group means one configuration per venue rather than one integration
- S.02Mews, Cloudbeds or Apaleo on the hotel side, where a room category and a rate plan must both resolve before a reservation exists
- S.03A tokenised payment link or a masked keypad leg for deposits, so the agent never hears a card number
- S.04Accessible room features described in enough detail to be judged independently, which 28 CFR 36.302(e) requires of phone reservations too
- S.05Overbooking validation left switched on, which is the default on Mews and should stay that way

Voice AI Agents for Hospitality — questions
01Will guests find it impersonal?
Guests dislike being trapped, not being helped quickly. The agent transfers to a person the moment it is asked, and for a simple booking most callers prefer thirty seconds to a hold tone during a dinner rush.
02Does it work with our reservation platform?
Platforms with an API — including the major restaurant and hotel booking systems — connect directly so availability is live. Where no API exists, bookings are written to a shared calendar and confirmed to the guest by SMS.
