Is AI phone answering for restaurants live yet?
Not yet - Hugo is currently coming q4. Join the waitlist and we will tell you the moment he is ready for your restaurant. Nine other agents are live or in beta today; see which on the team page.
Does it tell callers they're talking to an AI?
Yes, on every call, and again if the call is being recorded. This is a fixed rule, not a setting a restaurant can turn off.
What will it actually handle?
Bookings, allergen and dietary questions, hours, location and directions, voicemail transcription, and capturing every missed call as a follow-up task. Urgent calls transfer straight to the owner.
Does it take payment over the phone?
No. Hugo takes booking details and hands them to Bash to confirm - he does not take payments over the phone.
What does phone answering cost elsewhere, for comparison?
Restaurant-specific phone AI typically runs £330-£450 a month bought on its own (Slang.ai UK Core £331 and Premium £449, Kea around $450, Loman $199-$299, published pricing, September 2026). Hugo is one of ten agents included in AgentResto's flat monthly price.
