Write Slang voice AI policy answers for reservations, and have the GM own every one
Slang voice AI can answer reservation calls and book into OpenTable, SevenRooms, Yelp, or Resy. Policy answers that skip the GM still misstate dress, parties, or hours. This page shows how to list policies, connect one system, and have the GM own every answer.
Who this is for
Restaurant GMs adding Slang for reservation phone answering. For Popmenu AI Answering — a different job — see Popmenu AI Answering FOH approve. For Yelp Host confirmed orders — another different job — see Yelp Host phone order GM check.
How to do it
This is a how-to, not a ranking. Per the Slang AI review, Slang books into major reservation platforms and keeps recordings/summaries. Commercial terms are quote-only. The GM owns every policy answer.
1. List policy answers
What it is: List hours, dress, parties, cancellations, and other policies Slang may say.
- Write one correct sentence per policy.
- Send comps and special requests to a person.
- Name the GM who approves.
- Keep allergen deep-dives on handoff.
Eight policies written. Large-party deposits stay with events.
GM initials each policy line.
2. Connect one reservation system
What it is: Connect Slang to one system (OpenTable, SevenRooms, Yelp, or Resy) for the pilot.
- Pick one system for week one.
- Test a fake booking with no real guest personal data.
- Confirm the reservation appears correctly.
- Do not connect every channel on day one.
They connect OpenTable only. SevenRooms waits until policies are stable.
Save the fake booking confirmation in the pilot folder.
3. GM approves, then review recordings
What it is: GM approves policies, then reviews recordings or summaries for a week.
- Approve policies in writing.
- Go live for approved topics only.
- Review recordings daily for seven days.
- Fix policy text when guests are confused.
GM pauses the dress-code answer after one wrong formal-night reply. Other policies stay on.
Log: policy, approver, recording issues, edits.
Pricing context (October 2026)
This how-to isn't a price sheet. Per the Slang AI review, Slang publishes no public list price; deals are quote-only. Dated October 2026.
Checked Oct 16, 2026 on the vendor’s own pricing page: Slang shows no public list price. Slang’s site routes to sales; commercial terms are quote-only. This page quotes no Slang dollar figure; confirm what your contract includes with Slang or your admin.
Uncertainty: The only prices this site sells here are the optional $9 AI toolkit spreadsheet and $19 AI toolkit audit.
When this helps (honest take)
Useful when you need reservation-phone policies with a GM owner and one connected booking system.
Not useful when you need website phone FAQs (Popmenu) or Host takeout into POS (Yelp Host).
