The phone rang. Nobody got to it. That booking went elsewhere.

Solve your booking challenges with AI call answering

Are you missing phone bookings out of hours?

It’s tough to answer calls and be available 24/7. And ask any hospitality operator: a better work-life balance is the ultimate goal. The solution to this? An automated phone booking system to prevent missed calls and take back your time.

Do booking requests get lost in your voicemail?

Unlike traditional voicemail or call answering alternatives, Collins Call Evo doesn’t just take messages for you - it connects to your Collins Evo reservation diary and converts calls into bookings. It’s your always-on AI call answering service that never drops a call or forgets a detail.  

Are your staff too busy to take phone bookings during service?

Your Collins Call Evo AI voice assistant can do the job for them. Reduce missed calls and boost confirmed bookings, while freeing up your staff to focus on in-venue service without the fear of letting the phone ring out.

"We know it's working, and that's the key thing. We're seeing incremental sales uplift from it. It's a no-brainer."
