Stop missing booking calls during Dubai’s dinner rush
When the floor is slammed, booking calls still ring. Try the browser booking demo, then review what connecting your restaurant would involve.
What unanswered calls cost during service
An unanswered booking enquiry can mean a missed cover. Use your own call volume, conversion assumptions and average booking value below to estimate the opportunity; the estimate is not recorded revenue.
Rush, overnight, and pre-open enquiry windows
Many Dubai venues open for dinner around 6pm, while booking calls start in the morning and keep coming after close. Overnight and pre-open windows are exactly when a thin host team cannot sit on the line.
Why hiring another host doesn’t fix after-hours and overflow
Another hire helps on the floor, but one person still cannot answer every ring mid-rush, take private-event details, and cover overnight. Overflow and after-hours calls keep slipping — and the guest moves on.
What an AI restaurant host actually does on the call
In the browser demo, Onla greets the guest, checks the configured tables and booking times, and saves a demo reservation before confirming it. More on Product.
Checks covers and turn time before confirming
Onla checks configured table capacity, dining time and booking start times. Section preferences, terrace seating and kitchen-close rules need separate setup review; they are not enforced by the current availability engine.
Offers the next open slot when the floor is full
If the requested time is full, Onla can offer available start times. Saved reservations hold a table for its configured dining time.
Keep your existing e& / du number
The planned telephone pilot keeps your restaurant's published number. Your carrier plan, connection and staff fallback need qualification before any guest call reaches Onla.
Call forwarding / SIP / cloud PBX behind the number you already publish
We review your exact carrier and PBX setup, then test the complete connection before go-live. The browser demo does not establish a working telephone connection. See Getting started.
See the demo floor
Try Amira on the Marsala, Dubai Marina demo on the homepage, then book a walkthrough on your own floor rules. Pricing is agreed on that call — contact-only, no packaged AED tiers on this page. See Pricing.

Questions restaurants ask
Does Onla replace my restaurant’s phone number?
Keeping your number is the planned approach. Carrier routing, the phone connection and staff fallback still need qualification before a restaurant pilot.
Can it book tables, not just take a message?
Yes. The browser demo checks its configured table availability and saves a demo booking before confirming. Your venue's live inventory and phone connection need separate qualification.
What about private events?
Onla checks the configured event space, records the booking details and creates a menu and deposit follow-up for your team. Automatic WhatsApp delivery is not available yet.
Is WhatsApp live today?
Messengers and WhatsApp are rolling out — not claimed live on this page.
How do I try it?
Use the live Amira demo on the homepage, then book a walkthrough for your floor rules. Pricing is agreed on the walkthrough.
