AI Restaurant and Event Reservations
A shortlist, the booking, the directions. The whole experience set up before you arrive.
Alice is your AI Personal Assistant on Sistava.
Picking a restaurant for date night used to take 20 minutes of group chat. Alice does it in two. A shortlist of three options matched to taste and occasion, the booking made when you pick, directions and timing shared with everyone going.
Allergies and preferences travel with the booking. Backup options are held in case the first falls through. The whole thing set up so you just show up.
The shortlist comes from real reading rather than a memory of the internet. She searches, opens the actual pages, and returns cited options with the trade-offs stated, so "the quiet one with the tasting menu" is a claim you can check rather than a guess. Google Maps is on her tool list for the part everyone forgets, which is how long it actually takes to get there.
A shortlist of three is deliberate. Twelve options is the same problem you started with, so she narrows and recommends, and tells you why the top pick is the top pick. If none of them fit, saying "none of these, more casual" is a faster correction than a new brief.
On the booking itself, be clear about what is live today. She can hold the date on your calendar, send the invite to everyone coming, and write the request to the venue from your mailbox or hers. Placing an actual phone call to a restaurant is marked coming soon in our catalog, so a venue that only takes bookings by phone is one you still ring, with the details already in front of you.
What you get
- Three options with pros and cons (vibe, price, drive time).
- Allergies and dietary needs on file at the venue.
- Group RSVP coordinated for parties of more than two.
- Backup option held in case of cancellation.
How it works
- Curates options matched to taste: Filter by neighborhood, occasion, party size, vibe, prior favorites.
- Books once you pick: Reservation made via OpenTable, Resy, direct call, or email — whatever the venue uses.
- Shares directions and timing: Calendar invite to attendees, drive time alert, dress code reminder if relevant.
- Waits for your yes before anything is committed: Confirming a booking is a sign-off card, not a silent action. You approve the one you want, and only that one goes ahead.
- Remembers how it went: The place, the table, the thing you ordered, whether you would go back. Next time the shortlist starts from what already worked.
FAQ
Can she book hard-to-get tables?
She can join waitlists, call ahead, and try alternative times. For premium spots, she proposes alternatives if the first choice is full.
What about kid-friendly spots?
Yes. Family preferences (high chairs, kids' menu, noise tolerance) tagged on every booking.
Will she handle cancellations?
Yes. Cancellation made on your behalf, alternative proposed, attendees re-notified.
What do I actually have to tell her?
The occasion, roughly when, and who is coming. Everything else she works out or already knows: the neighbourhood you usually pick, the allergy in the family, the fact that Tuesday is impossible. Preferences are held between tasks rather than re-asked each time.
How does she pick where to look?
She reads the actual pages rather than recalling them, and a vendor network of real businesses inside the platform is checked before the open internet. What comes back is options with sources attached, so a claim about the menu or the room is one you can verify in a click.
What is not automated yet?
Phone calls. Voice channels are marked coming soon in our catalog, so anything that only exists as a phone number stays with you. Everything written, the request, the confirmation, the invite to the table, she handles.
