AI website chat for pubs and bars
Is the kitchen open on Mondays? Are dogs allowed? Is the quiz on this week? A chat on your website answers questions like these from your own information and books tables in writing, in your pub’s name, while you’re busy behind the bar.
How it works for pubs and bars
The questions everyone asks
Food times, dogs, parking, the beer garden, what’s on: the chat answers from your website and notes, and when it doesn’t know, it says so and takes a message for you.
Tables booked by chat
With online bookings on, it sets out the day, time and contact details in one message and books once the guest says yes. The confirmation and reminder follow as usual.
Events kept up to date
Add your events, quiz nights and opening hours to its notes or your website, and it answers from those. Change them and its answers change with them straight away.
Chats you can read later
Every conversation is saved in your app, so after closing you can see what people asked, what it answered and any messages it took for you to reply to.
Sunday roast, table for 4
A match day at The Wherry & Oar
Match-day questions answered while the bar was packed
On a big match day, The Wherry & Oar’s bar was three deep and the phone was hopeless. Online, the chat kept going. It told one visitor the kitchen would be open until nine, confirmed to another that dogs were welcome in the garden, and booked a table for four for the evening once the guest said yes. A question about hiring the back room became a message for Tom, who replied the next morning.

The film
How the AI Receptionist, LocalQuiver's fifth AI agent, answers the calls you miss and your website chat in your business's name, how missed callers get a text back from your business number, and how customers book themselves into one diary. It works the same way for pubs and bars.

0:02When you're on a job, the phone still rings. And every call you miss could be a customer who rings someone else.
0:09So meet the AI Receptionist, the fifth AI agent in LocalQuiver.
0:14Your phone rings first. When you can't pick up, it answers in your business's name, and says it's an AI assistant.
0:21It answers questions from your website and documents, then books the visit into your diary, or takes a proper message.
0:27And you get a short summary of every call it handled.
0:31The same receptionist chats on your website, answering questions and booking appointments in writing, day or night.
0:38With missed-call text back, every caller you miss gets a text from your business number, straight away, in your words.
0:45Their replies land in one place, and you answer from the app when you're free.
0:49And with online bookings, customers book themselves into times that are genuinely free, from your website or your booking link.
0:56Confirmations and reminders go out for you, and every booking lands in one diary, so nothing can clash.
1:03Every call answered. Every booking taken. Even when you're on a job.
1:09LocalQuiver. Your marketing, sorted.

More for pubs and bars
Yes, if it’s on your website or in its notes. Add quiz nights, live music and match days, and it answers from those. Change your notes and its answers change too, so keep them current and it stays current.
Yes, with online bookings on. It sets out the day and time in one message, books once the guest confirms, and the usual confirmation and reminder follow. It uses the same diary as your booking page, so tables can’t clash.
Yes. If we built your website, it’s there straight away. On any other website, one pasted line of code adds it, in your pub’s colours and name, opening with a first message you write.
