Hear why restaurants love Yelp Host

“One of the things I appreciate most is how well it handles multiple calls at once—every call is answered without delay. The cost is also a fraction of what I expected...”
— Jongpil Kim, CEO, MUN Korean Steakhouse
“It's not replacing a person. It's enhancing the experience across the board. My team doesn't have to be standing next to the phone anymore. They can focus on the guest experience.”
— Betty Bustamante, Head of Operations, Ole Tapas Bar & Kitchen
“Between seating and to-go orders, we need up to 3 people at the host stand. Yelp Host keeps the phone quiet so we can get more done with less people.”
— Carmen Morales, Owner, El Patron Mexican Grill & Cantina

Voice AI unlike any other

Powered by GPT-Live-1, Yelp Host uses full-duplex technology to listen and respond simultaneously, so conversations flow naturally–even when callers interrupt, change their mind, or ask multiple questions at once.

Conversations that flow

Yelp Host listens and responds at the same time. No gaps or pauses or the caller wondering if it’s still there.

Callers have room to think

Checking with the group, pausing mid-thought—Yelp Host waits and picks back up when they’re ready.

Nothing needs repeating

Mid-sentence corrections, multi-part questions, three orders with modifications, all caught the first time.

Speaks their language automatically

Yelp Host detects what language a caller is speaking and responds in kind. If they switch mid-call, Yelp Host switches with them.
