What Cedri does on a reservation call

Cedri starts with the services it finds on your website or business listing, or with Table Reservation, Private Event and Catering Inquiry if it finds none, so it can take a real booking on the very first call. Add, rename or remove services in the app any time.

Answers in English and French

Callers are answered in the language they speak, on the same line, with no menu to press through.

Books the job, not a message

Cedri reads your live availability and locks in a real slot before the caller hangs up.

Passes the call to you

When a caller asks for a person, Cedri can put the call through to a number you choose.

Texts the caller, and you

The caller gets a confirmation text when the booking is made and a reminder the day before. They can reply 2 to cancel. You get a text with their number and a short summary after every call.

What Cedri asks a caller before booking

A booking is only worth having when it arrives with the details. Before it confirms a table, Cedri asks how many people, the date and time they want, and any allergies or accessibility needs. The answers are written on the booking you see in the app.

A table, a private room and a catering quote

Three different calls land on a restaurant line and the template keeps them apart. A table reservation is taken on the spot: party size, date and time, and any allergies or accessibility needs. A private event or a catering enquiry takes the date and the number of guests and goes to whoever prices those. Allergies and dietary needs are noted at booking and travel to the kitchen, which is the only place that can say honestly what it can accommodate.

Party size and time, every time

Party size, date and time are always asked, so a reservation is ready to seat instead of needing a call back.

The kitchen answers dietary questions

Cedri records allergies and dietary needs on the reservation. What can actually be accommodated is said by the people cooking.

30 calls a month, then packs

Your plan includes 30 answered calls a month. A busy restaurant can go past that: Cedri keeps answering, and extra calls come in packs on the web (10 for $12.99, 25 for $29.99, 50 for $49.99). If that is still not enough, write to support@cedri.ca.

Reservations, not takeout orders

Reservations go into the agenda in the Cedri app, with no built-in link to another reservation system. Cedri has no way to take food orders; it can tell callers your hours.

An answering service for restaurants that books the table

A traditional answering service takes a message, often billed by the minute. Cedri answers every reservation call 24 hours a day, in English and French, and the table is in your calendar before the caller hangs up. You keep your number: forward every call to Cedri, or only the ones you miss.

What callers ask, and what Cedri says

Here is some of what Cedri says from the very first call, before you change anything. These answers send questions about your licence, your insurance and your warranties to you. Cedri says a price only when it finds one in your service list, your answers or your website, so check those prices in the app before you go live. Edit any answer in the app.

A caller asks: “Do you take reservations?”

Cedri answers: “I can take a reservation right now. How many people, and what date and time?”

A caller asks: “Do you offer catering?”

Cedri answers: “Tell me the date and the number of guests and I’ll pass it along so the team can confirm catering options and a quote.”

A caller asks: “Do you accommodate dietary restrictions?”

Cedri answers: “Mention any allergies or dietary needs when you book and the kitchen will tell you honestly what they can accommodate.”
