What is a Restaurant Table Management System?

A restaurant table management system is more than just a digital floor plan; it's the backbone of front-of-house operations. From handling reservations and walk-ins to optimizing table turns and improving guest experiences, a smart system can transform how restaurants operate.

But what if this system could also answer the phone? Meet Troy—a reservation management tool that integrates AI-powered phone handling, giving restaurants control over both online and phone call reservations. Unlike OpenTable and Resy, which only handle digital reservations, Troy ensures that every call is answered 24/7, processing bookings, answering guest queries, and even sending confirmation texts and menu links.

The Impact of AI-Driven Table Management

Imagine it’s your busiest Saturday night. Your host is overwhelmed, the waitlist is growing, and a VIP guest just walked in expecting their usual table. In traditional setups, a missed call could mean a lost reservation and lost revenue. With Troy, AI agents handle incoming calls, ensuring no reservation opportunity is missed.

This technology allows restaurants to:

  • Guarantee 24/7 booking availability
  • Reduce front-of-house workload
  • Provide instant responses to customer inquiries
  • Automate reservation confirmations and guest communication
