The typical hospitality phone problem
- Rush-hour blackout: Lunch and dinner service means the kitchen is full and nobody's near the phone. Callers hit voicemail — and book the place next door.
- After-hours calls: Someone calling at 10 p.m. to book a table for next week is completely lost.
- Repeat-question loop: "Are you open today? What time? Do you have gluten-free options?" — five times an hour.
- Cancellation chaos: Table cancellations get passed along verbally between tasks, nothing gets noted properly.
What Talura handles for restaurants & hotels
Reservations 24/7
Talura takes table or room reservations — party or guest count, date, time, special seating requests. Structured handoff to your system via email or webhook (Professional plan and above).
Standard questions on autopilot
Hours, menu highlights, allergen info, directions, parking, family-friendliness, pet policy — all answered from your knowledge base (RAG available on Professional).
Multilingual
German and English out of the box, additional languages on request. International guests won't be turned away.
Cancellations & rebookings
Cleanly documented with timestamp, reason (if given), and reservation reference. You stay on top of your book even during a busy service.
What Talura is — and what it deliberately is not
✓ Talura handles your reservation intake for standard bookings, common questions, and routine information. It works alongside your reception or on its own after closing.
✗ Talura does not replace hospitality. Tableside service, personal recommendations, complaint handling, VIP-guest requests — that stays with your team. For complaints or emotionally charged calls, Talura politely transfers to a staff member.
Common questions from restaurants & hotels
Can Talura connect with our reservation software?
Direct integration with OpenTable, Quandoo, resmio, and similar platforms is not included in the standard setup. Reservations are handed off as structured data via email or webhook (Professional plan and above). For resmio users, an API connection is available through the setup service.
How does it integrate with a hotel front desk?
Talura handles calls in parallel to your front desk — evenings, nights, or when lines are busy. For complex requests it transfers the caller or schedules a callback. Full PMS integration (Apaleo, Mews, etc.) is available as a custom setup.
What happens with language barriers?
Talura can be configured for multiple languages — German and English by default, others on request. If the language cannot be identified, it politely acknowledges the caller and transfers to staff.
Does Talura reliably capture seating preferences?
Yes. Structured data capture includes: party size, date, time, seating preference (window, terrace, quiet), and any allergy notes if mentioned. Talura does not confirm the reservation on its own — it presents the request to you for approval, keeping conflict risk low.
Guest data and GDPR?
Hosted in Germany, data processing agreement included automatically, IP addresses hashed, phone numbers encrypted. See the Privacy section for full details.
