Cost at 500 calls a month

Partlyfrom Core

Their words
Starting at $399 *per location

slang.aiPricing plan cards, Core column price cell

What it bills by

Billing is a flat recurring fee per restaurant location rather than per minute or per call, with the published figures starting at $399 and $599 a location and no call allowance printed on the plan cards.

Their words
Starting at $399 *per location

slang.aiPricing plan cards, Core column price cell

Past your allowance

Partly

No overage rate is published; the terms instead say that exceeding the usage limits on your order form moves you onto a higher price tier for subsequent fees, which is an automatic upgrade rather than a stated per-unit charge.

Their words
If Customer exceeds any user or usage limitations set forth on an Order Form ... Slang shall invoice Customer for such additional users or usage at the now applicable Price Tier

slang.aiTerms of Service, clause 6 Fees; Payment

What it does on the call

8 answers
Books appointments

Yes

The AI completes the booking inside the restaurant's own reservation system during the call, and guests can also modify or cancel, rather than merely being sent a booking link by text.

Their words
Yes. Slang AI integrates directly with reservation systems like OpenTable and SevenRooms to book reservations in real-time during the call, without any staff involvement.

slang.aiFrequently asked questions, 'Can AI take restaurant reservations?'

Transfers to a person

Partly

Calls it cannot handle are forwarded to a human and VIP callers can be routed straight to staff, but the vendor nowhere states that staff are briefed first, so a warm transfer is not established.

Their words
If a question is not recognized, Slang AI will automatically forward to a human or text a link with your email and other contact information (you can customize this).

slang.aiFrequently Asked Questions, 'What happens when Slang AI can't answer a caller's question?'

After-hours rules

Yes

The product answers around the clock and call scheduling lets an operator set different routing during and after business hours, including how VIP calls are handled out of hours.

Their words
Whether it's setting up call forwarding or telling Slang AI how you want to route VIP calls during or after business hours, we've got you covered with easy-to-use call scheduling.

slang.aiAnswering Calls section, 'Flexible Call Handling'

Urgent calls escalated

Partlyfrom Premium

Real-time topic alerts push matters such as complaints or lost items straight to a manager's phone, but that feature sits on the Premium plan and the vendor describes no emergency detection or on-call rota.

Their words
Set up real-time topic alerts to go straight to your phone, for everything from a lost item or a customer complaint, so you never leave guests hanging.

slang.aiFeature comparison table, 'Real Time Alerts' row

Human receptionists as backup

No

There is no human answering team behind the AI: unrecognised questions are forwarded to the restaurant's own staff or answered with a text, and the vendor is explicit that it supports rather than replaces staff.

Their words
No. AI phone answering is designed to support your staff, not replace them. It handles routine phone calls so your team can stay focused on delivering great in-person guest experiences.

slang.aiFrequently asked questions, 'Does AI replace restaurant staff?'

Asks your questions

Partly

Prompts ship pre-built from the vendor's own call corpus and routing is configurable per restaurant, but writing your own intake question set is only described as Enterprise custom workflows, not as a self-service feature.

Their words
Customize Slang AI to your restaurant's experience. Need a human touch? Create custom call-routing to send the right calls, to the right staff.

slang.ai'Tailored to you' feature block

Answers about your business

Yes

It answers hours, menu, dietary, parking and policy questions from information the restaurant supplies at setup, and the vendor stresses answers come from approved content rather than open-ended generation.

Their words
Yes. The AI can answer common questions about your menu, dietary options, hours, location, parking, and more — all based on information you provide during setup.

slang.aiFrequently asked questions, 'Can AI answer menu questions?'

Texts your callers

Partlyfrom Premium

Every plan can text guests links and confirmations during a call, but two-way automated text conversations are the Direct Text feature, which the comparison table only ticks for Premium and Enterprise.

Their words
Direct Text Enable fully automated AI-powered texting.

slang.aiFeature comparison table, 'Direct Text' row

What you get after the call

2 answers
Call summary by text

Partly

Call summaries, recordings and transcripts are collected in the dashboard on every plan; push-to-phone delivery exists only as Premium real-time topic alerts, and no per-call SMS summary is described.

Their words
Automatically capture full guest call recordings, call summaries, and reservation-level insights that help you make smarter decisions.

slang.aiFeature comparison table, 'Call Recordings, Summaries & Reservation Insights' row

Recordings and transcripts

Yes

Full recordings, written transcripts, summaries and caller details are kept together in the dashboard so staff can listen back and read what was said on any guest call.

Their words
Access guest information, call summaries, call recordings, and transcripts, in one centralized place.

slang.aiGuest Follow-Up section, 'Easily get guest information, call summaries, call recordings, and transcripts'

What it connects to

2 answers
CRM, Zapier and webhooks

Partlyfrom Enterprise

No CRM, Zapier or webhook route is published for the standard plans; lead data flows to event platforms Tripleseat and Perfect Venue, and anything else is sold as Enterprise custom integration work.

Their words
Custom Integrations Enterprise-grade integrations tailored to your tech stack.

slang.aiFeature comparison table, 'Custom Integrations' row

Your trade’s software

Yes

It connects to the software restaurants actually run on: OpenTable, SevenRooms, Yelp and Resy for reservations, plus Tripleseat and Perfect Venue for private events and catering leads.

Their words
Slang AI integrates with OpenTable, SevenRooms, Tripleseat, Perfect Venue and Yelp, so guests can book and manage reservations and events by phone.

Trying it, starting and leaving

4 answers
Free trial or free plan

Partly

There is no free plan; the only free way in is a pilot or evaluation arrangement, where the contract can be cancelled within thirty days of the effective date and fees paid for the evaluation service are refunded.

Their words
Customer may terminate this Agreement and all Order Forms then in effect on written notice to Slang within thirty (30) days of the Effective Date (the "Pilot Period")

slang.aiTerms of Service, clause 11 Term; Termination

Card required to start

No

Buying runs through an order form and invoicing rather than a card checkout: fees are invoiced monthly in advance and payable within thirty days, so no card is taken up front.

Their words
all Fees shall be invoiced monthly in advance and all invoices issued under this Agreement are payable in U.S. dollars within thirty (30) days from date of invoice

slang.aiTerms of Service, clause 6 Fees; Payment

Sign up without a sales call

No

Prices are published but not buyable online: every plan button reads Get a quote, and the vendor says pricing is customised to call volume, locations and features and directs buyers to its team.

Their words
Pricing is customized based on call volume, number of locations, and feature requirements. View Slang AI pricing details or contact our team for a specific quote tailored to your restaurant.

slang.aiPricing Comparison section, Slang AI paragraph

Contract and cancelling

Partly

Term length lives in each order form rather than on the site, renewal is automatic for an equal period, and leaving requires written notice at least thirty days before the term ends, so you cannot cancel on the spot.

Their words
shall automatically renew for additional successive periods of equal duration to the Order Form Initial Term ... unless either party notifies the other party of such party's intention not to renew no later than thirty (30) days prior

slang.aiTerms of Service, clause 11 Term; Termination

Which languages it speaks, and how it sounds

3 answers
Languages

Partlyfrom Premium

The Core plan is limited to bilingual Spanish conversations; automatic detection and mid-call switching across 97 languages comes with Superhost, which the pricing table ties to the Premium plan.

Their words
Serve more guests in their preferred language, with Superhost automatically detecting and switching between 97 languages, even mid-call.

slang.aiFeature comparison table, '97 Languages' row

Choose or clone the voice

Partlyfrom Premium

You pick from a fixed library of twenty premium voices with American, British and Australian accents and set custom greetings; nothing on the site offers cloning your own or a staff member's voice.

Their words
Choose from 20 premium voices and custom greetings to deliver a consistent, on-brand experience at every location.

slang.aiFeature comparison table, 'Custom Branding' row

Hear it before you buy

Partly

A public voice library plays recorded samples of each available voice, but the vendor publishes no demo phone number to call: the demo path is a form request handled by its team.

Their words
Listen to the natural, on-brand voices available with Slang AI. Choose the voice and accent that fits your restaurant and sounds great on every call.

Your phone number and where it works

2 answers

Their words
We provide you with a new phone number to put on your website and your Google Business Profile. You can request either a local or a toll-free number. It's also possible to keep your existing number
