01
The eight o’clock service
Thirty covers to send out and the phone rings six times. Nobody can pick up, and six tables go to the place across the road.
Restaurant
Your restaurant takes bookings in the middle of service.
Cantya answers on the first ring, notes the table, the covers and the time, and sends you the recap. You stay on the floor.
No commitment, hosted in the EU. Up and running in about ten minutes.

When it rings out
Three moments you know by heart
02
Your closing day
You are shut, and people book for the weekend anyway. An answering machine seats nobody.
03
The group enquiry
Twelve people for a birthday. It is the most profitable booking of the week, and it lands while you are in the kitchen.
Listen
Hear Cantya before you decide
A real call, start to finish. Turn the sound up and judge the tone.
Already set up
What Cantya already knows about your trade
This block is not a written promise: it is the configuration shipped with your trade, the one you find when your account opens. All of it can be changed.
Greeting as shipped
« [votre nom] restaurant, hello! What can I do for you? »
Your business name takes the place of the bracket, and you rewrite the whole sentence if it does not sound like you.

What it does at your place
On your calls, concretely
It takes the table, the covers and the time
The three things that make a booking, asked in order and written down without guesswork, including when the caller hesitates or changes their mind.
It answers on allergens and on the menu
Whatever you taught it about your menu it repeats word for word: gluten free, heated terrace, children’s menu, last sitting. On anything else it takes a message.
It handles the group booking
Twelve covers on a Saturday night is not a table for two. It notes the number, the date and the occasion, and leaves the decision to you.
It answers when you are closed
Mondays, at night, between two services: weekend bookings come in at the hours when nobody is in the dining room to pick up.
What it does not do
Better said now than discovered later.
- Its outbound calls follow the script you wrote: it does not decide on its own who to call back, or what to say.
- Front-of-house software, Zenchef and the rest, cannot be connected to Cantya.
- It takes no payment and no card details over the phone.
No detours
Three objections, met head on
« My guests will hang up the moment they hear a robot. »
Cantya speaks plainly, leaves room for pauses and asks again when it did not catch something. You choose its greeting word for word, and you rewrite it whenever you like.
« What if someone calls about something other than a booking? »
It answers what you taught it: hours, allergens, terrace, parking. On anything else it takes a message, which lands on your dashboard, and on WhatsApp if you set an alert there.
« I want to be able to step in. »
A call can be transferred to you at any point, and one button on your dashboard switches Cantya off.
