FAQ
What to know before Zio answers your restaurant’s calls.
Straight answers about menu information, reservation requests, booking connections, call transfers, and what guests will hear.
Does Zio answer with my restaurant’s actual information?
Yes. Zio Voice uses the menu, hours, parking details, reservation policies, event information, FAQs, and routing rules you provide.
Can we keep our current restaurant number?
Yes. You can forward missed, overflow, or after-hours calls from your current number so guests keep calling the number they already know.
Can Zio answer menu and dietary questions?
Yes, when those details are provided. Zio Voice should only answer from your approved menu and policy information, not invent items, ingredients, prices, or availability.
Can Zio take reservation or event requests?
Yes. Zio Voice can ask for the requested date and time, party size, reason for the call, and guest contact details, then send your team a summary.
Can Zio confirm bookings or wait times?
Only when a supported calendar or booking connection is set up. Without that connection, Zio captures the request and routes it to staff without confirming availability, bookings, or wait times.
What is included in the $199/month plan?
Zio Core includes 1000 minutes, text or email summaries, a 14-day free trial, and cancel anytime billing after the trial.
Will guests know it is AI?
Zio Voice is an AI receptionist. It is built to be clear, helpful, and practical for routine restaurant calls, not to pretend to be a human host.
What happens after the 14-day trial?
After 14 days, your trial ends and your account pauses unless you choose to subscribe. There is no automatic billing because no credit card is required to start.
