Guests have questions all day, every day
Running a restaurant or lodging business already stretches your team. The phone rings during the dinner rush. Website inquiries sit unanswered for hours. Social DMs keep coming long after closing time.
It is the same questions again and again: What are your hours? Do you take reservations? Is parking available?
Meanwhile, your staff gets pulled away, service slows down, and guests are left waiting.
Hospitality teams should not have to choose between caring for guests and answering routine questions.
You don’t have to handle this alone
At WhirLocal, we understand how hard it is to run a restaurant or lodging business.
That is why we created Kalee, your AI hospitality employee.
Kalee is trained to answer routine questions across phone calls, website inquiries (live chat), and social media DMs so your team can stay focused on serving guests.
