For Petting Zoos
Incoming Call...
Parent
"Hi, I'm planning my daughter's 6th birthday party. Do you have availability next Saturday?"
AI Receptionist
"Yes! We have 2 PM available—includes animal feeding, pony rides, and a party area. Can I book that for you?"
✓ Party Booked • Sat 2 PM
You're losing group bookings every day your phone goes unanswered. Families call during feeding time, birthday parties no-show, and your staff can't keep up with scheduling. There's a better way.
A mom finds your petting zoo at 10 PM while planning her daughter's birthday, calls, and gets voicemail. By the time you check messages in the morning, she's already booked with a competitor who answered instantly.
While you're feeding the goats, three more calls come in. Birthday party inquiries, field trip requests, pricing questions—you can't be everywhere at once. Families get frustrated waiting, and you lose bookings.
You prep the petting area, stock feed bags, and wait. They don't show. You send one follow-up text that gets ignored. That's it—they're gone. No second chance, no recovery, just wasted prep time and another empty time slot.
