Incoming Call...

Customer

"Hi, I want to book 4 stations for my son's birthday party. Do you have Saturday afternoon available?"

AI Receptionist

"Perfect! We have 2 PM available—4 stations for 2 hours, includes party room. That's $280. Can I book that for you?"

✓ Party Booked • 4 Stations

The Problem

VR ARCADES ARE
LOSING CUSTOMERS

You're losing bookings every hour your phone goes unanswered. Players call during peak gaming hours, walk-ins get ignored during rushes, and your staff can't keep up while running games.

You Miss Calls During Your Busiest Hours

A group wants to book Friday night at 7 PM, calls while you're helping players in headsets, and gets no answer. By the time you see the missed call, they've already booked at the arcade down the street.

The Cost
$450/booking
Lost per missed group

Your Staff Is Overwhelmed During Sessions

While you're managing VR stations, calls keep coming. Birthday party inquiries, equipment questions, walk-in customers waiting—you can't run games and answer phones at once. Callers hang up, and bookings go elsewhere.

The Cost
30+ calls/day
During peak hours alone

Bookings No-Show and Slots Go Empty

You block off four VR stations for a 6 PM group. They don't show. You send one text reminder that gets ignored. That's it—prime time slots wasted, revenue gone, and no way to fill those stations last minute.
