AI phone receptionist

The AI phone receptionist for dog grooming salons

With a dog in the tub nobody gets to the phone. The assistant asks the breed, the size and the coat, works out how long the job takes and books the slot.

Bau e Co grooming, good morning. I am the salon's virtual assistant, how can I help?
I would like to book a wash for my golden retriever.
Of course. For a golden I allow about two hours for the bath, the drying and the brush out. Would Tuesday at 9:00 or Wednesday at 14:30 suit you?
New bookingDog grooming salons

In a grooming salon your hands are wet most of the day and the dryer drowns out the ring. Someone calling to get the dog washed before the weekend leaves no message: they try the groomer one street over. Rispondly's assistant answers, works out what kind of dog it is, offers a slot of the right length and sends you the booking on WhatsApp.

What happens today

Without an assistant

  • The dryer covers the ringtone and your hands are deep in a wet coat.
  • A pug and a newfoundland do not take the same time, but on the phone nobody asks.
  • In spring, with the moult, calls double while the tables are already full.
  • People booking a wash before the holidays ring early in the morning or late at night.

With the assistant

  • Asks size and coat
  • Keeps the day in order
  • Holds up in peak season
  • Remembers the house rules

What the assistant says on the phone

Natural voice, handles interruptions, one question at a time. It always says it is a virtual assistant, as the law requires. If the request is complicated, it transfers the call to you or takes a message.

What changes with Rispondly

Asks size and coat

Breed, weight, long or short coat, matting: the assistant holds two hours for a newfoundland and forty minutes for a dachshund.

Keeps the day in order

Every dog gets its own slot, drying time included. You do not end up with three big washes at the same hour.

Holds up in peak season

The spring moult, the week before Christmas: the assistant answers everyone in the same minute, even when calls double.

Remembers the house rules

The vaccination record, dogs to flag as difficult, arrivals more than fifteen minutes late: what you say, the assistant says too.

Let's talk

The trial lasts 14 days: you enter a card, the first charge comes only after that, and you can cancel any time. Calls are billed per second. A typical booking takes 60 to 90 seconds: 80 minutes cover roughly 55 calls a month, 250 minutes roughly 180.

Frequently asked questions

Can it tell dogs apart by size?
Yes. You give us the durations by size or by breed and the assistant asks the weight and the coat type before offering a time, so the slot matches the real work.
Can it take cats too?
Yes. If you groom cats, give us the timings and the prices: the assistant asks whether the animal has been groomed before and flags the delicate cases.
What does it do when a client cancels?
It takes the cancellation, tells you on WhatsApp and offers an alternative date straight away, so the slot does not stay empty.
