Nights, Sundays, and the twenty minutes when the desk is with a client and the line is ringing. It takes the booking, puts it in the book, and sends the confirmation. You find out in the morning.
What matters here is not a demo script — it's what the assistant actually says on a live call.
Hi, is this <salon>? I want to book a haircut for tomorrow evening if possible.
Yes, this is <salon>'s booking line. I can help with that — do you have a stylist you usually see, or should I check who's free?
Anyone's fine, around 6pm.
I have 6:00 with Anjali or 6:30 with Meera tomorrow — both do haircuts. Which would you prefer?
Tamil, Hindi and English, and it switches to whichever the caller speaks — not a menu, a live judgment call on the first few words. For a Tamil Nadu salon this is a qualifying question before it's a feature.
When it can't handle a call — an unusual request, a bad line, a caller who wants to speak to a person — it escalates: takes a voicemail, or offers a callback, and it's in your morning summary either way. We say this plainly because every buyer assumes it happens and will ask.
After-hours and overflow — never a replacement for the front desk. That's the honest position, and it's also what the unit economics require: a full receptionist-load of minutes would produce a bill you didn't expect. See the pricing page for included minutes per plan.
DND-registered and blocked numbers are respected on outbound; every call states it's being recorded and why, with consent logged. Outbound calling to Indian consumers invites this question immediately, so it's answered here rather than in a support ticket.
The after-hours story is half of it. The other half is outbound — rebooking a whole morning while you have your coffee.
