Do you only work with businesses in the West Loop?

No. The system is remote and serves the near-west side and the Loop, the West Loop, Fulton Market, the West Town and River West edges, and into downtown. We highlight the West Loop because its mix of restaurants, offices, and new residents generates more inbound demand than most teams can answer live.

We're a restaurant, does it replace OpenTable?

No, it sits in front of it. The agent handles the phone calls, DMs, and inquiries that come in around your reservation system and routes bookings into the tool you already use. It captures the demand your platform never sees because it arrived by phone or DM during the rush.

Can it capture catering and private-event inquiries?

Yes, and in a buyout-heavy district like Fulton Market that's often the biggest reason to run it. The agent captures the date, headcount, budget, and details 24/7 and hands your events team a qualified lead instead of a voicemail returned two days later.

How fast can a West Loop business go live?

Most businesses are live in 5 to 7 days on Awake. We connect your number and accounts and train the agent on your menu, services, and policies before it handles a real guest or client. The Climbing plan with voice AI takes 10 to 14 days.

Restaurant Row and a tech-office corridor, high demand, thin time to answer it.

The West Loop and Fulton Market are Chicago's fastest-moving district: Randolph's Restaurant Row, the tech and corporate offices that anchor the neighborhood, and a wave of new residential high-rises bringing in residents who run their whole lives from their phones. The demand is enormous, and the time anyone has to answer a call is almost none.

For the restaurants and hospitality businesses, the phone rings hardest at exactly the hours the floor is slammed: a reservation, an eight-top, a buyout inquiry, a catering order, gone to voicemail because every hand is on service. For the professional and service businesses, leads come in from busy people during off-hours and get one shot to be answered before they move on.

In a neighborhood this competitive, slow-to-respond loses. The fix isn't more marketing, it's answering every reservation, inquiry, and form the second it arrives, so the demand you already have converts instead of leaking to the spot next door.

Real client

Car Hub, Macomb Township: 10 booked jobs in week one.

Our first client is an independent auto shop outside Detroit. Not a Fulton Market restaurant, but the same lesson about answering fast. Before the system went live, calls that came in while the team was busy died in voicemail and the business went elsewhere. In its first week, it booked 10 jobs that would otherwise have been lost.

For a West Loop business, that's a host or front desk that never steps away. During the rush, the agent fields the reservation call, captures the private-event lead, or books the appointment, so your team stays with the guests and clients in front of them.

The system, end to end.

Reservation & inquiry calls during the rush

When the floor is slammed and the line is busy, the agent answers, takes the reservation or routes it to your booking tool, and captures the overflow you'd otherwise lose to voicemail.

Catering & private-event capture

Buyouts, large parties, and catering, your highest-margin inquiries, get captured 24/7 with date, headcount, and budget, and land as a lead your events lead can close.

DM auto-reply

Instagram, Facebook, WhatsApp, and Google Business Messages get instant replies with hours, menus, booking links, and answers, the channels this neighborhood actually uses.

Voice AI & follow-up (Climbing)

Voice AI picks up when no one can, and automated reminders plus review requests keep tables full and ratings high. Bilingual English/Spanish handling is available on this plan.

West Loop, Fulton Market, and the near-west side.

We work with businesses across the West Loop and Fulton Market, Randolph and Fulton, the Green and Pink Line corridor, and the residential towers filling in around them, plus the greater near-west side and into the Loop. The system is remote-first and fits a single restaurant or a multi-location group.

It's trained on your business, menu, hours, policies, services, and event offerings, and handles reservations and inquiries the way a great host or front desk would. For anything that needs judgment, like comping or a complaint, it routes straight to your manager with the context.
