01 · WHAT CHANGES

Every enquiry becomes a booking — not a missed call.

A guest who waits an hour for a reply books elsewhere. MetaSolves makes the front desk a system that never sleeps — so the message at midnight turns into a confirmed, reminded booking by morning.

Today

  • Enquiries land at 23:00 and sit unanswered until morning.
  • WhatsApp, email and Booking.com all need a different person watching.
  • By the time someone replies, the guest has booked next door.
  • No-shows leave empty tables and unsold beds on your busiest nights.

With MetaSolves

  • Every enquiry is answered in seconds, warmly, day or night.
  • One front-of-house across WhatsApp, email and Booking.com.
  • The booking is taken while the guest is still interested.
  • A reminder the day before cuts no-shows and fills the room.
02 · THE TEAM

Four roles. One front-of-house.

Not a chatbot — a front-of-house team, each role removing one concrete reason a booking slips away.

The Host
Greets every guest

Answers every enquiry in seconds, with warmth — the way your best maître d' would, only it never goes off shift and never leaves a message waiting.

The Booking
Takes & manages reservations

Takes and manages reservations across WhatsApp, email and Booking.com — checks availability, holds the table or bed, and keeps one clean view of who's coming.

The Reminder
Confirms the day before

Sends a warm confirmation the day before every booking — the single biggest cut to no-shows, so the tables and beds you sold actually show up.

The Concierge
Answers anything

Answers menu, rates, directions and availability straight from your own system — so guests get the right answer instantly, not "let me check and get back to you".

03 · HOW IT WORKS

Live in days — nothing to rip out.

It sits on top of the channels you already use. No new system, no app for guests, no months of setup.

1

Connect your channels

Your WhatsApp, email and Booking.com inbox all route through one AI front-of-house. Guests notice only the speed and the warmth.

2

Teach it your venue

We load your menu or rates, hours, availability and your tone of voice — so every reply sounds like your venue, not a robot.

3

It runs the front desk

It answers, takes the booking, reminds the guest and hands anything special to your team — with the full conversation already in hand.

04 · THE NUMBERS

05 · SECURITY & CONTROL

Your guests, your data, your call.

The two questions every owner asks before they switch on — answered before you ask them.

🛡

"Where does our data live?"

On infrastructure in Johannesburg (Vultr JNB) — your guest data stays in South Africa, never leaves the country, and is handled to be POPIA-compliant by design. You stay in control of what it can see and do.

"Will guests know it's AI?"

It handles the back-and-forth instantly and warmly, in your venue's voice. Your team steps in for anything special — a big celebration, a tricky request — with full context already in hand. Guests get faster, smoother service, not colder.

From a venue like yours
"The midnight WhatsApps used to become tomorrow's missed bookings. Now they're confirmed before I'm awake — and the reminders alone cut our no-shows in half. The lodge feels fully booked again."
