For Brewery Tours

Incoming Call...

Guest

"Hi, I'd like to book a brewery tour for 8 people this Saturday. What times are available?"

AI Receptionist

"Perfect! We have openings at 2 PM and 4 PM on Saturday. The tour includes tastings and costs $35 per person. Which time works better?"

✓ Tour Booked • Saturday 2 PM

The Problem

BREWERY TOURS
LOSE CUSTOMERS DAILY

You're losing bookings every day while tours run half-empty. Beer enthusiasts call after hours, no-shows waste tour slots, and your staff can't keep up with reservations. There's a better way.

You Miss Bookings When It Matters Most

A craft beer lover discovers your brewery at 9 PM, calls to book a weekend tour, and gets voicemail. By the time you check messages in the morning, they've already booked with another brewery that answered.

The Cost
$3,200/month
Lost per empty tour slot

Your Staff Is Drowning in Calls

While you're leading a tasting tour, five more calls come in. Group bookings, private event inquiries, cancellation requests—you can't be everywhere at once. Guests get frustrated waiting, and you lose reservations.

The Cost
60+ calls/day
Per brewery location

Tour No-Shows and You Lose Them Forever

You reserve tour spots, prep the tasting room, and wait. They don't show. You send one follow-up text that gets ignored. That's it—they're gone. No second chance, no recovery, just wasted capacity and empty seats on your tour.
