Answered by Lumio for Joyland, a demo venue. Not a real business, nobody will call you back.
Ask it what a parent would ask
"Do you have a room free on the first Saturday in September?"
"How much for twelve kids?"
"Are you open on Sunday evening?"
"Can we bring our own cake?"

No rip-and-replace. Keep your number, keep your tools.

Contacts

A customer list that builds itself.

Every caller becomes a contact, matched by phone number, with their whole history attached. Nobody types anything in. By the end of a busy Saturday you have a customer list you did not have to build.

Pipeline

The money you nearly lost.

Bookings waiting on confirmation, cancellations worth a win-back, and the parents who rang about a party and never booked. These are the ones that usually vanish. Here they sit in a list with a next step attached.

Settings and knowledge base

You own the answers, not us.

Your hours, rooms, party sizes and prices live here, along with the answers the AI gives when a parent asks about socks, allergies or parking. Change one and the next caller hears the new version. It reads like a checklist, not a spreadsheet.

Knowledge base

Example
Can we bring our own cake?
Yes, birthday cake and cupcakes are welcome. No other outside food.
Do parents need socks?
Grip socks required for everyone entering play. Five dollars at the desk.
What's the deposit?
Half up front, balance on the day.
Is there parking? Needs review
Free lot, forty spaces, overflow behind the building.
Change an answer here and the next caller hears the new one.
Where Lumio fits

Three ways to answer your phone.

LumioAll-in-one venue suiteGeneric AI receptionist
Works alongside the system you already run
Knows your rooms, party sizes and prices
Books into a real calendar with real availability
Two families cannot book the same roomVaries
Tells you who called about a party and didn't book
Shows you what each call cost
Live in a day, keep your phone number

The suites are good software. The problem is the switch: new tills, new waivers, new everything, and a month of your life. The cheap receptionists answer the phone but don't know your rooms or your prices, so they take a message and you call back anyway.

Under the hood

Built so it can't get your parties wrong.

Anyone can put a voice on your phone. Here's what happens underneath, and what we did to make sure it holds.

Two families can never book the same room

Enforced in the database itself, not by code remembering to check. We proved it by racing two bookings at the same instant.

It never books you when you're closed

Same guarantee, same place. Ask for a time you're shut and it tells the caller your real hours for that day.

Your data is yours alone

Sealed at the database on every request, so it holds even if our own code has a bug.

It can't be talked into a discount

Prices come from your table and are computed on our side. The AI reads them. It can't change them, and we tried.

Every call shows what it cost

Itemised by supplier. Around ten cents a minute, thirty-eight for a call that ends in a booking.

Tested by callers trying to break it

Hostile, impossible, midnight, changing their minds halfway. It held.

Questions

The things venue owners ask first.

What is Lumio?
An AI receptionist that answers your phone around the clock, plus the software behind it. It knows your rooms, hours and package prices, answers a parent's questions, checks what is genuinely free, and books the party. The booking, the contact and a record of the call land in one system you open the next morning.
Do I have to replace my current booking system?
No. That is the whole idea. Lumio runs alongside whatever you use now. You are not migrating tills, waivers or memberships, and your staff are not learning a new suite.
Do I keep my phone number?
Yes. Your number stays yours. Calls route to Lumio and you can turn that off whenever you want.
Does it send texts?
Not yet. Text messaging in the US needs carrier registration and ours is not finished, so we are not going to pretend otherwise. Voice works today. Texting follows once registration clears.
How long does setup take?
A day. We load your hours, rooms, party sizes, prices and the answers you want callers to hear, then point your number at it. There is no migration because nothing has to move.
What happens if it does not know something?
It says so and offers a callback, then writes down what the caller wanted so you can follow up. It does not guess, because hours, prices and availability come from your data rather than from the AI.
Can it double-book a room?
No. The check happens inside the database at the moment of booking, so two callers on the phone at the same time cannot both take the same room. We tested it by racing two bookings at once.
What does it cost to run?
About ten cents a minute of call time, and roughly thirty-eight cents for a call that ends in a booking. Every call records its own cost, so you can see it rather than take our word for it.
Can other venues see my data?
No. Every venue is sealed off at the database level, enforced on every request. It is a wall, not a policy.
