Asking about an allergy before you go
An allergy conversation held at the table, in a loud room, with a server relaying it to a kitchen, is where things go wrong.
Held in advance by phone with the person who runs the kitchen, it usually goes well — restaurants take it seriously when there is time to plan.
We ask precisely and bring back precisely what they said.
No online booking, no email, a number that rings between two and four in the afternoon — the exact two hours she cannot use a phone at work. They ate somewhere else.
You write this, in any language
Please call this restaurant and ask whether they can accommodate a severe nut allergy, and book a table for two on Friday at 7pm.

Questions people ask
Is this safe to delegate?
The call gets you a verbatim transcript of what the restaurant said, which is more than you would remember from a hurried conversation. Do still tell your server on the night — an allergy should be stated twice, and the second time in person.
What if my English isn't good?
That is who this is built for. You write or speak your request in your own language — English, Chinese, Spanish, Vietnamese, Korean or Russian. The call itself is placed in English, and the transcript and result come back to you in your language.
How do I know what was actually said?
Every call comes back with a full transcript, line by line with timings, plus a short summary of the outcome. Calls are not recorded — you get the text, not the audio.
Will it call without asking me first?
No. You see exactly who is being called and what will be said, and nothing is dialled until you tap confirm.
