Build a call tool for restaurant reservations
They made a phone-calling tool so agents can ring restaurants and arrange table bookings, including giving a callback number during the call.
- What they did
- Jake built callforme.tel for MCP-based agents such as Claude and ChatGPT. The agent places the restaurant call, asks for the reservation, and can supply a callback number if the staff asks for one while the call is in progress. He also set up a fake pizza restaurant at (469) 770-7412 so people can try it without signing up.
- How it went
- No usage numbers or booking results were shared. The test number is free to use, but it is only for testing.
- Tips
- If you build something similar, make sure the agent can pause for your approval before any real booking is submitted. Test the call flow with a harmless number first so you can check how it handles callback requests.
Try it yourself with Claude Code
Help me design a small tool that lets an AI agent place phone calls to reserve a table. It should accept [restaurant name and phone number], [date], [time], [party size], and [callback number]. If the restaurant asks for a callback number during the call, provide [callback number] and continue the conversation. Before any real reservation is submitted, pause and show me the exact call script for approval. Then make one test call to [test number] and report what happened.
Fill in the [brackets]. Agents can make mistakes, so review anything before it is sent, paid or deleted.
