Bonnie alternative for any business, not just hospitality

Bonnie is built for hospitality. If that is not your line of work, BeepSweep is a good alternative.

Below is what BeepSweep does when your phone rings, and what it costs.

Bonnie is built for restaurants and hotels

Their product is built around reservations: tables, guests and links to booking systems. For a business outside hospitality that does not line up.

This is not a shortcoming on Bonnie’s part. They picked a niche and serve it well, with nine reservation systems a restaurant can switch on straight away.

But a garage does not book covers and a driving school has no floor plan. If you are looking for something for another kind of business, you are not after something better but something else.

BeepSweep answers the phone for any kind of business

It answers your main number, handles the questions whose answers are on record, books appointments and transfers to the right employee where needed.

You fill the knowledge base with what applies to you: opening hours, the area you cover, rates, what you do and do not take on. That is what it answers from, in the language of the caller.

Appointments and bookings land in your own calendar. It works with the systems you already use.

The message reaches the employee themselves

If a person has to step in, it goes to whoever deals with it. If they do not pick up, they get a message about it.

That is the difference with a notice in a shared mailbox. The employee who knows the answer is usually busy, whether they are out on a job or with a customer.

They see the call in their own inbox, alongside the shared company one, on the computer and in the app. With Bonnie an email goes to the team.

What it costs

BeepSweep costs €99 excl. VAT a month, plus €15 per employee. Bonnie starts at €135 a month and charges €0.40 a minute above that.

Three employees comes to €129 a month, five to €160.

Bonnie’s €135 plan includes 500 call minutes, €215 includes 1,000 and €420 includes 2,000. The busier you get, the more the bill follows.

How that sits against the rest of the market is in what an AI receptionist costs, and the full price breakdown is on its own page.

It is an option for a restaurant too

If Bonnie does not work with your reservation system, it is an option for a restaurant as well. The same goes if the per minute charges add up too fast.

And there is something else that counts in a venue: the call that does not fit the reservation system. A coat left behind, or a party of ten cancelling at quarter past six.

That belongs with the floor manager while the table can still be sold.
