Everything a packed dance floor drowns out, Zavo catches.
The booth enquiries and celebration bookings buried under a busy night — and how Zavo books each one.
- The phone rings out under the music
- Guestlist requests pile up unanswered
- Booth and bottle enquiries hit voicemail
- Birthday groups try the club down the road
- Door staff pulled off the rope to relay calls
- Every call answered, even at peak
- Guests added to the list in seconds
- VIP tables booked against your plan
- Celebrations captured on a deposit
- Your team stays working the room
Every booth booked before the doors open.
Your AI host handles the calls a packed dance floor drowns out — answering over the music, booking the VIP booths, working the guestlist and the door, and passing the big bottle-service groups to you.
Answers every call over the music
Picks up in seconds while the room is full and the bass is thumping — the moments when nobody on the floor or the door can hear a ringtone, let alone take a booking. Clubbers reach a clear voice rather than a dead line, so the booth enquiries land instead of going to the venue down the strip.
Books VIP booths and bottle tables
Reads your table plan and reserves the right booth for the night — by the DJ, on the rail, in the VIP room — offering only what's genuinely free for that date, so a sell-out Saturday fills cleanly and your best tables are never double-promised across two promoters.
Adds guests to the list and answers the door
Takes guestlist names and group sizes, and answers the questions that ring all night — dress code, last entry, age and ID, whether there's a queue jump — so the door team isn't pulled off the rope to relay a message and clubbers turn up already knowing the rules.
Captures birthday and celebration bookings
When a group rings to plan a birthday, a hen do, or a leaving night, it takes the numbers, the date, and the package they want — sparklers, a reserved booth, a bottle on arrival — so the celebrations that spend big land as proper leads rather than a half-heard shout across a loud bar.
Routes the big bottle-service groups to you
Spots a booking worth a manager's eye — a magnum package, a fifteen-strong VIP table, a promoter holding a section — and puts it through with the details attached, so the high-spend groups that make a Saturday never sit unanswered in voicemail until you check after close.
Confirms and reminds before the night
Texts a confirmation the moment a booth is reserved, sends a reminder on the day, and takes a deposit or minimum-spend payment by secure link for the biggest tables — so prime sections are held on a real commitment and a no-show doesn't leave the best booth empty on your busiest night.
What Zavo does for your nightclub.
Fills the VIP booths
Reserves your bottle-service tables around the clock, so a big Saturday sells its sections in advance instead of leaving the prime booth by the DJ empty because nobody could hear the phone.
Wins the celebration bookings
Captures the birthdays, hen dos, and leaving nights that bring a dozen spenders through the door, with the date and the package attached, so the groups that lift a quiet midweek land with you.
Holds tables on a deposit
Takes a deposit or minimum-spend payment by secure link for the biggest tables, so a prime section is held on a genuine commitment and doesn't fall through an hour before the doors open.
Works the guestlist
Adds names and plus-ones to the list as the calls come in, so your promoters' guests are already down and the door moves quickly instead of holding up the queue while someone checks a phone.
Answers the door questions
Handles the constant dress-code, last-entry, and ID questions instantly in your club's voice, so clubbers arrive knowing the rules and your door team stays working the rope, not relaying messages.
Keeps staff on the floor
Your bar and door team stay serving and managing the room instead of breaking off to answer, so the night keeps moving when the place is at capacity and the phone won't stop.
Books ahead of the weekend
Takes table and guestlist bookings midweek and late at night, when groups are planning where to go, so you lock in the crowd well before the bigger clubs in town pick up.
Never a missed booth enquiry
The groups who ring at peak or long after the lights come up are answered and captured, so a heaving Saturday never quietly sends a fifteen-strong VIP table to a rival venue.
Here's what you can expect
Based on a typical late-night club losing booth and celebration bookings to a phone nobody can hear once the room fills. Your numbers move with your nights, your sections, and how much bottle service you do.
The booth enquiries, bottle-service groups, and birthday bookings a busy phone would have dropped on a packed night, taken instead. Across a month of weekends those bookings add up — around £5,000 a month back through the door, and a team that stays running the room rather than fighting to hear the phone at peak.
An answering service for nightclubs built for the late-night rush
From the first guestlist request to the last bottle-table booking, Zavo answers your club's phone the way a sharp host would — and never misses a call because the room is too loud to hear it.
A nightclub makes its money in a handful of hours when the room is at capacity, the music is loud, and not a single member of the team can hear a phone ring. That's exactly when the calls that matter come in — a group wanting a VIP booth, a birthday party of twelve, a promoter adding names to the list — and exactly when they go unanswered. The high-spend bottle-service bookings that lift a Saturday are the easiest of all to lose to the club down the strip. A nightclub running Zavo takes virtually every call in around two seconds and recovers the booths and celebration bookings a busy phone would otherwise drop.
An out-of-hours answering service for your nightclub
Most club bookings are made when there's no one free to take them — midweek while a group plans the weekend, or in the small hours after a big night. A standard answering service just takes a message. Zavo works as a genuine out-of-hours answering service for your nightclub: it answers in your name, reserves the booth for the right night, and has it confirmed and waiting for you, so a heaving Saturday or a closed Monday never costs you the crowd for the weekend coming.
Books VIP booths and bottle-service tables
Zavo reads your table plan and reserves the right section for the night — by the DJ, on the rail, in the VIP room — offering only what's genuinely free, so a sell-out night fills without two promoters claiming the same booth. It works as nightclub table booking software your guests never see: every reservation is confirmed by text, reminders go out on the day, and a deposit or minimum-spend payment can be taken by secure link, so your prime booths are held on real commitments rather than promises that flake before the doors open.
Manages the guestlist and answers the door
The questions that ring a club all night are about getting in — dress code, last entry, age and ID, whether there's a queue jump — and answering them pulls a doorman off the rope. Trained on your rules, Zavo answers each one instantly and accurately, and adds guestlist names and plus-ones as the calls come in, so the list is down before the queue forms. It only ever says what you've configured, so it won't promise entry your door can't honour or get your Challenge 25 line wrong.
Captures birthday and celebration bookings
Birthdays, hen dos, and leaving nights bring a dozen spenders through the door, and they're the calls most easily lost in the noise. Zavo acts as lead capture for these celebrations:
- How many in the group, and the night and occasion they're booking for
- Which package they want — a reserved booth, a bottle on arrival, sparklers
- Any minimum spend agreed, taken by secure link to hold the table
- A name and number, routed to your manager when the group is big enough to confirm by hand
Instead of a half-heard shout across a loud bar, every celebration enquiry is captured and held — so the groups that pack the place out land with you, not a rival venue.
Works with your booking system — DesignMyNight, Tablelist and more
Zavo plugs into the systems clubs actually run — DesignMyNight, Tablelist, and your ticketing on Fatsoma or DICE — so it always reserves against live availability and writes every booth booking, guestlist add, and deposit back cleanly. If you keep your table plan and list your own way, that's no problem: it can still capture each booking in a structured format and deliver it however suits your night. It sits within our wider hospitality range too, so a late-night operator that also runs a bar or kitchen can use the broader AI host for hospitality across all of it.
Live in a night, in your club's voice
You won't replace your phone system or install any hardware. Redirect your existing number to Zavo, connect your table system, and brief it on your booths, your guestlist, your door rules, and your minimum spends. From the first call it answers in your club's voice — clear and quick whatever the room is doing — and you can listen back to conversations and refine its answers as your nights and DJ lineups change. Most managers find the longest part is simply keeping the door rules and table plan up to date, which keeps the whole front of house sharper anyway.
AI booking line vs a traditional answering service
A phone-answering service only records a message for you to chase up. Zavo does the job — reserves the booth, works the list, answers the door, and holds your prime sections on a deposit.

Door rules honoured, prime booths protected.
Door rules, said straight
The host repeats only what you've configured — your line on age and ID, Challenge 25, dress code, and last entry — so a clubber never hears a promise the door can't honour, and every call is logged with a transcript.
Deposits and minimum spends, kept safe
Deposits and minimum-spend payments for VIP tables run through a secure link rather than card numbers shouted over the bar, so a prime booth is held without your team handling sensitive details.
Nightclubs that fill every booth.
What club owners tell us once Zavo is taking the late-night calls.
“On a Saturday the phone is useless — you can't hear it over the room. Now every booth enquiry is answered and half of them turn into a bottle booking.”
“Birthday groups were ringing and getting voicemail, then going elsewhere. Zavo takes the date and the package and hands it to me ready to confirm.”
“The dress-code and last-entry calls used to drag a doorman off the rope all night. They're answered in seconds now and the queue keeps moving.”
“A magnum table for sixteen came in at 2am on a Tuesday. Zavo captured it and routed it to me — that's a section we'd have lost completely.”
“Prime booths used to be held on a promise and flake on the night. A deposit link sorted it — the best sections are full every weekend now.”
“My guestlist used to live across three phones. Now the names go straight down as the calls come in and the door has the list ready.”
“It sounds like one of our hosts and knows exactly which booths are free. Callers get a straight answer and we get the booking on the books.”
“We had it live for one weekend and it tied into our table system. Not one bottle-service enquiry has slipped since, peak or after the lights came up.”

Frequently asked questions, answered honestly.
Yes. Zavo connects to the systems clubs run — DesignMyNight, Tablelist, and your ticketing on Fatsoma or DICE — and reserves booths against your live table plan, so it only ever offers a section that's genuinely free for that night. Every booking, deposit, and guestlist add writes back in real time, so your plan stays accurate and the prime booth by the DJ is never promised to two groups. If you keep your tables your own way, Zavo still captures each booking cleanly and sends it to your inbox or a shared sheet your team checks before the doors open. Tell us how you take bookings on the night now and we'll set it up around your setup, rather than asking a busy team to learn a new tool.
Yes, and that's what most groups ring for. When a caller wants a table, Zavo takes the night, the numbers, and where they want to sit — by the DJ, on the rail, in the VIP room — checks your live plan, and reserves the right booth. It only offers what's genuinely free, confirms by text, and logs it instantly. For your biggest sections it takes a deposit or minimum-spend payment by secure link so the table is really held. The bottle-service bookings that used to be claimed over a noisy bar and forgotten become real reservations tied to the right night. The high-spend groups that ring while your team can't hear the phone are captured instead of lost to the club down the road.
Yes. As calls and messages come in, Zavo takes guestlist names and plus-ones and adds them to your list, so the door has everyone down before the queue even forms. It captures who put each guest on — a promoter, a regular, a birthday group — and the size of the party, so nothing is lost in three different phones across the night. Your promoters' guests are recorded consistently and your door team works from one clean list rather than chasing a name nobody wrote down. You decide what the list holds and who can add to it, and every entry is logged so you can see exactly how the night was built. It keeps the rope moving on your busiest weekends.
Yes — these are the calls Zavo is keenest to catch, because birthdays, hen dos, and leaving nights bring a dozen spenders through the door and are the easiest to miss in the noise. For a celebration it takes the group size, the night, the occasion, and the package they want — a reserved booth, a bottle on arrival, sparklers — then either books it against your plan or routes it to your manager with everything attached. When you want a minimum spend to hold the table, it sends a secure link. Because it works at peak and long after close, the group planning a 30th late on a Tuesday is captured rather than lost. Winning more of these is, for most clubs, the quickest payback.
Yes — the biggest tables are the ones it works hardest to catch. When a magnum package, a fifteen-strong VIP table, or a promoter holding a section calls in, Zavo takes the numbers, the spend, and the night, then routes the enquiry straight to whoever you've named, with everything attached so you can confirm. Routine smaller bookings and door questions are handled or logged, so you're only pulled in for the groups that move a Saturday. Promoters get their guests on the list and their sections recorded without tying up your team mid-night. You set the threshold for what reaches you by hand, and a deposit link goes out for the tables worth protecting, so your highest-spend bookings never sit in voicemail until you check after close.
Yes — what gets a manager's attention is entirely your call. It spots the bookings that count — a large VIP table, a corporate section, a promoter's group — and routes them to whoever you've named, with a short briefing on what was said. Routine booth bookings and door questions are handled or logged, so your team isn't pulled off the floor mid-night for a table for four. You set the thresholds — what's put through immediately, what's logged for later, and who handles which kind of group. A magnum table no longer waits in voicemail until someone checks after the lights come up — your nominated contact is flagged in seconds and can call back while the group is still deciding where to go.
Yes. Because the host only repeats what you've set up, it stays within your licence and your door policy. You tell it your line on age and ID, your Challenge 25 stance, the dress code, last entry on a big night, and anything else that matters at the door, and it says exactly that — never promising entry the door can't honour. Anything that calls for real judgement is noted and handed to you rather than guessed at. Every call is logged with a transcript, so you have a clean record of what a clubber was told, which helps if a group turns up expecting something different. The agent answers and books within the rules you set, not the decisions that are properly the door team's, so your venue is represented consistently every weekend.
Yes. Every call runs over an encrypted connection and is stored encrypted, with access gated, controlled, and fully logged, and the host shares only what you've set up. Guest names, numbers, and booking details are held to enterprise standards and never sold on or fed to third-party training models. Where a deposit or minimum spend is taken for a VIP table, it runs through a secure link, so card details never pass over a loud booking call or sit with your team. Every call keeps a full audit trail, so satisfying your data-protection obligations and checking back over how a booking was handled is simple. If you have particular requirements about how long booking data is kept, we'll go over Zavo's retention settings with you beforehand, so you're comfortable from the first weekend.
That's the whole reason it exists. When the room is at capacity and the music is loud, your phone rings hardest exactly when nobody can hear it — so the bookings vanish. Zavo answers every one of those calls at once, with no queue and no hold music, reserving booths and capturing celebration enquiries while your staff stay running the floor and the door. It carries on through the night and long after close, picking up the calls that land in the small hours when groups plan the next weekend. You don't put on extra staff just to cover it. The busier the club and the louder the room, the more calls a single phone would have dropped — and the more Zavo quietly keeps for you.
Yes. If you run more than one venue, Zavo answers for each with its own table plan, guestlist, door rules, and minimum spends, while giving you a single view across them. A caller reaches a host that knows that club's booths and availability, not a generic centre that can't say which section is free. Each venue keeps its own opening hours, its own escalation contacts, and its own deposit rules. Reporting rolls up so you can compare call volumes, booths booked, and celebration groups captured venue by venue, and see where the phone is costing trade. Whether you run one room or a small group, every caller is answered consistently and their booking lands with the right team — without separate answering arrangements for each.
It works on two fronts that reinforce one another. First, the dropped calls stop: the booth enquiries, bottle-service groups, and celebration bookings that used to ring out at peak or after close now get answered and booked, so more of the crowd you already draw actually books. Second, deposits and reminders mean the prime tables you take actually arrive, so your real revenue rises even before your enquiries do. Most clubs see more booths sold and more celebration nights captured within the first few weeks, simply because nothing is being dropped. We'd rather your own takings decided: Zavo tracks every call, booking, deposit, and lead across a month of weekends, so what it adds is there beside what you pay.
No. It will only ever say what you've set it up to say. Zavo works from the table plan, door rules, and details you give it, so it won't promise entry you won't grant, get your dress code wrong, or reserve a booth you don't have. Anything outside what it knows is taken down and passed to you rather than guessed, which matters most around the door and your licence. You can listen back to any call, see exactly what was said, and refine its answers whenever your nights change — adding this weekend's lineup and the questions clubbers actually ask. The everyday enquiries get fast, accurate replies in your club's voice, and anything needing a manager's judgement still reaches a person, so your venue's reputation stays in safe hands.
Yes. The moment a booth is reserved, Zavo sends a confirmation by text so the group has the details and your plan is current. It sends a reminder on the day, which cuts the no-shows that leave a prime section empty on your busiest night. After a big night, it can follow up to thank the group and tee up their next booking, so a one-off birthday becomes regulars. If a table cancels late, it can flag it so you can re-sell the section for the weekend. All of this runs automatically, so your bookings hold firmer and your team spends the night running the room rather than ringing round to confirm tables before the doors open.
Most clubs are up and running within a few days. There's no hardware to buy and nothing to wire in. You route your existing number to Zavo, connect your table system, and brief it on your booths, your guestlist, your door rules, and your minimum spends for the big tables. From the first call it answers in your club's voice — clear and quick whatever the room is doing — and you can listen back to conversations and refine its answers as your nights and lineups change each week. Connecting it to your table system is on us. Most managers find the main ongoing task is simply keeping the door rules and table plan current, which keeps the whole front of house sharper anyway.
That's fine — plenty of clubs do. Zavo works with the main table-booking platforms out of the box, but it isn't tied to any single one. If your guestlist and table plan live in a system of your own or a board in the office, it can still take every booking and celebration enquiry, capture it as a clean, structured record, and route it to you however suits your night — linked where it can be, or sent to a shared inbox your team reviews before the doors open — so nothing is lost and you keep control. Where an older system can't support a full integration, we'll build the closest workable link while we onboard you. You're never forced to change how your club runs to stop missing the calls that matter.
