Pricing questions

How much does an AI receptionist cost per month in the UK?
Stafff is £149 a month + VAT on Overflow and £299 a month + VAT on Full Service. Across the market, UK and European AI phone tools for restaurants publish prices from about £100 to €600 a month, and some charge per call or per module on top.
What's the difference between Overflow and Full Service?
Overflow answers the calls your team can't pick up during opening hours — the line is busy or rings out — with 300 minutes included. Full Service answers every call, including after you've closed, with 1,000 minutes included and WhatsApp when it launches.
What happens if I use more minutes than my plan includes?
Calls keep being answered and extra minutes are 20p each, shown in your usage page as you go. If you'd rather cap it, overage can be switched off so calls go to your voicemail once the minutes run out.
Is there a long contract?
No. Plans are monthly and you can cancel any time. The Stafff team sets up your menu, opening hours, table capacity and approved answers with you, so the assistant is ready before the first call is diverted.
Is it cheaper than a human answering service?
Usually, for a restaurant. Human answering services typically charge per call or per minute and take a message rather than booking the table. An AI receptionist books against your real capacity, but a human service can suit complex or high-touch calls better.
