# The AI receptionist for furniture stores that answers while you sell

An AI receptionist for furniture stores answers your showroom phone 24/7. It answers hours, delivery area, financing and special order lead-time questions from your notes, and books design appointments. When a customer calls about their order or delivery window, or asks whether a sofa is on the floor, it takes the details and texts your team to follow up.

## Why furniture stores miss calls

- **Delivery calls flood the showroom:** Customers waiting on a sectional call to ask when it ships, when the truck is coming and why the window changed. Your salespeople end up playing dispatcher instead of helping the couple measuring a dining table.
- **Big-ticket shoppers want answers first:** Before driving over, people call to ask about financing, delivery fees and whether you haul away the old couch. If nobody picks up, they spend their Saturday at the store that did.
- **Your showroom is big and the phone is far:** A salesperson on the far side of the floor can’t reach the phone in time. Calls roll to voicemail during your busiest weekend hours, when most buying decisions get made.

## How does an AI receptionist help furniture stores handle delivery calls?

Delivery questions are the most common call a furniture store gets after a sale. The AI receptionist can’t see your order system, so it collects what your coordinator needs: the customer’s name, order number, item and scheduling limits. It sends that as a text or email summary the moment the call ends. Your coordinator calls back with the real window, and your salespeople stay on the floor with shoppers instead of digging through delivery sheets.

## Can it answer financing and delivery fee questions?

Yes, from your own notes. Tell it your financing partners, how long promotions run, your delivery zones and fees, and whether you haul away old furniture. It answers the same way every time, which keeps your staff from giving slightly different answers. Anything it doesn’t know, it takes as a message for a salesperson rather than guessing.

## Can the AI tell a caller whether a piece is in stock?

No. It doesn’t see your inventory or warehouse. When someone asks whether a recliner is on the floor or a fabric is available, it takes their name, number and the item, then texts your team to check. It can share general special-order lead times from your notes so the caller knows what to expect.

## Does after-hours answering matter for a furniture store?

People measure their living room at night and call with questions before they forget. After-hours answering captures those calls, books design appointments for the weekend and takes delivery questions for your coordinator’s morning list. You wake up to summaries instead of a voicemail box full of half-finished messages.

## Frequently asked questions

### Can the AI give customers their delivery date?

No. It can’t see your delivery schedule. It takes the order number, the customer’s name and number and any days that don’t work, then sends that to your coordinator right away so they can call back with the actual window.

### Can it book design consultations?

Yes. On Growth and up, it books appointments into Google Calendar or Microsoft 365 using the slots you choose. It can ask about the room, style and timeline and add that to the booking.

### What happens with a damaged furniture complaint?

It takes the customer’s name, order, what was damaged and when it arrived, and marks it urgent in your summary. You can also have it warm transfer those calls to a manager, or to a GH Live agent from $3.50 per call.

### Can it handle multiple showroom locations?

Yes. The Pro plan supports multiple numbers and locations, so each showroom can have its own hours and answers while summaries go to the right manager.

### Does it speak Spanish or Russian?

Yes. It speaks English, Spanish, Russian and Ukrainian today, which helps stores that serve customers in those languages across New Jersey and the boroughs.
