Cape Town's season is short and its customers are impatient. Between the CBD, the southern suburbs, the northern suburbs and the Helderberg, a missed enquiry in December is a booking someone else takes.
R499/month · 14-day trial, no card · Rand prices exclude VAT
December and January compress a year of tourism and holiday-home work into a few weeks, and the southeaster closes outdoor jobs without warning. Visitors ask about availability at odd hours, in several languages, and they book whoever answers. The same is true for the plumber a guest calls when a geyser bursts in a rental flat.
Short-stay rentals generate plumbing, cleaning and check-in questions at any hour. The assistant can answer the standard ones and pass the rest to the right person.
One enquiry can arrive by call, WhatsApp and a website form. Without one place to catch them, the same person becomes three unfinished conversations.
Price, hours, area, availability. Answer those four clearly and the appointment is half made.
A reply in seconds reads as a well-run business. A reply tomorrow reads as a business that does not need the work.
AskZuri is used by guest houses and tourism, trades and maintenance, restaurants and cafés, salons and aesthetics, estate agencies, health practices across South Africa. The questions are different; the gap is the same.
You set your own service area, so the assistant never promises a call-out in Table View if you do not cover it.
If your customers are in or around these areas, this is built for you:
Not sure about your area? Ask in the form and we will tell you honestly whether it is a fit.
The price is the same everywhere in South Africa. No per-lead fees, no annual lock-in, no setup fee on the first two plans.
Website chat and WhatsApp answered 24/7, leads on your phone, a daily summary. The plan most small businesses start on.
Everything in Essentials plus calendar bookings, quotes, follow-ups, voice notes and a lead inbox with a pipeline.
Everything in Growth plus a real AI phone line on your own number, with a R999 once-off setup.
Rand prices exclude VAT. Every plan starts with a 14-day trial, no card. If AskZuri does not bring you work in 60 days, we keep working free until it does.
The assistant answers in the language your business facts are written in — you choose that when you set it up, and it stays consistent so nothing gets mistranslated. It understands the customer's language either way.
Yes, and that is the point. It answers every enquiry at the same speed on 27 December as on a quiet Tuesday.
The same engine does. Availability, rates, check-in times, directions and parking are all answerable, and the booking request lands in your inbox with the guest's details.
No. There is no queue and no script reader. It is software that answers with your business's own facts, then hands the lead to you. You keep the relationship.
It says so and takes a message, then alerts you. It will not guess. Every conversation is logged so you can see the gaps and fix the facts once.
Send your website and type of business. We build the receptionist from your own pages and send you the link, usually within one working day.
Or build it yourself in about 30 seconds on the instant demo. No card, no call, no obligation.
