Does Stolio have a mobile app?
Yes. Stolio works as an installable web app (PWA) on both iPhone and Android — staff install it straight from the browser in seconds, no App Store needed. It opens full-screen like a native app, and on the Plus plan and higher it sends real-time push notifications about new reservations to the lock screen. Stolio includes the mobile app in every plan at no extra cost.
Can Stolio answer the phone when nobody can?
Yes. The Stolio AI receptionist answers incoming calls when your team is busy or the restaurant is closed. It checks real table availability in your Stolio account, creates the reservation, and the guest gets an SMS confirmation. It speaks the guest's language — Czech, German, English, Italian and more — and hands the call to a person as soon as a request gets complicated. It also calls your guests the day before a booking to confirm they are coming, which turns silent no-shows into cancellations you can still resell. The AI receptionist is an optional add-on to any Stolio plan; contact us to set it up for your restaurant.
