Four ways to cover your front desk
| Option | Best for | Watch for |
|---|---|---|
| Hiring an employee | In-person service and judgment calls | Covers one shift, not all 168 hours of the week |
| Answering service | A human voice taking messages or routing urgent calls | Often per-call or per-minute billing, and usually ends in a message |
| Website chatbot | Answering common questions on your site | Often built to deflect questions, not complete sales; usually no phone |
| AI receptionist / front desk | Answering every call and chat and completing bookings and orders | Compare billing models, integrations and whether results are measured in revenue |
