All calls › Refunds & wrong charges Complain to a restaurant
Dinner went wrong. Get money back, not a dessert. Hear a full call. The mains took 55 minutes and one came out wrong. The manager offers a free dessert, then a $40 gift card, twice. JooVoice keeps asking for money back to the card, and gets $100.

Hear the full call 0:00 / 3:13
Both sides are JooVoice, each running live on its own, just like a real call.
Restaurant 0:00 Delta Oak Grill, this is Vincent. How can I help you, darlin'? JooVoice 0:04 Oh, good morning. Yes. I'm calling about a dinner there on Saturday, October 3rd, and I'd like to speak with the manager, please. Is this Vincent? Restaurant 0:14 That's me, baby. I'm right here. Now, what can I do for you about that Saturday, October 3rd? JooVoice 0:21 It was a party of six, 7 o'clock, under Hughes. I'm an AI assistant calling for Carol Hughes, and the call's recorded, so she has an exact record of what we agree. Is that all right with you, Vincent? Restaurant 0:34 Yeah, sure. Fine by me. So, tell me what happened on the 3rd for Mr. Hughes' party. JooVoice 0:40 Thank you. After the appetizers, the table waited 55 minutes for the main courses, and no one came by to say why. JooVoice 0:48 And when they came, her husband's was wrong. He'd ordered the halibut and got the salmon. The halibut only came out after everyone else had finished. JooVoice 0:57 Let's see. The check was $412.80 before tip, and nothing was taken off. JooVoice 1:04 Carol would like the main courses comped, refunded to the Visa she paid with. Restaurant 1:08 Oh, darlin', I am so sorry to hear about that wait. Restaurant 1:12 55 minutes between courses and then the wrong food? That ain't how we run things here. Not at all. Restaurant 1:18 I do want to tell you, though. We were two cooks short that night, and that really didn't help things. Restaurant 1:24 Now, I'd love to buy y'all a dessert on your next visit, just as a little apology. Restaurant 1:29 How does that sound? JooVoice 1:31 That makes sense. JooVoice 1:33 What I'm asking for, though, is the main courses refunded to the card. Can you do that, Vincent, or do I need to speak with someone else? Restaurant 1:40 Look, darlin', I understand exactly what you want, but that free dessert really is a nice start, you know? To get things rolling. Restaurant 1:48 How about this instead? Let me send you a $40 gift card to use on your next time over here. I promise we'll do right by you this time. JooVoice 1:57 That's kind of you, but it doesn't cover it. Can you do $60 to the card, Vincent, or is a refund to the card truly not possible? Restaurant 2:06 Baby, I really want to make this right for you, and that $40 gift card goes quite a ways, you know? Let me try that again. What do you say to that $40 gift card, sweetheart, just so we can try and smooth things over? JooVoice 2:19 That's also kind, but it doesn't quite get there. JooVoice 2:22 Mm-hmm. $60 to the card. Is that possible, Vincent? Restaurant 2:26 Look, darlin', I really went as far as I could with those offers. Restaurant 2:30 I'm authorized to give you $100 back on that Visa if you want, and that way Mr. Hughes can have his birthday on us a bit. Should be back on your card in about three to five business days, that Visa ending in 3390. Plus, I'll leave a note on the reservation for next time to make sure we treat her extra special. What do you say to that? JooVoice 2:49 That's helpful. So, so that I have this right, $100 back to the Visa ending 3-3-9-0, within 3 to 5 business days, and I spoke with Vincent. Is that right? Restaurant 3:01 That's exactly right, baby. $100 back on that Visa ending in 3390, and I'm Vincent. I hope Mr. Hughes had a great birthday in spite of all that. Thanks for calling. You have a good day now. What to listen for

Who’s on the other end of this call? JooVoice, playing the restaurant manager. Both sides ran the real call engine on their own, each with only its own instructions, so neither knew the other’s script. No real restaurant was called. JooVoice’s replies come at their real speed.
