Stop Sending Bay Bookings to Voicemail
It's a busy Friday night. Your staff is setting up sims, running the bar, and checking groups in — and there's a line at the counter. The phone rings — someone wants two bays and a party package for next weekend, plus a few questions about lessons. Nobody can pick up. They call the lounge across town and book there instead.
Cira is an AI receptionist for indoor golf simulators. It answers every call and text 24/7. It books bays, sets up lessons, sells party packages, handles league and membership questions, and puts every booking on your calendar — so your crew can run the floor instead of chasing the phone.

You Can't Run the Floor and Answer Every Call
When the bays are full, your pro is teaching, your bar is busy, and the counter has a line — and the phone keeps ringing.
Bookings go to whoever picks up
A group looking to book a bay for the night, a lesson, or a birthday party calls a few spots. The one that answers gets the booking.
Your staff is running bays, not the phone
Setting up sims, pouring drinks, checking groups in — picking up the phone isn't possible on a busy night. Most of those calls roll to voicemail.
Someone just to answer calls costs $30,000+ a year
Most lounges can't add a person for the phone. So booking calls go unanswered — and voicemail doesn't fill bay time.
Every call is a bay, a lesson, or a league
These aren't junk calls. Each one could be bays filled, a lesson booked, or a player who just wanted to know how the league works.
The lounge that answers first books the group — every time.
The Math
One Missed Call = A Group Booked Down the Road
An indoor golf booking isn't just one hour in a bay. A group that has a great night comes back, books their company outing here, signs up for a league, and tells their friends. One booking is worth $200-500, and players who feel welcome turn into members.
Miss just 5 booking calls a week and you could be losing $31,000+ a year — bays, lessons, parties, and league players that went to the lounge that picked up.
Cira costs less than one booked party. One group a month covers it.

How It Works
Answer, Book, Confirm — All on Its Own
Cira picks up in 2-3 rings. It sounds like a friendly person at your front counter.
Answers Every Call
Day or night, even when your bays are full and your bar is slammed. Cira greets callers with your lounge's name and asks what they need — a bay for tonight, a lesson with a pro, a party for a group, or info about leagues and memberships.
Books the Right Thing
Cira knows your bay schedule, your lesson times, your party packages, your league nights, your prices, and your memberships. It checks what's open, answers questions, and books the right bay, lesson, or package for the caller.
Confirms and Reminds
Cira books it on your calendar, can take a deposit or membership payment, and texts a confirmation with the details — bay, date, time, group size, and what's included. Then it reminds them before they come in, so fewer no-shows.
Every Call Captures
What This Means for Your Indoor Golf Lounge
Book Bays Before Players Call Another Lounge
A group calls to grab bays for the weekend while your staff is setting up a sim. Cira answers right away, checks your schedule, books the bays, and takes the deposit — instead of losing them to voicemail.
Take Bay Bookings Around the Clock
Someone wants a bay for tonight or a party three weeks out. Cira checks what's open and books it — at 11pm, on a Sunday, whenever the call comes in.
Sign Players Up for Lessons and Clinics
A new golfer wants a lesson with your pro. A parent asks about junior clinics. Cira knows your lesson times and what each one covers, books the session, and puts it on your pro's calendar.
Sell Party Packages, Leagues, and Memberships
Birthdays, corporate outings, bachelor parties, simulator leagues, monthly memberships — Cira knows what each one includes and roughly what it costs. It books the group, signs up the member, and texts the details to the caller.
Answer the Common Questions
"Do you have left-handed setups?" "How many people fit in a bay?" "Can we bring our own food?" "Do you serve drinks?" Cira answers from your notes — so callers get a real answer, not a busy signal.
