Challenge

Riudi is not just a salon owner, he is also a salon coach who helps other salons grow their businesses. Alongside coaching, he operates two busy salon locations in Florida.

Like many growing salons, Riudi relied on multiple receptionists to manage incoming calls and appointment bookings. However, despite having front desk staff, an important challenge remained: customer calls were still being missed.

This typically happened during:

  • Peak hours, when receptionists were busy assisting in-salon customers

  • After business hours, when no one was available to answer the phone

Each missed call represented a potential lost booking and lost revenue opportunity. Riudi needed a solution that could ensure every customer call was answered without increasing staffing costs or operational complexity.

 
Riudi Salon Problem

Solution

  • Riudi first discovered BookingBee.ai after attending a live demo that showcased how an AI-powered receptionist could automate salon call management.

  • What impressed him immediately was the AI’s ability to hold natural conversations with customers and manage real salon booking requests over the phone.

  • Riudi also needed a solution that could communicate fluently in Spanish, since a large portion of his customers were Spanish-speaking.

  • After seeing the AI in action, he recognized the potential and decided to implement BookingBee.ai within two days of the demo.

  • The system was integrated with Meevo, allowing the Voice AI to manage bookings directly inside the salon software.

  • During early implementation, BookingBee’s telephony team helped resolve setup challenges, enabling the AI to smoothly manage calls across both locations.
