AI receptionist for your community centre & sports club
Callers to a community centre & sports club ring about room and hall hire, pitch and court hire and classes and activities. LineHQ's AI receptionist answers in your name within a couple of seconds, asks the questions you would ask, takes the name and number, and passes on a message a person can act on. It never quotes a price you have not given it, and a real emergency gets the right advice, not a sales pitch.

The AI receptionist is included on the Reception plan: 60 minutes included, about 30 answered calls, then prepaid minute bundles or 15p a minute. Pick the Community centre & sports club starter pack on the Knowledge page and it knows your trade's questions before you have typed a word.

// what it asks
The questions a community centre & sports club would ask, asked for you
The starter pack gives the receptionist your trade's triage questions and the signs that a call is urgent. An urgent call gets the caller's name and number first and a promise that a person will ring back straight away.
They want to hire a room or the hall
It asks, one at a time: "What is the event, and roughly how many people will come?" "Which date and times do you need, and is it a one-off or a regular booking?" "Will you need the kitchen, tables and chairs or anything else?"
They want to book a pitch, court or sports hall
It asks, one at a time: "Which sport is it, and is it a match, training or a casual game?" "Which day and time do you need, and how often?"
They want to join a class, team or the club
It asks, one at a time: "Which class, team or sport are you interested in?" "Is it for you or for a child, and if so how old are they?" "What is the best number to ring you back on?"
They are asking what is on or about an event
It asks, one at a time: "Is there a particular activity or date you are asking about?" "Is it for adults, children or a family?"
Frequently asked questions
A caller asks: "Can I hire the hall for a party?"
The receptionist says: "Yes. Tell me the date, the time and how many people, and the office will ring you back about availability and the cost."
A caller asks: "How much is it to hire a room or a pitch?"
The receptionist says: "It depends on the space, the day and how long you need it. Tell me what you have in mind and a person will come back to you with the price."
A caller asks: "Is the hall free on a particular date?"
The receptionist says: "I cannot see the diary, but tell me the date and times and the office will check and ring you back."
A caller asks: "What classes or activities do you run?"
The receptionist says: "There is a weekly timetable on our website and noticeboard. Tell me what you are interested in and the office can tell you what is on and how to join."
A caller asks: "How do I join the club?"
The receptionist says: "Tell me your name, your age if you are joining as a junior and which sport or section, and the membership secretary will ring you back."
A caller asks: "Can my child come to a trial or training session?"
The receptionist says: "Usually yes. Tell me your child's age and the sport, and the coach for that age group will ring you back with the details."
A caller asks: "Do you have a bar or kitchen we can use?"
The receptionist says: "Tell me what you are planning and the office will explain what is available with your booking."
A caller asks: "Is there parking and disabled access?"
The receptionist says: "The office will confirm the parking and access arrangements when they ring back."
What will it never do for a community centre & sports club?
It never handles confirming a booking or a date over the phone, taking a payment over the phone, giving out members' contact details and hiring out the building for overnight stays. Anything it cannot answer becomes a message with the caller's name and number.

It is included on the Reception plan: 60 minutes included, about 30 answered calls. After that you can buy a prepaid bundle of minutes or pay 15p a minute from calling credit. Scale includes 200 minutes, about 100 answered calls.
