LinkAI: "Let me check availability... I have a table for 4 
available at 7:15pm. Would that work?"

Customer: "Perfect"
LinkAI: "Great! Reservation confirmed for 4 people at 7:15pm 
tonight under [name]. Any dietary restrictions or special 
occasions we should know about?"

Confirmation & reminders:
  • Immediate: Confirmation with reservation details
