How to get a table at a restaurant with no online booking
Many restaurants only take reservations by phone. Your AI assistant can ask for you: with No Errands connected, it requests the table, and an automated call or text asks the restaurant to confirm. It is free for you whatever the restaurant answers, and the table counts as booked only when a person there confirms it.
How to do it with No Errands
- Connect No Errands once. Add No Errands to Claude, ChatGPT or another MCP client with the address
https://api.noerrands.com/mcpand sign in with your email. The steps for each assistant are below. You do this once for every errand. - Name the restaurant and the table. Give the assistant the restaurant, the party size, the date, the time and the first name for the table.
- Approve the request. It reads all of that back and waits for your yes, because a real restaurant is about to be contacted.
- We ask the restaurant. An automated call or text asks the restaurant to confirm. A person there presses 1 or replies Y to confirm, or declines.
- Check the answer. The table is booked only when the status says confirmed. If nobody answers, the request expires, usually within two hours.
What to type
Once No Errands is connected, you can ask like this:
Ask Luigi's on Main St in Joplin MO for a table for 4 this Friday at 7pm under the name Sam.
The assistant checks first, shows you what it is about to do and the price, and waits for your yes.

Questions people ask
What does the restaurant hear?
An automated voice saying who is asking, the party size, the date and time and the first name, then a keypad menu: 1 to confirm, 2 to decline, 9 never to be contacted again.
What if nobody answers?
The request expires, usually within two hours, and becomes a no-answer. There is no second attempt. Your assistant can try another restaurant.
Which restaurants can I ask?
Any restaurant in the United States with a phone number, unless that number has asked us never to contact it.
Is my table actually booked?
Only when the status says confirmed, which means a person at the restaurant confirmed it. The assistant is not allowed to tell you it is booked before that.
How do I pay?
With prepaid credits. You can buy $2.49 for a single letter, or $10.00 for $12.50 of credit (one free letter), $25.00 for $32.50 of credit (three free letters) and $50.00 for $67.50 of credit (seven free letters); every pack credits more than it costs, and credits never expire. Your assistant gives you a checkout link and you pay in your own browser.
