Things that you appear to be missing from your post (but probably totally already know and are just not bothering to mention):

* Most businesses already have a receptionist.

* Most receptionists do not spend measurable fractions of their day answering phonecalls asking when the business is open.

* Taking bookings is really also not the majority of their day.

* Receptionists are capable of a bunch of things that your SaaS booking program is not. Like ordering catering and picking up office supplies.

* A SaaS booking program that is looked over by a human doesn't have to have AI-systems, because they just have I-systems. A human receptionist.

* The inevitable job-post catchall "Other duties as required."

* I had a receptionist bring me a beer once while I was waiting and I'm pretty sure none of your SaaS solutions will do that.
