Sitting proudly on one of the suburb\u2019s most iconic corners, the venue has built a reputation as a true neighbourhood local, a place where friends gather for casual drinks, long lunches and big sporting moments. Known as a \u201ccountry pub in the city,\u201d the London Tavern blends traditional pub charm with a vibrant social atmosphere that keeps locals coming back.  <\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{\"134233117\":true,\"134233118\":true}\"> <\/span><\/p><p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">The venue features multiple dining spaces and a large courtyard equipped with a giant big screen and several televisions, making it one of Richmond\u2019s go-to spots for live sport. From casual midweek dinners to packed AFL game days, the London Tavern is rarely quiet. The pub is proudly privately owned by award-winning publican Bill Perry, who has long been recognised for his commitment to the Australian hospitality industry.  <\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{\"134233117\":true,\"134233118\":true}\"> <\/span><\/p><p><span data-contrast=\"auto\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nowbookit.com\/en-us\/\">Now Book It<\/a> caught up with General Manager Gina Cimarosti, who leads the team in delivering the relaxed yet high-quality service the venue is known for. With such a diverse mix of guests, from locals dropping in for a quick drink to groups booking tables for major sporting events, managing reservations and guest enquiries requires systems that support both flexibility and efficiency. <\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{\"134233117\":true,\"134233118\":true}\"> <\/span><\/p><p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">As the venue continued to grow in popularity, one operational challenge became increasingly clear &#8211; the volume of incoming phone calls. <\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{\"134233117\":true,\"134233118\":true}\"> <\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-a98687d elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"a98687d\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"666\" src=\"https:\/\/www.nowbookit.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/screenshot-2026-05-06-at-2-33-44-pm-1024x666.png\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-32371\" alt=\"Screenshot 2026-05-06 at 2.33.44\u202fpm\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.nowbookit.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/screenshot-2026-05-06-at-2-33-44-pm-1024x666.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.nowbookit.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/screenshot-2026-05-06-at-2-33-44-pm-300x195.png 300w, https:\/\/www.nowbookit.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/screenshot-2026-05-06-at-2-33-44-pm-768x499.png 768w, https:\/\/www.nowbookit.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/screenshot-2026-05-06-at-2-33-44-pm.png 1452w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1d2423e elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"1d2423e\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Constant phone calls during peak service<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-865339a elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"865339a\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">For a busy pub like the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/londontavernhotel\/\">London Tavern<\/a>, phone enquiries are a daily reality. Guests call to book tables, check availability, organise group gatherings or simply confirm details before heading in. While every call represents a potential booking, answering them all during peak service can quickly become difficult.  <\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{\"134233117\":true,\"134233118\":true}\"> <\/span><\/p><p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">\u201cIn hospitality the phone never really stops ringing. During busy periods our team would be serving guests, running food, managing the floor and at the same time trying to keep up with incoming calls,&#8221; said Gina.  <\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{\"134233117\":true,\"134233118\":true}\"> <\/span><\/p><p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">The pressure is particularly noticeable during peak dining hours or major sporting events. When the venue is full and service is moving quickly, stepping away to answer the phone can interrupt the flow of operations. <\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{\"134233117\":true,\"134233118\":true}\"> <\/span><\/p><p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">\u201cAt those busy times our priority has to be the guests who are already in the venue, but at the same time, every phone enquiry is important because it could be someone trying to make a booking.\u201d<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{\"134233117\":true,\"134233118\":true}\"> <\/span><\/p><p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">If a call goes unanswered, there\u2019s always the risk that potential guests will simply try somewhere else or forget to follow up later. <\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">In hospitality, timing matters, and if the booking process isn\u2019t easy, people often move on. <\/span><\/p><p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">The London Tavern was also receiving a steady stream of enquiries outside normal operating hours, when no one was available to answer the phone. Without a system in place to capture those after-hours calls, many of those booking opportunities could slip through the cracks. <\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{\"134233117\":true,\"134233118\":true}\"> <\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-e35066e elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"e35066e\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"629\" src=\"https:\/\/www.nowbookit.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/screenshot-2026-05-06-at-2-41-20-pm-1024x629.png\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-32373\" alt=\"Screenshot 2026-05-06 at 2.41.20\u202fpm\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.nowbookit.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/screenshot-2026-05-06-at-2-41-20-pm-1024x629.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.nowbookit.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/screenshot-2026-05-06-at-2-41-20-pm-300x184.png 300w, https:\/\/www.nowbookit.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/screenshot-2026-05-06-at-2-41-20-pm-768x472.png 768w, https:\/\/www.nowbookit.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/screenshot-2026-05-06-at-2-41-20-pm.png 1478w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-b3f113c elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"b3f113c\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">When the phone rings, Sadie answers<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-c22db5c elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"c22db5c\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">To manage the growing volume of calls without putting extra pressure on the team, the London Tavern introduced <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nowbookit.com\/en-us\/ai-reservation-system\/\">Sadie<\/a>, Now Book It\u2019s AI receptionist.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\"> <\/span><\/p><p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Sadie answers incoming phone calls automatically, speaking with guests and helping them make reservations directly through the Now Book It system.

When game days roll around, the venue fills quickly with fans looking for a place to watch the action. During major matches, finals series and big sporting events, the pub experiences some of its busiest trading periods.  <\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{\"134233117\":true,\"134233118\":true}\"> <\/span><\/p><p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">\u201cWith the big screen and multiple TVs, we\u2019re a popular spot for live sport, on big footy days the venue gets extremely busy.\u201d<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{\"134233117\":true,\"134233118\":true}\"> <\/span><\/p><p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Those events also bring a surge in phone enquiries, as guests call to check availability or secure a spot before the crowds arrive. Handling that spike in calls while simultaneously managing a packed venue can be challenging. <\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{\"134233117\":true,\"134233118\":true}\"> <\/span><\/p><p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">\u201cGame days are already high energy and fast paced, adding a constant stream of phone calls into the mix can make things even more hectic for the team,\u2019 explained Gina. <\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{\"134233117\":true,\"134233118\":true}\"> <\/span><\/p><p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">This is where Sadie AI has become particularly valuable for the London Tavern. Instead of staff juggling both service and phone enquiries during busy events, Sadie answers calls instantly and assists guests with their booking requests. <\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{\"134233117\":true,\"134233118\":true}\"> <\/span><\/p><p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">\u201cKnowing Sadie is there to answer those calls takes a lot of pressure off the team, it means we don\u2019t have to worry about missing enquiries when the venue is packed.\u201d<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{\"134233117\":true,\"134233118\":true}\"> <\/span><\/p><p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Because Sadie integrates directly with the Now Book It reservation system, confirmed bookings are recorded automatically and appear in the venue\u2019s booking dashboard in real time. That means the team maintains full visibility over reservations without needing to manually manage each phone call. <\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{\"134233117\":true,\"134233118\":true}\"> <\/span><\/p><p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">\u201cIt all flows straight into the system, which makes it really easy for us to stay organised.

Unlike traditional restaurants, pubs thrive on spontaneity. Guests often drop in for a drink without planning ahead, and many of the venue\u2019s most memorable moments come from those unplanned visits.  <\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{\"134233117\":true,\"134233118\":true}\"> <\/span><\/p><p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">\u201cThe bar is always kept for walk-ins because we want to maintain that classic pub atmosphere.

The system allows the team to control which areas accept reservations and when bookings are available. For major event days like the AFL Grand Final, the venue can easily create a clos block out on Now Book It with a clear message to let customers know they have switched to walk-ins only for that time.   <\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{\"134233117\":true,\"134233118\":true}\"> <\/span><\/p><p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">\u201cThe platform gives us the flexibility we need to manage the way we trade,
