The Challenge

Amazing Backyard Parties provides tent, table, and chair rentals for backyard events across the greater Pittsburgh area. Their challenges included:

High Inquiry Volume

Party season brings unpredictable call spikes that overwhelm small staff.

Detailed Qualification Needed

Must collect event date, guest count, location, and specific rental items.

Missed Opportunities

Calls during setup and delivery went unanswered, losing bookings to competitors.

Inconsistent Follow-up

Different staff collected different information, making quotes difficult.

The Problem

Small event rental businesses can't afford dedicated phone staff, but missing calls means losing bookings to competitors who answer first.

The Solution

Amazing Backyard Parties implemented KaiCalls AI voice agent "Taylor" to:

Answer all inbound inquiries instantly
Collect event details (date, time, guest count)
Qualify rental needs (tents, tables, chairs, specialty items)
Gather delivery location information
Schedule follow-up for pricing quotes
