A restaurant managed by Claudia Tomina faced significant issues when Google replaced its OpenTable booking link with Google Assistant’s calling feature. This change led to customers being unable to book reservations as calls went unanswered, causing Google to believe the restaurant was fully booked. Despite attempts to revert back to the original booking system, the information displayed to customers still indicated the restaurant was not accepting reservations through Google, resulting in poor user experience and lost sales. This incident underscores ongoing concerns regarding Google’s impact on business operations.
Claudia Tomina highlights a critical issue where Google's Assistant overrides a restaurant's preferred booking system, leading to customer frustration and revenue loss.
