Meet Mara.
The AI receptionist with a face.
She greets walk-ins at your front door, answers your phone, checks visitors in, books appointments, and lets your team know. 24/7, for one flat monthly price.
What Mara does
-
Greets & checks in.
A friendly face on a countertop kiosk welcomes every visitor and gets them where they're going.
-
Books appointments.
Straight into your calendar, with confirmations.
-
Pings your team.
A text or Teams/Slack message the moment someone's waiting.
-
Answers the phone.
Nights, weekends, lunch rush. Every call picked up, in your business's voice.
Why a face
Phone-only AI answering services are everywhere. None of them can greet the person standing in your lobby. Mara can. A real presence at the door, not a phone tree. Customers see someone, get help, and your crew stays on the job.
Built for businesses where the owner is never at the desk
If your front desk is empty half the day, Mara is for you.
Where Mara works
- Contractors & trades
- Salons, spas & med-spas
- Dental & chiropractic
- Law, accounting & real estate
Honest by design
- Mara says only what you've approved. Your hours, your services, your rules.
- She tells people she's an AI. Always.
- When she's out of her depth, she gets a human. She never guesses.
- If the kiosk is ever down, a QR fallback and call-forwarding kick in automatically.
Installed and supported locally
Mara is built and installed by Mars Network Services, a Florida IT company that already wires the buildings she works in. You get a person to call, not a ticket queue. Hardware, setup, and support included.
Mara
At the desk, every hour you're open.

"I run IT for a private school by day and build Mara the rest of the time. If she's in your lobby, my number is on the base."
One flat monthly price. No per-minute meter.
Every plan comes with setup, updates, and a local person to call. Phone minutes are a fair-use pool, not a meter. Run over your minutes? We call you first.

Questions
Does she replace my receptionist?
She covers the desk when nobody's there and takes the routine load off when someone is. Most owners use her for after-hours, overflow, and the front door.
What does she sound like?
A real voice you choose. You'll hear it in the demo.
What hardware is it?
A countertop kiosk with a 24" touchscreen; we bring it, mount it, and set it up.
What if the internet drops?
Fallback QR check-in and call forwarding, automatically.
Is my customers' data safe?
Visitor names and appointments are stored securely and belong to you. Privacy policy.
Do I need the kiosk?
No. Phone-only Mara answers your line from $199 a month with nothing to install, month to month. Add the kiosk later and your setup fee carries over.
Is there a contract?
Lobby plans run 24 months because the kiosk is included. Phone-only plans are month to month.
Where do you install?
Tampa Bay and the Palm Coast / St. Augustine / Daytona corridor today.
