I have to be honest, I do not like the AI videos for representing the scenarios. When the hosts asks "May I have the name for the reservation?" And the customer says "It’s under Martínez", to me that sounds like she is asking about a reservation that has already been made (like asking for confirmation) and not that she is making a reservation, it sounds unnatural. The way I think it should be is "Make the reservation under Martínez," or "It will be under Martínez".
The important thing is to make sure you ask everything necessary for the reservation. Name, date, time, party size and additional details
