AI Phone for Restaurants

Call +1 (207) 600-4925 for a live demo

A phone line that greets customers, reads your menu, takes orders, and pushes them into a simple dashboard or your existing flow.

  • Answers calls with your restaurant name and hours.
  • Walks the caller through name, pickup vs delivery, and address.
  • Reads menu items and prices, supports simple “I’ll take two burgers and fries.”
  • Saves each order so it can be seen and typed into your POS or kitchen workflow.

Built around real menus, with a live orders page that your staff can use during rush.

Product · Receptionist

AI Receptionist & Calendar Assistant

A virtual receptionist that answers the phone, gathers details, and books or updates appointments on your calendar.

  • Greets callers with your business name and simple, clear prompts.
  • Checks availability and suggests times based on your calendar.
  • Books new appointments and can reschedule or cancel existing ones.
  • Handles “edge cases” by gently guiding callers back to valid options.

Designed for solo professionals and small teams that can’t always pick up the phone, but also can’t afford to miss leads.

Calendar-aware

Built to plug into a shared or private calendar so booked times match your real availability.

No drama, just calls

The focus is simple: answer, understand, book, confirm. No complicated portal required for callers.
