Take phone orders during the dinner rush without stopping.

What it handles for your restaurant

Takes pickup and delivery orders

Item by item from your real menu, read back with the total and a pickup time.

Prints the ticket in your kitchen

On your Star or Epson receipt printer, or on a tablet screen.

Books tables

Only when you have room. Offers the closest open time when you're full.

Catches catering and party orders

Takes the details and sends them to you to confirm.

What gets missed now

  • Phone rings during the rush
  • Takeout orders get missed or written down wrong
  • Catering leads slip through

What callers ask

  • “Can I order two large pies for pickup?”
  • “Are you open right now?”
  • “Do you have vegetarian options?”
  • “Do you do catering for 40?”

It answers from what you've told it. Anything else becomes a message sent straight to you.
