Questions & answers

Frequently asked

What does it cost?

It depends on your venue. We quote after a demo, and there's no commission on your orders.

Do I need to replace my phone number?

No. You keep your number and set up call forwarding.

Who pays the call costs?

This is agreed up front and written into your quote, so there are no surprises.

Can I export my data?

Yes. Your customer and order data is yours, and we'll export it on request.

What happens if I leave?

Call forwarding is switched off, your calls go back to normal, and we export your data to you. Terms are set out in your quote.

Does it understand accents?

It handles a wide range of UK accents. If it isn't sure, or the caller presses 0, the call goes to your team.

Are callers told it's an AI?

Yes. The greeting says it's an automated line, and callers can press 0 for a person at any time.

What about allergies?

Allergy and special requests are written on the ticket exactly as said. Anything unclear goes to your team to confirm, and staff should always double-check allergy orders.

What if a customer has a complex order?

If an order gets complicated, or the caller presses 0, the call transfers straight to your shop.

What if the line is down?

Calls go straight to your phone.
