Food & Hospitality
Voice order taking, reservations, reminders and guided upsell without aggregator fees.
Where the opportunity is
Hospitality operators lose orders and covers to the unanswered phone, and margin to aggregator commission. Taking orders and reservations directly, including at peak and after hours, is the practical opportunity here.
What operators tell us
Sector-specific constraints, rather than a generic list of business problems.
- The phone goes unanswered during service, which is when it rings most.
- Aggregator commission erodes margin on orders that could have come direct.
- Reservations are managed in a book and double bookings happen.
- No-shows cost covers that were already committed.
- Routine questions about hours, menu and location occupy staff mid-service.
What we would actually build
Concrete workflows for this sector. Each is a bounded job with a measurable result.
Voice order taking
A phone agent takes the order, confirms items and totals back, and sends it to the kitchen system directly.
Reservation management
Checks real table availability, books, confirms and handles changes without staff involvement.
Reminder and confirmation
Automated reminders that let guests confirm or release the table in time to resell it.
Menu and information enquiries
Hours, menu, dietary and location questions answered from approved content at any hour.
Guided upsell
Relevant additions suggested within your actual menu and availability during ordering.
What changes operationally
Realistic operational changes. We measure the specific numbers for your business rather than quoting industry averages.
- Orders and reservations captured during service instead of missed
- More direct orders, reducing dependence on commission channels
- Tables released early enough to resell when guests cancel
- Floor staff interrupted less by routine phone enquiries

Food & Hospitality — FAQs
Can it take orders by phone accurately?
Items and totals are read back and confirmed before the order is committed, which is the control that matters. We test against recordings of your real calls before scoping.
Will it work with our POS or kitchen system?
Where a supported interface exists, yes. Where it does not, orders can be delivered as structured tickets instead.
What happens during a rush?
Capacity does not change with volume, which is the main benefit. Anything the agent cannot handle is transferred or taken as a structured callback.
