Restaurant Phone Answering Service: Why Every Call Matters

The Value of a Single Call

One phone call can become a takeout order, a catering inquiry, or a new regular guest. If your average order is forty dollars and you miss one call each day, that adds up to twelve hundred dollars in a single month and more than fourteen thousand dollars in a year. Many restaurants miss more than one call a day during busy periods.

What a Restaurant Phone Answering Service Does

A professional service is more than a pick up. Customers get a consistent and helpful experience every time they call.

Why AI Outperforms Voicemail

Most hungry customers will not leave a message. They will call the next restaurant. Real-time responses from AI keep the conversation going and convert more calls into orders. Customers feel heard and helped, which builds trust and repeat business.

The CallTender Difference

CallTender was created for restaurants. The service answers every call in less than one ring, captures takeout and delivery orders, and provides clear reporting so you can see the orders and opportunities that would have been missed. Setup is quick and can be live within twenty-four hours. Support is available to customize greetings and call flows that match your brand voice.
