How Fonitix works for restaurants and cafes
Fonitix answers your restaurant phone around the clock and gives guests a menu and a kiosk that send orders straight to your kitchen.
What the agent does
- Takes orders and pickup requests and puts them on a live board.
- Books guests into free times in your calendar.
- Answers questions about your menu, prices and hours using your own answers.
- Speaks as your host, in the words of your business.
What you tell Fonitix
A few questions when you set up, so the agent knows your business:
- What do you serve?
- Do you offer delivery?
An example call
An example of the kind of call it handles. Your agent uses your own services, prices and hours.
What you get in your dashboard
- A live order board
- An online booking page
- A card for every customer, with their calls and visits
- Reminders by text or email
- A walk-in line
- Your own answers, which the agent uses on calls
- A log of calls with summaries
What the agent will not do
- Take a card number over the phone: it sends a secure payment link instead.
- Make up prices, times or promises: it uses only what you have given it, and takes a message when it does not know.
Set up in four steps
- Choose restaurants and cafes when you sign up, so Fonitix uses the right words for your restaurant.
- Check the example menu and answer a few questions about your business.
- Get your own phone number for the agent and make a test call.
- Share the number. Calls turn into orders in your dashboard.
