Does it work with my reservation system?
It connects with the most common reservation and table tools. We confirm yours on the setup call. [VERIFY integration list]
Can it take takeout orders?
It answers menu questions and texts your online ordering link. Phone order-taking is available on request.
What about allergy questions?
It notes allergies on the booking and only shares allergen info you’ve approved. Anything uncertain goes to your team.
Can it handle a noisy kitchen transfer?
Transfers go to the number you choose — host stand, manager’s cell or both — and it texts a summary first.
