The phone rings. TableTalk picks up.

Two recorded test calls to Sabatino’s. Watch the ticket fill in as the caller talks. In Mike’s call, twelve items were read back and a wait quoted in 82 seconds, and nobody in the shop touched the phone.

    Hear it take an order

    Hit play on either one and the ticket fills in as the caller speaks. We recorded both during testing, which is why you can hear the kitchen behind the voice.

    What happens on a call

    1. Floury hands rolling pizza dough on a bench

      Picks up on the first ring

      Even at 7:30 on a Friday with your hands in the dough. The caller doesn’t get voicemail and doesn’t give up and ring the place down the road.

    2. Order dockets hanging from a ticket rail in a kitchen

      Takes the order off your menu

      It works off your menu, so it knows a small Hawaiian from a large one. Mike wanted extra cheese on two and no pineapple on four. It got all of it and read it back.

    3. A cook plating at the pass during service

      The ticket is on the tablet before the caller hangs up

      The caller’s name and number, what they ordered and when it’s due. Tap Ready when it’s boxed, Collected when they’ve got it.

    The kitchen tablet

    One tablet by the pass

    Every phone order on it, in the order they’re due. If something looks off, the caller’s number is right there on the ticket.

    Demo, not live
    35 min wait

    Tap a ticket to mark it done.

    • You set the wait

      Type 20 minutes on a quiet Wednesday, 45 on a Friday. Big orders get extra time on their own, which is why Mike got 65 and Jared got 35.

    • The hard calls come to you

      Twenty-four pizzas for the footy club, or a complaint about last night. It takes a name and number and leaves you a call-back card. It can’t give refunds. A change to an order already on the pass gets flagged on that ticket.

    • Getting set up

      Send us your menu and your house rules. We set up the kitchen screen on a tablet you already have, or on one of ours. Forward your number and the next call goes to TableTalk.

    What owners ask first

    Will my customers know it’s not a person?

    It’s an AI voice. It doesn’t say so up front, but if anyone asks, it says it’s the automated phone assistant for your shop. It never claims to be a person.

    What if it gets an order wrong?

    It reads the whole order back before it takes a name, so the caller can fix it on the spot. If someone rings later about a mistake, you get a call-back card. It doesn’t offer refunds or discounts.

    Can a caller get a real person?

    It can’t transfer the call. It takes a name and a message and puts a call-back request on your dashboard.

    Do I keep my phone number?

    Yes. You forward your existing number to TableTalk, so your customers dial the same number they always have.

    Half-and-half, gluten-free, no pineapple?

    It answers from your menu and house rules. At Sabatino’s that covers half-and-half, extra toppings and taking things off. For gluten-free it tells the caller it can’t guarantee anything and passes the request to the kitchen.

    Delivery? Payments? My POS?

    Pickup only, for now. Customers pay at the counter like they do today. TableTalk takes no payments and doesn’t plug into your POS. Orders appear on the TableTalk screen in your kitchen.

    Pricing

    One monthly fee, no lock-in.

    Nothing to buy up front, and you can stop any month. What it costs depends on how busy your phone is, so we quote it once you’ve told us about the shop. The booking form only books the call. It doesn’t ask for a card or commit you to anything.

    Ask for a quote

    What could a missed call cost you?

    Put in your own numbers. Nothing is sent or saved.

    Ring it yourself
    before you decide.

    Fifteen minutes. We show you the dashboard, then put your menu on a test number so you can ring it from your own shop and hear what your customers would hear.
