The Hidden Costs of Traditional Phone Ordering

While phone ordering has been the standard for decades, it comes with significant hidden costs that many restaurant owners don't fully appreciate. Let's break down the real impact on your bottom line.

Order Errors

15-20% of phone orders contain errors, leading to remakes, customer dissatisfaction, and lost revenue.

Missed Calls

During peak hours, busy phone lines can cause you to miss 30-50% of potential orders.

Staff Inefficiency

Phone orders tie up staff who could be serving dine-in customers or preparing food.

Limited Order Visibility

Customers can't see the full menu or pricing clearly when ordering over the phone.
