Frequently Asked Questions — Columbia Restaurants
Do I need to change my Columbia restaurant's phone number?
No. Bite Buddy works with your existing phone number. We route calls through our AI system without any hardware changes or number transfers. Your customers keep calling the same number they always have.
How does the AI handle complex or customized orders?
Bite Buddy is trained on your specific menu, including all modifiers, substitutions, allergen flags, and special requests. It handles multi-item orders, combo customizations, and dietary requirements the same way a well-trained staff member would — and with 98%+ accuracy.
Which POS systems does Bite Buddy integrate with?
Bite Buddy integrates directly with Toast, Square, Clover, SpotOn, NCR Aloha, OpenTable, and Olo. Orders are injected directly into your POS — no manual entry required. If you use a different system, contact us and we can discuss options.
How long does setup take for a restaurant in {city}?
Most Columbia restaurants are fully live within 24 hours. You upload your menu, we configure the AI, connect it to your POS, and you start capturing every call the same day. There is no hardware to install and no IT department required.
What happens if a caller has a question the AI can't answer?
Bite Buddy is designed to handle the vast majority of calls — orders, reservations, menu questions, hours, directions. For unusual requests or escalations, the AI can transfer the call to a staff member or take a message. You control the fallback behavior.
