Other “AI answering” tools text a link and hope. Hostvo takes the order.
Most reservation and aggregator add-ons deflect takeout and catering callers to an SMS link — then hope they finish on their phone. A big share never do. Hostvo captures the full order on the call, the way your staff would.
- “Check the link we just texted you.”
- Older and non-app callers drop off
- You never even see the lost order
- English-only — other-language callers hang up
- Takes items, modifiers, and pickup time on the call
- Answers in your caller’s language, on the first word
- Texts an optional pre-pay link after — already captured
- Every order in your dashboard, with a tap-to-confirm text
The full order, on the call — not a link they ignore.
Items, modifiers, pickup time, name and number — captured the way your counter staff would, then read back. Older and just-want-to-talk callers don’t drop off.
Answers in your caller’s language, on the first word.
Spanish, Mandarin, Hindi and more — detected and held for the whole call. The regular who couldn’t order in English doesn’t hang up and dial a competitor.
Nothing hits your kitchen until you tap OK.
Every captured order is a one-tap text your staff approve in a second — served vs. waiting on you, always your call.
Remembers your regulars and their usual.
Every caller becomes a profile — history, lifetime value, the usual order. The regulars you’d recognize anyway, written down.
Confident where it should be. Careful where it must be.
- Won’t guess on allergies
allergy, medical, or legal questions always go to a person.
- Won’t touch your kitchen
nothing is fired until your staff taps Confirm.
- Won’t record your callers
searchable transcripts only — never audio.
- Won’t share your data
your customers are yours, isolated per restaurant.
