For restaurants

Your phone rings during the rush. Nobody can get to it. That order just went somewhere else.

Cilicia answers every call on the second ring and takes the whole order — sizes, toppings, half-and-half, pickup or delivery — off your own menu at your own prices. Then it texts the customer a payment link and puts the ticket on your screen.

A pizza kitchen during service

A live line you can ring right now

Order a large pepperoni, half mushroom, with wings. Hang up. That is the whole product.

Do this on your own numbers

Count the calls you miss on a Friday. Multiply by your average ticket.

20 calls

missed between six and nine, because everyone is on the line or on the floor

$32

the average ticket, so that is $640 that walked out on one night

$2,560

over four Fridays. Before you count Saturday, or lunch, or the week

Those are example numbers. Put your own in. Almost every shop that does it finds the missed calls cost several times what answering them would.

What it sounds like

Not a robot reading a menu.

A real call off the demo line, word for word. Notice the customer changes his mind halfway through and it just handles it, the way the person on your counter would.

  1. CallerYeah hi, can I get a large pepperoni and an order of wings?
  2. CiliciaOf course. Large pepperoni, sixteen ninety-nine. For the wings, would you like ten or twenty?
  3. CallerTen. Hot sauce.
  4. CiliciaTen buffalo wings with hot sauce. Anything to drink?
  5. CallerNo, that’s it. Oh wait, can you do half mushroom on the pizza?
  6. CiliciaHalf pepperoni, half mushroom on the large. That brings it to thirty-one forty with tax. Pickup or delivery?
  7. CallerPickup.
  8. CiliciaPerfect. Can I get a name? … Thanks Mike. It’ll be ready in about twenty minutes, and I’ve texted you the ticket.

Friday, 7:10pm

Four people call at once. All four get answered.

There is no hold music and there is no queue, because there is no line to wait in. Ten people calling at the same time is ten separate conversations. Nobody hears a busy signal, and nobody hangs up and calls the place down the road.

  • Picks up on the second ring, however many are calling
  • Never busy, never on hold, never goes to voicemail
  • Works at 11am on a Tuesday and at 9pm on a Saturday the same way

The order

It takes the whole order, not a message.

Sizes, toppings, half-and-half, extra cheese, no onions, pickup or delivery. It reads the order back before it confirms, and the total comes off your own price list, so it can never quote a number you did not set.

  • Your menu, your prices, your options, exactly as you gave them
  • Reads the order back and waits for a yes before it books anything
  • Sends a payment link by text, or takes it as cash at the door

Your customers

It speaks their language, and remembers them.

The customer who switches to Spanish halfway through does not have to switch back. And the regular who orders the same thing every Thursday gets asked if he wants the usual, to the same address.

  • Eight languages, changed mid-sentence if the caller changes
  • Remembers past orders and addresses, built from the calls themselves
  • “Press 2” reaches your counter at any moment, from the first ring

The morning after

Every call is written down.

Who called, what they ordered, what they paid, what they asked that nobody had told it yet. You read it with your coffee instead of guessing what happened last night.

  • Every order and every call, with the recording and the transcript
  • A question it could not answer comes to you as one tap: teach it once
  • What the phone brought in this week, in dollars

    We give you a test number

    Forward your phone

    One setting with your phone company, and it is answering your real line. Same afternoon.

Ring the demo line before you decide anything.

Order something complicated. Change your mind halfway. Switch to Spanish. If it does not hold up, you have lost four minutes.
