Use Cases
How do Chicago fine-dining restaurants use VoiceFleet?
High-end restaurants train VoiceFleet to screen calls, take detailed reservation requests, and qualify guests based on party size, preferences, and dietary restrictions. The AI asks 'Will this be a wine-pairing experience?' and 'Any special occasions?' then routes to the sommelier or host. This ensures reservations are accurate and customers feel valued from the first call.
How do quick-service and delivery restaurants use VoiceFleet?
Fast-casual and delivery-heavy restaurants use VoiceFleet to capture takeout and DoorDash inquiries instantly. The AI confirms order details, takes payment, and provides pickup times—integrating with Toast or Square POS. We've automated ordering for Chicago pizzerias, sandwich shops, and ramen bars, reducing order errors by 40%.
How do Chicago catering and event venues use VoiceFleet?
Event spaces and catering companies train VoiceFleet to collect event details, verify dates, and email contracts automatically. The AI asks about guest count, dietary needs, and preferred menus, then routes qualified leads to the catering manager. This qualification saves managers 5-10 hours per week of initial intake calls.
