Use Cases
How do New York fine dining restaurants handle peak-hour call volume?
VoiceFleet takes reservation requests during your busiest service times. The AI confirms guest name, party size, preferred time, and any dietary restrictions—then automatically holds the reservation in OpenTable or your system. Your host station stays focused on seating, not phones. High-end restaurants report guests appreciating the instant confirmation and natural conversation flow.
How do quick-service and delivery restaurants take orders via phone?
VoiceFleet prompts callers for their order, confirms details, captures addresses, and integrates with Square, Toast, or your POS. For popular items, customers can say 'the usual' and the AI recognizes repeat customers. Orders sync instantly to your kitchen without manual entry, cutting preparation time and errors.
How do restaurants qualify and route delivery driver inquiries?
VoiceFleet asks if a caller is a customer, driver, vendor, or supplier—then routes to the correct department or person. For drivers checking on orders, the AI pulls real-time status from your system. This eliminates misdirected calls and speeds up driver coordination, especially critical during high-volume periods.

How natural does the VoiceFleet AI voice sound?
Our AI uses advanced voice synthesis that sounds like a real person on the phone. The voice has natural pauses, handles accents and speech variations, and responds conversationally—not robotically.

What happens when the AI can't handle a call or a customer asks to speak to someone?
VoiceFleet seamlessly transfers to your staff in real-time. Complex requests, complaints, or customer preference for live service triggers an instant transfer to available staff. You see a dashboard showing who called, what they wanted, and how the AI handled it—giving context to your team.
How long does it take to set up VoiceFleet for my restaurant?
Most restaurants go live within 15-30 minutes. You provide your phone number, connect your reservation or POS system, and upload your menu/FAQs (or we pull them from your website). The AI begins answering calls immediately while you can refine it from your dashboard in real-time.
