VoIP Features for the Food Industry
Your auto attendant is the first thing that customers are greeted with when they call into your business. Having a professional and well organized auto attendant is monumental. Especially for businesses in the food industry that take frequent orders and have a higher call volume. Auto attendants can be extremely helpful by automating things such as your hours and location, your daily specials, and your seasonal messages. You can even have callers press a specific button to get routed to a manager for compliments or complaints. This frees up your staff to take only the important calls. They’ll waste less time answering calls that could have been automated information. Check out our blog post on auto attendants for even more info!
If your restaurant has multiple locations, we can keep you connected. VoIP systems allow restaurant owners to connect to their offices and branches conveniently. You can contact employees in real-time, and send or receive important information from multiple locations efficiently. A VoIP system can provide restaurant owners the total flexibility they need to operate their business in a more fluid manner by streamlining operations and processes in multiple locations.
Additionally, a VoIP system can help easily connect the various moving parts of your restaurant chain. For instance, restaurant corporate offices that house marketing teams, managers, sales teams, etc. can communicate with on-site employees more efficiently through features such as hunt groups and find me, follow me. When your marketing manager wants to call in to the general manager who is at a different location, then can easily dial their extension from their desk or mobile phone. It’s convenient and easy to communicate from different locations.
