Common questions
Can it take a reservation directly?
Yes, if you want it to. Turn on scheduling and connect your Google Calendar and it books the table right into your calendar, then texts the guest a confirmation. Or keep booking off and it takes a message with the party details so you can call back and set the table yourself.
Will it take a food order?
It captures order and callback details for you to confirm; it does not charge cards or commit to a kitchen time.
Does it answer menu questions?
Yes, from the menu basics you set up. For specifics it offers to take a message for the manager.
Do I keep my current number?
Yes. Forward your line to your AnswerCove number and nothing else changes.
