What the phone looks like for a Stoke-on-Trent restaurant

Stoke-on-Trent and the wider Staffordshire has a population of around 370,000, built on ceramics, logistics and a large base of family run trades. That produces a lot of phone calls, and for a restaurant working across Hanley, Newcastle-under-Lyme and Longton most of them arrive at the exact moment nobody can pick up.

A table booked elsewhere is gone, and a party of twelve that could not get through is a whole evening's covers.

Callwise answers on your own 01782 number. Customers ring the number they already have, it is answered on the first ring by something that sounds like a person, and the job is booked into your diary before the caller has thought about trying anybody else.

Questions

Stoke-on-Trent restaurants ask us

Do we keep our 01782 number?

Yes. Your existing 01782 number stays exactly as it is and keeps ringing your phones. Calls only reach the assistant when nobody picks up, or at the hours you choose, so nothing about how Stoke-on-Trent customers reach you changes.

Do you work with restaurants outside Stoke-on-Trent?

Yes. There is nothing local about how it works, so Stoke-on-Trent and everywhere across Staffordshire is covered the same way, along with the rest of the UK. The local part is your number and your customers, and both stay yours.

Can it take a booking during service?

That is when most booking calls come and when nobody can pick up. It takes them all, at once, without anyone leaving the pass.

Will it record allergies correctly?

It repeats them back and puts them on the booking, which is safer than a note shouted across a busy service.

What about December?

Party bookings arrive in a six week window and are worth many times a normal cover. Missing those calls is the most expensive thing a restaurant does all year.
