How Long Island Restaurants Can Stop Missing Phone Orders with AI

During a lunch or dinner rush, the phone often rings while everyone is busy. AI phone answering can pick up every call, answer common questions, and take orders or reservations.

Step 1: Find out how many calls you miss

Check your phone provider's call log for missed and unanswered calls by hour. That number, not an industry average, tells you if this is worth fixing. Our free 15-minute missed-call audit can help.

Step 2: Pick the right type of tool

Reservation-focused restaurants and takeout/pizza restaurants need different tools:

Slang.ai (starting price: $399/mo per location (Core)): AI voice host for reservations and FAQs (OpenTable/SevenRooms/Resy). Free trial: unknown. Spanish: Yes (bilingual on Premium $599).
Loman AI (starting price: $199/mo + $149 setup): AI phone ordering with payments and POS injection. Free trial: unknown. Spanish: Yes (30+ languages claimed).
Maple (starting price: ~$120/mo (third-party)): Voice AI that answers calls and takes orders. Free trial: unknown. Spanish: unknown.
Kea AI (starting price: ~$450/mo (third-party)): Voice AI for restaurant phone orders. Free trial: unknown. Spanish: unknown.
Goodcall (starting price: $79/mo (100 unique callers)): General AI phone agent billed per unique caller. Free trial: unknown. Spanish: unknown.

Step 3: Add missed-call text-back

When a call is missed, an automatic text with your online ordering link gives the customer another way to order. Ordering platforms like Owner.com (starting price: not verified) and ChowNow (starting price: not verified) provide that link.

Step 4: Keep information current

The AI is only as good as its data: hours, holiday closures, menu and prices. Update them whenever they change.
