Capture Orders Placed by Phone

Without pulling staff off the floor

Missed calls are missed revenue. 

Otto answers your phone instantly, takes accurate takeaway orders, confirms every detail, and sends them straight to your kitchen — no hold music, no chaos.

But Otto doesn’t just take orders. He grows them. With smart upsells and conversational prompts, Otto is increasing order value by 43%, recommending drinks, sides, combos, and add-ons, just like your best FOH pro would.

How Otto Order-Taking Works

When a customer calls, Otto answers in your venue’s voice and follows your menu rules. He checks availability, suggests popular add-ons, captures dietary notes, and confirms pickup times.

He handles:

  • Real-time menu reading and availability checks

  • Live order confirmation and total pricing

  • Modifications and cancellations

  • Instant POS or kitchen printer handoff

Otto even works after-hours, taking overnight orders for next-day prep, so your kitchen starts ahead.

Order FAQs 

Can Otto take multiple phone orders at once?

Yes — Otto handles multiple simultaneous calls without putting anyone on hold. No more busy signals, no more missed revenue.

How does Otto know what’s on our menu?

Otto reads directly from your menu, which you can manage via a URL, file upload, or Google listing. It always reflects your current items, pricing, and availability.

What happens if we run out of an item?

Use Otto’s Override feature to quickly mark items as unavailable, adjust wait times, or update substitutions — even for just an hour or a single day.

How do phone orders reach our kitchen?

Otto sends orders directly to your kitchen printer or KDS — or into your POS if integrated. You’ll never have to rekey a phone order again.

Can Otto upsell items during phone orders?

Yes — Otto intelligently suggests relevant add-ons, combos, and sides based on the caller’s order. 43% of guests accept an upsell.

What if a customer wants to change or cancel an order?

No problem. Otto handles modifications and cancellations just like a human would, confirming changes and adjusting the kitchen ticket in real-time.
