The real challenge
Why is phone ordering hard for Bbq restaurants?
The 'how much for a group?' question that nobody can answer quickly
A caller wants to feed twelve people for a birthday party. How much meat? Which cuts? Should they get a full rack or two half racks? TastyVox gives your standard serving guidance — '1 pound of brisket serves 2–3 people' — and walks through your catering options before the caller calls your competitor.
Meat by the pound orders that always need a staff member
Ordering brisket by the pound requires knowing your current price per pound, what's available lean vs fatty, and when the next batch comes out of the smoker. TastyVox has your current pricing and availability and answers those questions accurately, every time.
Catering and event orders that arrive with three phone calls and a fax
A corporate event wants a full BBQ spread for 50 people. This order normally takes multiple callbacks and a lot of pen-and-paper coordination. TastyVox captures the event details, party size, and catering requirements in a single call and routes the structured inquiry to your catering manager.
