The real challenge
Why is phone ordering hard for Sushi restaurants?
The 'is it fresh?' question that comes on every call
Sushi guests are discerning. They ask about fish freshness, sourcing, and preparation. Your staff fields these questions dozens of times a day. TastyVox handles the standard freshness and sourcing questions based on your menu information, saving your team for the complex conversations.
The specialty roll modification that requires a chef consult
A caller wants the Dragon Roll but asks if they can sub the shrimp tempura for salmon, skip the avocado, and add jalapeño. Your staff has to check. TastyVox knows which substitutions are available in your menu and handles permitted modifications cleanly without interrupting your sushi chefs.
Large platter orders that need sizing guidance
A caller is ordering a platter for ten people and asks what size to get. TastyVox gives your standard serving guidance — '60 pieces serves 6–8 guests' — and walks through your platter options, upselling appropriately to match the group size.
