Voice AI for wings restaurants built for the sauce ladder and the combo rush.
Bone-in or boneless? Buffalo, honey garlic, or half and half? Blue cheese or ranch? TastyVox takes every combination accurately — even during the Super Bowl halftime rush.
TL;DR
- Wing orders pile modifiers on every line — flats-only, sauce-on-the-side, ranch vs blue cheese, heat level — and Sunday-game volume buries the host stand.
- TastyVox runs unlimited concurrent calls during NFL kickoffs and confirms every modifier before close.
- 50- and 100-piece party bucket inquiries get captured with pickup window and sauce split intact, instead of disappearing into voicemail.
Plans start at $99/month per location. No per-call fees.
The real challenge
Why is phone ordering hard for Wings restaurants?
The half-and-half sauce order your staff mishears every time
A caller wants 20 wings: half buffalo, half honey garlic, bone-in, with blue cheese and a side of celery. Then they pause and ask if they can do a third sauce on the last five. Your staff starts over. TastyVox takes the order in sequence, handles the split, and confirms before close.
Five lines ringing at kickoff
Game day at 6pm. Every phone line is active. Your team is focused on the rush in front of them — and the phone is ringing, ringing, ringing. TastyVox answers every line simultaneously so your team can focus on getting orders out the door.
The heat level that means 'spicy' but not 'my face is on fire'
A caller asks for 'medium heat' on the Nashville hot dry rub. At your restaurant, medium is genuinely hot. TastyVox uses your restaurant's heat language and confirms appropriately — so they don't call back to complain about the food that never arrived.
How it works
How does TastyVox handle Wings orders?
Caller asks for a 20-piece — split sauces, flats-only
TastyVox confirms bone-in vs boneless, walks the sauce split (e.g. 10 hot, 10 garlic-parm), asks the flats/drums/mixed question, and confirms ranch or blue cheese — every count on the ticket, no kitchen guesswork.
Heat ladder gets captured in your house language
Mild, medium, hot, atomic, suicide — your ladder, your names. TastyVox repeats the level back so the fryer doesn't fire 'extra hot' when the caller wanted 'medium-hot.'
Sunday-rush volume doesn't kill your phone
Game-day Sundays push wing shops past 50 calls/hour. TastyVox runs them all in parallel, holds pickup ETAs against your live fryer queue, and doesn't drop the 100-piece catering caller because the line is busy.

Real phone vocabulary
What Wings callers actually ask for
These are the modifiers and phrases your line cooks recognize the second they hear them — and the ones generic IVR systems collapse, mis-route, or drop entirely. TastyVox is trained on this vocabulary by default.
Bone-in vs boneless
Different fryer baskets, different cook times, different sauce coverage. Boneless is breaded chicken breast — entirely different SKU than a wing.
Flats-only / drums-only / mixed
Flats hold sauce better; drums are easier to eat. Roughly 30% of callers will ask for one or the other. Generic IVR drops this and the kitchen ships a default mix.
Sauce-tossed vs sauce-on-the-side vs naked
Tossed comes saucy out of the bowl; on-the-side comes dry with a portion cup; naked is no sauce at all. Wrong choice = remake or a complaint.
Heat ladder — mild / medium / hot / atomic / signature top-end
Every wing shop has its own ladder, often with a signature peak (e.g. 'blazin', 'suicide', 'reaper'). The level needs to be repeated back verbatim, not summarized.
Dry rub vs wet sauce
Dry rub goes on after the fry, no sauce. Some shops do half-rubbed/half-sauced on a 20-piece — needs split confirmation.
Extra crispy / double-fry
Add 2–4 minutes to cook time and changes the fire-order. Must land as a modifier flag the line sees at fire time.
Ranch vs blue cheese (and how many cups)
Default is one cup; callers regularly want two, three, or 'a cup for every six wings.' Upsell line if your shop charges for extra.
Celery and carrots — yes, swap, or skip
Some shops include, some charge. Caller will ask. Needs a real answer tied to your menu, not an apology.
Party bucket — 50, 75, 100 with sauce splits
Large-format orders with 3–4 sauce splits, ranch counts, and a pickup window. Doesn't fit a single text field — needs a structured intake.
Common questions
What Wings operators usually ask
Can TastyVox handle split sauce orders accurately?
Yes. Sauce splits — half buffalo, half honey garlic — are handled as separate modifier instructions per portion, confirmed before the order closes.
What about orders with multiple flavors across a large order?
TastyVox takes multi-flavor orders by quantity for each sauce, confirms the breakdown, and sends a single organized ticket to your kitchen.
How does it handle the game-day volume spike?
Unlimited simultaneous calls. Whether five people or fifty call in the same window, every one is answered.
Can it suggest the right combo size for a caller?
Yes. When a caller describes their group size, TastyVox can suggest the appropriate combo or bucket based on your menu structure.
Does it handle delivery and pickup routing?
Yes. TastyVox routes callers through delivery or pickup paths with appropriate information for each.
What if a sauce is out for the night?
TastyVox syncs with your GoTab menu. When you remove a sauce, callers are informed immediately and offered alternatives.
