What makes phone traffic hard for Columbus restaurants?

Ohio State game days flood every nearby restaurant with calls. The city also has a significant Somali and Ethiopian dining community that serves a deeply loyal clientele. TastyVox handles the game-day surge and the everyday service with equal care.
