A phone order at an Indian restaurant averages 4 to 6 dishes, and each one carries its own decisions: 3 or 4 spice levels, naan choices, and dietary flags that genuinely matter. Siya answers 24/7, asks the spice level on every curry, answers vegetarian and vegan questions from your menu data, and keeps up on festival weekends, from $19 per month.
"Butter chicken mild, lamb vindaloo extra hot, is the korma made with nuts, is the biryani halal, and can the saag paneer be made vegan?" That is one normal call, and it deserves real answers, not a rushed voice shouting over a loud kitchen.
Then come the spikes. Diwali weekend, Eid, Navratri, a big cricket final: order volume can multiply on exactly the nights your team is most slammed, and the phone loses to the tandoor every time. The calls you miss on those nights are the biggest tickets of the year, family orders and last-minute party trays.
Callers who reach voicemail rarely call back. By the widely cited industry estimate, about 85% simply order from the next place. Put your own volume and ticket size into the missed-call calculator and see what a festival weekend of missed calls costs.
Every feature below is included on every plan, from the $19 Starter up.
Set your scale - mild, medium, hot, extra hot - as menu options and Siya asks it per dish, never assumes. The level prints beside each item on the kitchen ticket.
Vegetarian, vegan, halal, and gluten flags live on your menu items. Siya answers from them and only them, and for serious allergy questions she offers a transfer or takes a message instead of guessing.
Siya switches among 100+ languages mid-call the moment the caller does. One person orders in Hindi, another adds in English, and one correct ticket comes out.
Every call is answered in one ring even when the whole neighbourhood calls at once, and plans auto-upgrade at 110% usage so a Diwali weekend never cuts your line off.
Repeat-caller memory recognizes returning numbers and rebuilds their standing order in seconds. Owner-approved learned vocabulary picks up your house names for combos and thalis.
Orders land on the live board with printable tickets for the kitchen. Robocalls are screened out, and real people who need you are transferred to the desk or your cell.
Straight talk: AskSiya does not push orders into your POS yet. Orders land on the dashboard order board with printable tickets. Every feature is on every plan from $19/month, with auto-upgrade at 110% usage so calls never stop. See pricing or tour the full restaurant product.
Yes. Add your scale as options on each curry - mild, medium, hot, extra hot, or your own wording - and Siya asks per dish and prints the level beside each item on the kitchen ticket. She never assumes a default unless you set one.
She answers from the vegetarian, vegan, halal, and gluten flags you set on your menu items, and nothing else. For a serious allergy question she is instructed to offer a transfer to your team or take a detailed message rather than guess about the kitchen.
Hindi, Punjabi, Gujarati, Tamil, Bengali, Urdu, and 100+ others. Siya switches automatically mid-call when the caller changes language and switches back just as smoothly. Included on every plan.
Siya keeps answering in one ring no matter the volume, and plans auto-upgrade at 110% of included minutes so your line never goes dark mid-festival. You see every order on the board and every call in the transcript log.
