A busy pizza shop takes 20 to 30 phone orders on a Friday night, and every call that rings out is a $25 to $40 ticket ordered from the shop down the street. Siya answers in one ring, takes the whole order - size, toppings, half-and-half, delivery address - and drops it on your order board, from $19 per month.
Friday, 6:40 p.m. The oven is full, the counter is three deep, and both lines light up at once. Whoever your best phone person is, they are already on the other call.
Pizza orders are the most modifier-heavy calls in food service. A large half pepperoni half mushroom, light sauce, well done, extra ranch, plus a gluten-free small and a 2-liter is one normal order, and it has to be heard right the first time. Then come the address, the unit number, the buzzer code, and whether you even deliver to that block.
Miss the call and the caller rarely leaves a voicemail. By the widely cited industry estimate, about 85% of callers who hit voicemail simply order somewhere else. On a rush night that is not one lost pizza, it is a table of them, every week. Run your own numbers in the missed-call calculator.
Every feature below is included on every plan, from the $19 Starter up.
Sizes, crusts, toppings, combos, and split-topping pizzas. Siya asks the right follow-up questions, applies your menu options exactly, and reads the total back with tax before she hangs up.
Regulars say "the meat one" or "a garbage pie". Menu aliases and owner-approved learned vocabulary map house nicknames to real items, so Siya gets faster at your counter every week.
Repeat-caller memory recognizes the number, greets returning customers by what they order, and can rebuild their last order in seconds. Your 6 p.m. Friday regular feels like a regular.
Every order lands on the live order board - new, confirmed, ready - with a printable ticket for the makeline. No tablet farm, no retyping from a voicemail.
Street address, unit, buzzer, notes for the driver, all on the ticket. Describe your delivery boundaries in Siya's instructions and she politely offers pickup when an address falls outside them.
Siya switches languages mid-call the moment the caller does, screens out robocalls before they waste your time, and transfers to your counter or cell when someone needs a person.
Straight talk: AskSiya does not push orders into your POS yet. Orders land on the dashboard order board with printable tickets, and most shops run it right beside the register. Every feature is included on every plan from $19/month, and plans auto-upgrade at 110% usage so calls never stop. See pricing or tour the full restaurant product.
Yes. Your menu in the dashboard carries sizes, crusts, toppings, and split-topping options, and Siya asks the follow-up questions a good phone person would. She reads the full order back with the exact tax-included total before ending the call, and the ticket prints with every modifier spelled out.
Not yet. Orders land on the AskSiya order board and print as tickets, and staff advance them with one click. If POS injection is a hard requirement today, AskSiya is not the right fit yet - see the honest trade-offs in our restaurant AI roundup.
She captures the full address, unit, buzzer code, and driver notes on the ticket, and quotes your standard delivery time. Describe your delivery boundaries in her instructions and she offers pickup instead when an address falls outside them.
Plans are $19/month for 60 minutes of calls, $79 for 200, and $199 for 600, with 2 months free on annual billing and every feature on every plan. At a $30 average ticket, one saved order a month more than covers Starter.
No. You keep your number and forward calls to Siya: always, only when busy or unanswered, or only after close. Turn forwarding off any time and the phone rings the counter again.
