A restaurant that gets 15 calls a week after closing, where 60% of callers would have ordered at a $35 average ticket, loses about $1,365 a month, or $16,380 a year. For a motel at a $198 average booking, the same 15 calls are worth $7,722 a month. Run your own numbers below - the calculator is free, updates live, and nothing you type leaves your browser.
Presets: $35 average restaurant order, $198 average hotel or motel booking ($110 a night x 1.8 nights). Switching the business type resets this field; edit it to match your numbers.
Planning estimates, not a guarantee. Every input is editable and the results recalculate as you type, entirely on this page.
Lost revenue per month = after-hours calls per week x callers who would have ordered or booked (%) x average sale value x 52 / 12. The yearly figure is the same weekly loss x 52. With the restaurant defaults - 15 after-hours calls a week, 60% intent, $35 average order - that is 15 x 0.60 x $35 = $315 a week, about $1,365 a month and $16,380 a year. Switch to the hotel preset ($198 average booking) and the same calls are worth about $7,722 a month.
Why 60% instead of the 85% used in our missed call calculator? After closing time every caller reaches nobody, so the question is not how many hang up on voicemail but how many were genuinely trying to spend money. Someone dialing a restaurant at 9:45 p.m. or a motel at midnight usually is; 60% is a deliberately conservative share, and the field is editable if your experience differs.
Nights and weekends are exactly when nobody is at the desk or the host stand, and when a competitor with a live answer wins the order or the walk-in booking. Count last week's after-hours calls in your phone log and enter the real number for a tighter estimate.
If you want those calls answered instead of estimated, Siya picks up 24/7 - nights, weekends and holidays - from $19/mo (pricing), taking restaurant orders and room bookings while you are closed.
Lost revenue per month = after-hours calls per week x callers who would have ordered or booked (%) x average sale value x 52 / 12, and the yearly figure is the same weekly loss x 52. With the restaurant defaults (15 calls, 60%, $35) that is about $1,365 a month and $16,380 a year.
The 85% figure estimates how many callers who reach voicemail during open hours give up and buy elsewhere. After hours, every caller reaches nobody, so the honest question is how many were genuinely ready to order or book. We default to a conservative 60% for that intent share, and the field is editable if your experience differs.
Open your phone's call history and count inbound calls between closing and opening for the last 7 days, including weekend days you are shut. Most restaurants and motels are surprised: evenings, early mornings and Sundays routinely add up to 10 to 25 calls a week.
Yes. Diners call at 9:45 p.m. hoping the kitchen is still open, travelers call motels at midnight from the highway, and planners call about tomorrow's catering before you unlock the door. Those callers have the highest intent of the day, and whoever answers, even an AI, usually wins the sale.
No. The math runs entirely in your browser with plain JavaScript. Nothing you type is uploaded, stored or shared, and refreshing the page restores the defaults.
