Restaurants
How much are missed calls costing your restaurant?
Drag the sliders to your numbers and see the reservations — and revenue — slipping away each month when a call goes unanswered during the rush. No signup. Then call the live demo line and hear the receptionist that catches them.
That’s roughly 0 missed calls a month — and about $0/year.
EchoAnswers answers every one of them for a flat $99/month.
Call the demo · +1 (928) 399-7870The phone rings hardest exactly when the house is full and no one can grab it. Reservation, takeout, and catering calls pile up during the rush, roll to voicemail, and the party books somewhere that answered. A missed catering call alone can be worth a whole night’s covers.
How the estimate works
We keep the math simple and show every assumption so you can adjust it to your business:
- Missed calls per month = calls per week × the share you miss × about 4.3 weeks.
- Lost customers = those missed calls × the share that would have become a customer (your close rate).
- Lost revenue = lost customers × your average job value.
It’s deliberately conservative: it only counts callers who would have booked, not every ring. Change any number above and the estimate updates instantly. This is a sizing tool, not a guarantee.
What it would take to stop the leak
You don’t need to hire a receptionist or answer the phone at midnight. EchoAnswers picks up every call you can’t — after hours, on a job, or when the line’s busy — books appointments, answers your common questions, and emails you a summary of each call. It works on the number you already have through call forwarding, with nothing to install.
It’s one flat price: $99/month, 600 call minutes included, then $0.50 per additional minute, itemized on every invoice. No setup fees, no contracts, 30-day money-back guarantee, and you keep your own number.
Frequently asked questions
Why do restaurants miss so many calls?
The phone is busiest during service, when every staffer is on the floor or in the kitchen. Reservation and catering callers won’t hold — they book the next place that picks up.
What is one missed restaurant call really worth?
A table of guests, a takeout order, or a catering booking worth far more than a single cover. Put your own average booking value into the calculator above.
