How do I forward my restaurant's calls to an AI when we're too busy to answer?

Keep your restaurant's number and turn on your phone carrier's "no answer" and "busy" call forwarding to your Mobile Bites number. Your phone rings as usual; only calls nobody picks up after a few rings, or calls that come in while the line is busy, go to your AI host.

Your staff still answer first

You choose how many rings before the call forwards, usually 3.

Customers keep calling the same number they always have. Nothing changes on your Google listing or menus.

Setting it up

When you sign up you get your own Mobile Bites number in your area code.

Most phone carriers let you turn on no-answer and busy forwarding from your phone or your account. We walk you through it during setup, and your free trial doesn't start until the first call actually comes in.

Common questions

Do I need a new phone number?
No. You keep your number; it forwards to your Mobile Bites number only when nobody answers or the line is busy.
Do I need new hardware?
No.
What if forwarding takes a few tries to set up?
That's fine. Your 14-day trial starts with the first real call, not on sign-up day.

Our AI answers your phone and handles your orders.

One saved $30 order a day is about $900 a month.
