Takeaways & Restaurants
Phone systems for takeaways and restaurants
Handle order rushes without an engaged tone, queue callers politely, and keep the same number if you move premises.
The problem
What usually goes wrong for takeaways and restaurants
These are the call-handling problems we hear most often in this sector.
Friday and Saturday peaks mean an engaged tone — and the caller orders elsewhere.
One line, one member of staff, and a queue at the counter at the same time.
Delivery drivers and suppliers ring the same number as customers.
Moving premises usually means losing the number that's printed on every menu.
The setup
How we set it up for takeaways and restaurants
Call queues
Callers hold with a message and on-hold music instead of hearing an engaged tone.
Multiple people on one number
Two or three staff can take orders on the same number at busy times.
Menu options
Press 1 for orders, 2 for bookings, 3 for suppliers, so the kitchen line stays clear.
Keep your number anywhere
The number moves with you, so a new premises doesn't mean reprinting every menu.

FAQ
Common questions
Yes. Extra users can all answer the same advertised number, so peak-time callers aren't queued behind one handset.
