What it is

A phone-answering system built for food businesses

When a customer calls your restaurant, VoxAI picks up, carries out a natural conversation, takes the order details, confirms the total including HST, and passes everything to your kitchen — all without your staff needing to touch the phone.

Some owners describe it as an AI receptionist, a virtual receptionist, or an AI phone agent. Whatever the label, the practical job is the same: your phone gets answered and your orders get captured, even during your busiest hours.

VoxAI is not a human answering service and it is not a call centre. It is software that connects to your existing phone line and handles inbound calls using AI. No hardware to install. No app for your customers to download. Customers call your regular number and reach VoxAI.

Who it is for

Built for independent Canadian food businesses

VoxAI is designed for businesses that take food orders over the phone and need reliable call handling without hiring extra staff.

Pizza shops
Takeout restaurants
Quick-service restaurants
Small restaurants that take phone orders
Cafés and bakeries that accept phone orders
Food trucks accepting phone pre-orders or catering and event inquiries

Suitability for food trucks depends on your workflow and can be reviewed during onboarding.

Labour context

According to Statistics Canada, labour accounted for about 33.6% of Canadian foodservice operating expenses in 2024, and the foodservice job vacancy rate was 7.1% in 2023.

A TouchBistro 2024 survey found about 30% of Canadian diners said they ordered takeout at least weekly.

VoxAI is one option for managing phone order volume without adding to a staffing workload that is already under pressure. Whether it is right for your operation depends on your specific workflow and call volume.

FAQ

Common questions

Is this an answering service or software?

VoxAI is software — a cloud-based AI system that connects to your restaurant's phone line and handles inbound calls automatically. It is not a human answering service or a call centre. Your phone forwards to VoxAI, and VoxAI handles the call in real time.

Does VoxAI replace my staff?

No. VoxAI handles inbound phone orders so your team can focus on cooking and serving. Your staff still manage the kitchen, handle in-person customers, deal with complaints, and run the restaurant. VoxAI is a phone-answering tool, not a replacement for people.

What kinds of restaurants is VoxAI for?

VoxAI is designed for independent pizza shops, takeout restaurants, quick-service restaurants, small restaurants, and cafés or bakeries that take phone orders. It may also suit food trucks that accept phone pre-orders, catering inquiries, or event inquiries — suitability for food trucks depends on your workflow and can be reviewed during onboarding.

Does VoxAI take payment over the phone?

No. VoxAI does not collect card payments, process transactions, or handle financial data from callers. VoxAI confirms the order total with HST so the customer knows what to expect at pickup, but payment happens at your counter as it always has.
