AI phone ordering for Foodhub
Zogu answers your restaurant's own phone, takes the order and puts it straight into Foodhub.
What it does for a Foodhub takeaway or restaurant
Zogu takes phone orders the way your staff would, and puts them where your staff would.
- Orders go straight into Foodhub, so nobody types them in again.
- The menu comes from Foodhub: items, options and prices. There's no second menu to keep.
- Calls come to your restaurant's own number, one number per restaurant.
- It takes pickup and delivery orders, and table bookings in Zogu's own diary.
- Regulars are greeted by first name and can ask for "same as last time".
How a call goes
Zogu asks what the caller would like and takes the order item by item. When they're done, it reads the whole order back once with the total and asks for one yes. The order is sent to Foodhub while the caller is still on the line, then Zogu says goodbye and hangs up without waiting for the kitchen. Step by step: how Zogu takes a phone order.
What it won't do
- No transfers to staff, ever, and no promised call-backs.
- No card details by voice. Paying by a texted link is built but not switched on yet.
- In testing: no restaurant uses Zogu yet, and so far it has only taken test orders.
Getting set up
Zogu connects to Foodhub through our integration platform and reads your menu from there. We give your restaurant its own phone number, and you ring it yourself to check a test order arrives in Foodhub. Zogu also works with Clover and Oracle MICROS RES 3700. Every system is on AI phone ordering for your POS.
Questions and answers
Does Zogu work with my Foodhub menu?
Yes. It reads the items, options and prices from Foodhub, so you don't retype anything.
Do I need new hardware?
None of Zogu's setup steps involve new hardware. Zogu answers on its own number and the order arrives in Foodhub.
What does a phone order look like in Foodhub?
It arrives with the items and options from your Foodhub menu, any notes, pickup or delivery, and the caller's name and number.
Will callers know it's automated?
Yes. Every greeting says it's the automated ordering assistant.
