Every catering call, answered.
An AI receptionist for caterers answers inquiry calls while you are in the kitchen or at an event, takes the details of each job and books tastings. Voxgard picks up in about 0.3 seconds, day and night, in 32 languages. A caller planning a company lunch or a rehearsal dinner gets asked the questions you set: the date, the headcount, the location, the service style, and any allergies or dietary needs. It answers menu questions from your own menus and per-person prices, and says so when a request is outside what it knows. Tastings and consultations go into Google Calendar or Calendly with a text confirmation. Clients can text photos of the venue or a spread they liked by MMS. When a client with an event this weekend asks for you, it rings your phone. Plans start at $249 a month, and the free five-day pilot runs on your real calls with no credit card.

Caterers:
questions and answers.
It can give ranges from the per-person prices you set. Final quotes stay with your team.
It records allergies and dietary needs as the caller states them and answers only from what you loaded about your menu.
Yes. Two-way SMS and MMS come with every plan.
Standard answers three calls at once and Enterprise has no limit. Basic takes one at a time.
It does the job of both: it answers your business calls, takes messages and books appointments. A virtual receptionist is usually a person working remotely, and an answering service usually takes messages. Voxgard is AI: it picks up in about 0.3 seconds, day and night, and books straight into your calendar.
