At 6:47pm on a Tuesday your host is buried. The phone rings eleven times. Caller hangs up. That's $43 in the dumpster, times six tonight, times 250 service nights a year. Kea and Orderly.ai fix it for $299-599/mo. Ascero AI fixes it for $199/mo flat — same 2-ring answer, same dietary handling, same Apple Pay checkout, same SMS confirmation. Demo: Il Corvo (Brookline MA, 60-seat Italian, 38 phone orders/day, 22% abandon rate) — down to 0.2% abandon, $180/day recovered = $65,700/yr.
We fork-ring your existing number, attach to Toast / Square / Clover for 86-list + menu sync, and start picking up in 2 rings. Demo runs against Il Corvo — 60-seat Italian in Brookline, MA, Tuesday dinner rush, 47 inbound calls.
