A typical restaurant fielding 950 inbound calls a month and missing 28% of them loses an estimated $13,486 a month — about $161,834 a year — at a $65 average ticket and a 78% close rate. A 24/7 AI receptionist that holds the miss rate to 4% recovers the bulk of it. The numbers below are pre-loaded with restaurants benchmarks — change any of them to match your shop.

What capping the miss rate is worth
Benchmark basis: Toast 2025 Restaurant Industry Report — missed-call benchmarks; Square for Restaurants — voice + takeout report 2025. The 4% miss floor is our deployed-receptionist operating target; real performance varies ±2 pts by call complexity.
Restaurants bleed money in 3 places: review response gaps, no-show rates, and labor drift. The Review Engine auto-requests from happy diners + drafts owner replies. The Front Desk handles reservations 24/7. The Weekly Report catches labor drift before payroll makes it a problem.
