Before you forward a call

Questions cafés ask before they start.

Can RankLadder take catering and wholesale orders over the phone?

It captures the order, the headcount, the date, and pickup or delivery timing on the call, then texts your order form or price list to confirm. Big catering orders get flagged in your inbox so you can call back before the customer books elsewhere.

Can it answer questions about hours, milk options, and seating?

It answers from a knowledge base built from your website and Google profile, covering hours, dairy-free and milk options, seating, Wi-Fi, and whether you take wholesale accounts. When it can’t answer something, it logs the question so you can add it.

Can it handle calls when my baristas are slammed?

That’s the point. The AI answers every call while the counter is buried, captures the order or question, and drops a clean summary in your inbox. Your baristas stay on the bar, and nothing rings out to voicemail during the rush.

Can it ask for reviews after an order?

Yes, on every paid plan. The request goes out in one tap on the text thread that confirmed the order, opt-out handling built in. When a new Google review lands, the AI drafts a reply for you to approve before it posts.

Will it sound like a robot to my customers?

It tells callers it’s an AI assistant and speaks naturally in 18 languages. When a question needs a person, like a tricky wholesale request, it transfers rather than guessing. Your customers hear a warm answer when the call reaches RankLadder instead of a voicemail greeting.

Do I have to change my phone number?

No. The number on your cups, your door, and your Google listing stays where it is; you forward it to your dedicated RankLadder line. Unforward whenever you want. There’s no lock-in.
