AI Receptionist for Restaurants

Four people called during the dinner rush. Three of them ordered somewhere else.

At 6pm everyone is on the line, at the counter, or running food, and the phone is the one thing in the building with nobody assigned to it. Corex AI picks up what your team can't. It knows your menu, your hours and today's special, takes to-go orders and reservations, and it texts you a summary of every call it takes.

// HOW IT WORKS

From your number to live calls, in 48 hours.

1
We forward your line
Your existing number rings through to Corex when nobody can grab it, or 24/7, your call. Nothing to port, nothing to cancel, one setting to undo.
2
It learns your menu
Real items, prices, sizes and options, your hours, and today's special. Callers get someone who knows the menu, not a generic robot.
3
The order reaches your kitchen
By email, by text, or up on a screen at the counter. Works with whatever you already run, nothing to install. Reservations come through the same way. Live in 48 hours.
// VS. A HUMAN ANSWERING SERVICE

Why restaurants are switching from $300 to $800/mo answering services to Corex.

Knows your real menu, prices, sizes and daily special. An answering service takes a message.

Sits behind the line you already have and picks up on no-answer, nothing to port or cancel.

Flat monthly instead of per minute, so a packed Friday doesn't cost more than a slow Tuesday.

// WHAT A BUSY KITCHEN SOUNDS LIKE

“Friday nights the phone just rang. Nobody could get to it, and we never found out what we missed. Now those calls get answered and the orders are waiting for us when we come up for air.”

// FREQUENTLY ASKED

Questions restaurants ask before signing up.

How does the order reach my kitchen?
However you want it to. The order comes to you by email, by text, or up on a screen at the counter. That works with whatever you already run, there is nothing to install, and it is how every restaurant we set up starts. Writing the order straight into your POS is not something we do today. If that is what you want, tell us which system you run and we will tell you what is actually possible on it before you sign anything.
Can it take reservations too?
Yes. It takes the name, the party size, the time and a phone number, and sends it straight to you by text or email, or puts it on a calendar you connect. It does not write into a reservation platform like Resy or OpenTable, so if you run one of those, the booking comes to you and your host enters it.
Do I have to change my phone number?
No. Your number, your phones and your current provider all stay exactly where they are. You switch on forward-on-no-answer, so the AI only ever picks up the calls that were already heading to voicemail. It's one setting, and you can undo it in about a minute.
Will it actually know our menu?
Yes. We load your real menu before you go live: items, prices, sizes and options, your hours, and your daily specials. Change the special every day and you update it in one place, and the AI has it on the next call.
What does it cost?
$149/mo includes 200 minutes, then 35 cents a minute after that. $249/mo is unlimited with no overage. Most restaurants should start on unlimited, because the two plans cross at around 480 minutes and a busy phone gets there. There is no setup fee, and it's month to month.
