Bella answers around the clock, including after close and on public holidays, so bookings made when you're shut are captured instead of lost to voicemail.
Short answer: yes. Bella answers every call in an Australian voice, books tables and takes orders, and hands anything unusual to your team. Here's how it works.
Restaurants can use it today. For hotels there's VoxStay, a Vox product still in development — here's honestly what it's designed to do and what it can't yet.
Yes — VoxOrder takes takeaway and pickup orders by phone in Bella's voice and sends them straight to your team, so the phone stops competing with the pass.
Yes — you keep your phone number, calls are forwarded to Bella, and bookings land in your BitePerk dashboard. Here's how it fits what you already run.
Most venues are live within 48 hours. Here's what BitePerk needs from you — your hours, booking rules and menu — and how call forwarding is switched on.
BitePerk is a flat monthly plan with no per-cover or per-call fees. The honest answer on contracts and cancelling, and where to see your venue's exact terms.
Bella books straightforward tables herself and turns big-group and function calls into a proper lead for your team — captured with details, never lost.
Bella is built not to guess. When she isn't sure, she takes the caller's details and flags your team for a callback, so an unclear call becomes a lead.
Booking records are stored in Australia, in Sydney. Call recordings delete themselves after 30 days and never train AI models. The honest detail on data.
