CATERING CALLS THAT DO NOT GET DROPPED

Omaha takes a steady stream of catering and advance-order calls — the kind that do not fit a place-it-now ordering flow. We worked with Srinivas to build scheduling that respects real store hours and a clean handoff for catering.

The problem

NOT EVERY ORDER IS FOR RIGHT NOW

A lot of Omaha's phone volume is forward-looking: a party order for Saturday, a pickup scheduled around a workday, a catering request that needs a real conversation. A simple take-the-order-now flow drops all of it.

Catering goes to a person

When the AI hears a catering request, it confirms that is what the caller means and hands the call to staff — catering is a relationship, not a transaction. The conversation patterns for this were documented and tuned around how Omaha's callers actually ask.

Scheduled orders that respect the kitchen

For non-catering future orders, the AI captures a pickup date and time and validates it against the location's real operating hours, including holiday overrides and timezone handling, so it never promises a slot the kitchen cannot serve.

Built around Omaha's call patterns

Future orders are a per-location capability, toggled and tuned for Omaha. The greeting, the questions, and the handoff rules were all shaped around the way this location actually runs.

What changed

Catering calls reach a person instead of a generic order flow

Scheduled orders validated against real store hours and holidays

Future-order behavior configurable per location

Conversation patterns documented and tuned to Omaha's callers
