Café Phone & SMS Ordering Automation

Take orders. Not interruptions.

Turn a call or text into a confirmed order, an SMS payment link and a connected kitchen handoff. Keep your team on the coffee—not the phone.

Discuss Your Café Setup

Square-first for Square cafés. Other POS systems assessed individually.

Keep the rush flowing

The phone shouldn’t stop the pour.

Phone orders, payment chasing and handwritten tickets pull your team away from customers. Connect the steps around the menu and systems you already use.

  • Capture items, sizes and extras before the kitchen gets the order.
  • Send a secure checkout link instead of taking card details over the phone.
  • Return confirmed pickup updates without another customer call.
  • Build a customer record—and an optional, consent-based marketing list.

From phone to pickup

An order that keeps moving.

Illustrative journey · no live orders

Call or SMS

The order starts with a conversation.

An ordering assistant captures menu items, sizes, extras and pickup details. Unclear requests and allergy questions go to your team.

Awaiting customer confirmation

Customer SMSExample

Just confirming: two flat whites, one with oat milk, and a toasted sandwich. Is that right?

01 / 05

Built around your café

Square where it fits. Your POS where it works.

Square cafés

Use a Square payment link for the exact order, sent by SMS. Validate paid pickup orders, your POS configuration and kitchen routing together.

Other POS or Stripe

Assess supported order and payment connections first. Stripe can be an option where appropriate; fees, reconciliation and kitchen routing are agreed before quoting.

Customer records & CRM

Connect supported customer records and order history. A CRM alone does not send an order to the kitchen. Marketing consent stays separate from order updates.

POS and kitchen-display compatibility, payment events and usable readiness updates must be proven with your café’s setup. Not every system supports every step.

Staff stay in control

Automate the routine. Escalate the exceptions.

Your menu is the source

Confirm prices, modifiers, availability and opening hours from your café. Allergy questions, substitutions and unclear orders go to staff.

Paid means verified

No preparation on a payment-link click. Test duplicates, expired payments, refunds and connection failures, with a clear staff fallback.

Real timing. Clear consent.

Pickup estimates come from the café, not the assistant’s imagination. Offers require separate permission and an unsubscribe option.

From discovery to delivery

Prove one café flow. Then launch.
