Your phone rings. Appetell answers.
An AI agent that picks up the phone, takes orders naturally, and prints them straight to your kitchen. No missed calls. No hold times. No extra staff.
The problem
Rush hour hits. The phone won't stop ringing.
Every unanswered call is a lost order. But picking up means in-store customers wait. Hiring someone just for phones costs $3,000+/month — for a task that only peaks a few hours a day.
The solution
Appetell picks up so your team doesn't have to
An AI agent answers every call, takes orders through natural conversation, and sends tickets straight to your kitchen printer. Use it during rush hours or let it run 24/7.

Bilingual
Reach every caller. In their language.
One toggle adds Mandarin to your phone line. Callers pick the language they're comfortable with — orders flow into the same queue, your kitchen prints the same ticket. No second phone number. No second menu.
One-click toggle
Flip Chinese support on from the dashboard. The AI is live in Mandarin on your next call, with a brief language pick at the top so callers self-route. Toggle off anytime — you're back to English-only on the next ring.
Voice keywords for accuracy
Per-language keyword lists tune the speech recognition for your menu's exact dishes — generate them from your menu in one click, edit anything that's off. Mandarin tones, English brand names, your house specials — all heard correctly.
Bilingual menus that just work
Add a Chinese name to any menu item — the AI speaks it to Mandarin callers and accepts both English and Chinese when they order. Skip it on items already common in English. Same menu, two ways to order.
