What lands on your phone seconds after a call.
It’s answering the phone for Riverside Pizzeria, a sample restaurant. Ask it whatever a customer would.
Things to try
No order is placed and no table is booked.
The problem
During rush hours, your staff can't answer every call. After hours, nobody's there at all. Every unanswered call is a customer who wanted to give you money, and couldn't.

Why Rinqo
Your host goes home. The orders don't.
Your dashboard
Every call Rinqo answers is recorded, transcribed and summarized. See the tables it booked, the orders it took and how each caller felt, with the details texted to you within seconds of the hang-up.
Estimated from your menu prices. Your POS holds the price of record.

Integrations
Your menu, your tables, your tickets. Rinqo is built to sit alongside the systems your restaurant already uses.
Which systems connect depends on your plan and your setup. Ask us about yours.
Pricing
Three plans, one for each job. All of them come with 700 minutes a month, then $0.35 a minute, on the number you already have.
Prices do not include sales tax, which is added where it applies.
Minutes belong to the location and add up across all of its calls, by the second. They don't carry over. 700 minutes is roughly 230 three-minute calls; we let you know at 80 percent and you choose whether it keeps answering.
FAQ
Rinqo uses the latest voice AI technology with natural speech patterns, pauses, and tone, so a call sounds like a conversation. If a caller asks, it says plainly that it is Rinqo, the restaurant's automated host, then gets back to their order. It never claims to be a person. During your free pilot, we'll give you a demo call so you can hear exactly how it sounds.
If a caller asks something the agent doesn't know, it offers to transfer them to your manager or take a message. The caller's number and the question appear in your dashboard, and arrive by text if you turn on text alerts, so you can follow up. No customer is ever left hanging.
Nope. Rinqo works with your existing phone number. We set up call forwarding so when you're busy, closed, or don't pick up within a few rings, the call routes to your Rinqo agent automatically. No new equipment, no downtime.
Most restaurants are live within 24 hours. We take one meeting to learn your menu, hours, reservation rules, and common questions, then we build and test your agent the same day. You start your 7-day free pilot immediately after.
Yes. There's no contract, no cancellation fee. If Rinqo isn't working for you, simply cancel and we'll disconnect your agent. We also offer a 30-day money-back guarantee on your first payment.
Connect your POS and your agent keeps itself current. Rinqo reads your menu and prices directly from Toast, Square or Clover, so when you change a price there, your agent quotes the new one. Nothing for you to log into and nothing to update. Not on one of those systems? Email or text us the change and we'll have your agent updated within a few hours.
Starter is $197 a month per location and answers every call. Pro is $297 and also takes orders, payments and bookings. Both include 700 minutes a month, then $0.35 a minute, and paying yearly takes two months off. Five or more locations start at $247 a location. There's no setup fee, no contract, and a 30-day money-back on your first payment. Prices do not include sales tax, which is added where it applies.
Both, by plan. On Starter, Rinqo takes the booking on the call, the name, party size, date, time and a phone number, and puts the request in your dashboard to confirm, with a text as well if you turn on text alerts. On Pro, where your booking system connects, it checks availability and books the table while the caller is on the line, so they hear it confirmed before they hang up. Either way the caller's own words are kept beside the booking, so "Friday at seven" is a phrase you can read, not a guess.
Rinqo never asks for a card number and has nowhere to store one. A pickup order is paid at the counter, exactly as phone orders are today. Paying ahead is not offered yet; when it comes to the Pro plan, the caller will get a secure payment link by text and pay on their own phone, and the card details will go straight to the payment processor and never touch Rinqo or your phone line. If a caller starts reading a card number aloud, the agent stops them politely and says payment is handled by the restaurant.
No contract. No setup fee. Seven days on your own number, and a text after every call.
