AI ops for East Melbourne brunch spots. Waitlists, orders, rosters. Running smoothly.
Calso answers the calls East Melbourne brunch spots miss, answers questions from your own website and Google listing, and texts you the message. From $99 a month.
East Melbourne's brunch culture draws regulars from across the inner north—Fitzroy, Carlton, Collingwood—and weekend visitors hunting the suburb's quieter, less hyped coffee strip. You're competing against venues with bigger teams and deeper pockets, but you've got the advantage of knowing your neighbourhood and your customers. The rhythm is brutal though: Thursday prep, Friday night, Saturday morning mayhem, Sunday service, then Monday starts the cycle again. Most of your time isn't spent cooking or talking to guests. It's spent on the stuff that shouldn't need you.

How Calso helps a East Melbourne brunch spot
Where Calso fits: the phone.
Answers the calls you miss
Forward the calls you don't pick up to your Calso number. Callers still dial your usual number, and you keep it.
Answers the usual questions
Hours, menu, dietaries, parking and policies, answered from your own website, Google listing and setup interview.
Takes table bookings
If you take bookings, Calso takes them on the call and keeps them in your Calso dashboard. It does not write into another booking system.
Texts you what needs you
Functions, catering, big groups and callbacks: the caller's name, number and what they need, texted to you straight away.
Says it's an AI if asked
It never pretends to be a person, and if it doesn't know something it doesn't guess: it takes a message.
What it doesn't do: it doesn't order stock, reconcile invoices, reply to reviews, post to social media or build rosters, and it doesn't record calls.
