AI Operations for Canberra CBD Restaurants — Handle Admin While You Run Service

Calso answers the calls Canberra CBD restaurants miss, answers questions from your own website and Google listing, and texts you the message. From $99 a month.

Set up Calso See how it works

Canberra CBD's hospitality scene is competitive and rhythm-driven. You've got the weekday lunch crowd from nearby offices, weekend diners from suburbs like Belconnen and Tuggeranong, and the Friday-night surge that turns the strip into a bottleneck. Your neighbours in Braddon and Kingston are doing the same thing—all fighting for the same covers, all drowning in the same admin. The venues that win aren't always the ones with the best kitchen. They're the ones with headspace to think about service, marketing, and the next week's covers.

What Canberra CBD restaurants deal with

The week every restaurant owner knows.

•Phone rings during service, you miss the booking or the supplier question entirely.
•No-show costs you a cover; follow-up emails never get sent because you're in the weeds.
•Roster planning eats your Sunday because you're guessing covers instead of forecasting.
•Supplier invoices arrive wrong, disputes drag on, you're chasing them instead of cooking.
•Review replies stack up; customer emails sit in your inbox for three days.

How Calso helps a Canberra CBD restaurant

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.

You keep your number. Callers dial the one they always have, and you forward only the calls you miss.
It answers from your own website, Google listing and a short setup interview, so callers get your details, not guesses.
Starter is $99 a month, sized for about 100 answered calls a month; Pro is $199, sized for about 500. Go over and calls are still answered, with nothing cut off and nothing charged extra, and you can move to Pro any time.
