AI ops assistant for Torquay restaurants. Handle the admin, run the service.
Your Torquay restaurant handles hundreds of small tasks every week that aren't cooking or serving. Calso handles them instead — phones, bookings, supplier queries, customer follow-ups — so you and your team focus on the actual business.
Friday lunch on the Torquay strip: three phone calls come in while the kitchen's mid-rush, a customer cancels last-minute, a supplier invoice arrives with the wrong line items, and someone needs to reply to that review from last night. Most restaurants handle this chaos manually, which means missed calls, forgotten tasks, and someone's Sunday afternoon spent drafting rosters. Calso is the AI operations layer that sits underneath — answering phones during service, confirming bookings, chasing no-shows, resolving supplier issues, and replying to reviews. It's not about replacing your team. It's about removing the administrative friction that stops them from doing their actual job.
Torquay's hospitality scene moves fast. You've got weekenders coming down from Melbourne, locals who know the strip, families on school holidays, and the kind of trading rhythm where Friday and Saturday nights fill up weeks in advance. Competition's tight — there are good venues all along the coast, and venues in Anglesea, Winchelsea, and Bells Beach pulling custom too. That means every missed call, every slow booking confirmation, every delayed response to a review is a customer who might book somewhere else instead.

The operational grind every restaurant owner knows.
How Calso helps a Torquay restaurant
The whole operational layer — handled autonomously.
Phone answering during service
Calso picks up every call while you're mid-service. Books tables, takes messages, handles common queries. Calls are logged and reviewed, so nothing disappears.
Booking and no-show management
Confirms reservations 24 hours out, catches no-shows before they happen, reschedules cancellations. Protects your covers and your weekend revenue.
Supplier and admin queries
Handles back-and-forth with suppliers about invoices, stock, delivery times. Resolves routine questions so your manager isn't doing email tennis all day.
Review replies and customer follow-up
Responds to reviews on the day they land, follows up on complaints or feedback. Keeps your reputation clean without manual effort.
A day at a Torquay restaurant
It's Friday lunch in Torquay. Two calls come in while the kitchen's slammed. Calso answers both, books a table for tomorrow, confirms a cancellation. A supplier query lands in email — Calso resolves it. By 2pm, your manager hasn't touched the phone once.
What you reclaim
Reclaim 8–12 hours a week on admin tasks that don't need a human brain.

Common questions from Torquay restaurants
Does Calso work for Torquay restaurants specifically?+
Yes. Calso's built for hospitality venues of any size. It handles the operational rhythm of Torquay restaurants — the phone calls during service, the booking confirmations, the supplier chasing, the review replies. It learns your venue's patterns and integrates with the tools you already use.
How is Calso different from hiring a part-time admin or VA?+
A part-time admin or VA costs time to onboard, takes days off, and can only handle one thing at a time. Calso works 24/7, handles multiple tasks simultaneously, and doesn't need training — it learns your venue's patterns and preferences. You're also not managing another person's schedule or performance.
What happens if Calso gets something wrong?+
Every action Calso takes is logged and reviewable. You see what it said on calls, what bookings it made, what it replied to. You can override anything, and Calso learns from corrections. It starts conservative — asking for confirmation on uncertain things — and earns more autonomy over time as it proves itself reliable.
Can we integrate Calso with our POS and accounting?+
Yes. Calso integrates with the major systems — Xero, MYOB, Square, and most POS platforms. That means booking data flows into your reservations, supplier queries sync with your accounting, and nothing gets manually entered twice. Integration happens during setup.
How do we get started?+
We're working with founding venues to shape how Calso works for Australian hospitality. If you're interested, get on the waitlist. We'll walk you through setup, integrate with your systems, and get Calso live in your venue within a couple of weeks.
