Calso for bakeries
Answers the phone while you're out the back with the ovens.
Calso is an AI phone answerer for Australian bakeries. When you're out the back and nobody can get to the counter phone, the call goes to Calso instead of ringing out. It answers questions about your hours, what you bake and dietary options from your own website and Google listing, takes cake orders and wholesale enquiries, and texts them to you straight away.
From $99 a month · 30-day money back from your first payment · You keep your number
The calls bakeries miss
- You started at 4am, you're elbow-deep in dough, and the phone is at the counter.
- Callers want to order a birthday cake, ask what's left today, or check on gluten-free bread.
- Wholesale and catering enquiries come by phone, and they're the ones worth calling back.

Written example of a typical call, not a recording
What Calso does on those calls
- Answers questions about your hours, what you bake, dietary options and order lead times, from your website and setup interview.
- Takes cake and special-order requests with every detail you ask for: size, flavour, writing and date.
- Takes wholesale enquiries and texts each one to you straight away.
- Says it's an AI assistant if anyone asks. It never pretends to be a person.
What it won't do
- It can't see your shelves, so it can't say what's left today.
- It doesn't take payment. You confirm the order and the price.
- It doesn't record calls, and it never guesses: what it doesn't know becomes a message for you.
How your bakery gets set up
- 01
Calso reads what you've published
Sign up with your business name. Calso reads your website and Google listing for your hours, services, prices and policies.
- 02
A short setup interview
Typed, or by voice if you'd rather. It covers what your website doesn't say, and how you want messages and requests taken.
- 03
Forward the calls you miss
You get your Calso number and choose a plan. Then set your phone to forward the calls you don't answer. Customers keep ringing your usual number.
Setup usually takes under 15 minutes, because Calso reads your website and Google listing first. Nothing is charged until you choose a plan. To undo it, turn call forwarding off.
From the Calso Directory
When people look you up
46%
of 1,114 Google visits to pages in the Food & drink group came while the business was closed
The visit figure counts Google visits to business pages in the Calso Directory from Saturday 24 to Monday 26 October 2026, set against each business's listed hours in its own state's time. There were too few visits to bakeries' pages alone to quote, so it is the figure for the wider Food & drink group. It was a weekend-heavy sample, so read it as a sign of when people look businesses up, not a rule for every week. Each of those visits was someone who might have called.
Your directory listing needs no account. Calso, the phone answerer, is a separate paid service.
