Question 1

What is Calso?

Accepted Answer

Calso is an AI business assistant built exclusively for hospitality venues. It handles phone calls, emails, stock ordering, scheduling, marketing, and more autonomously, using your venue's context and your tone of communication.

Question 2

How much does Calso cost?

Accepted Answer

$199/month, flat, with personal onboarding included and no per-seat pricing. Full breakdown at calso.com.au/pricing.

Question 3

Does Calso replace my POS system?

Accepted Answer

No. Calso answers your phone and takes bookings and messages into its own dashboard. It connects to Square and Xero today, and does not write into booking platforms such as Now Book It, OpenTable, SevenRooms or ResDiary. Your existing systems keep doing what they do.

Question 4

How long does Calso take to set up?
