Calculator
Punch in your numbers and see what the phone rack is quietly costing you. Honest defaults, adjustable to your venue.
Most Australian hospitality venues miss between 25% and 50% of inbound calls during service — and each missed call is a real booking, a real order, or a real table. This calculator gives you a weekly and annual cost estimate based on your venue's own numbers.

A missed call isn't just the lost call — it's the lost booking plus the caller who goes to the restaurant that picked up. If your average booking spends $75 and you miss 15 calls a week where even a third would have converted, that's roughly $375 a week or $19,500 a year of revenue walking across the road. The phone is still the highest-intent marketing channel your venue runs; losing it is disproportionately expensive.
Miss rates vary enormously by venue type and service period, and the honest answer is that we cannot tell you yours. You can. Count the missed calls on your handset over one busy week and use that number below. If your team genuinely answers every call during service, you are either very small or unusually well staffed on the phone.
Calso picks up, 24/7, in an Australian voice, with your menu and venue details already loaded. Callers do not go to voicemail, do not get bounced to a staff member mid-service, and do not hang up to ring the venue down the road. Bookings and messages land in the Calso dashboard and the caller gets a confirmation SMS. We are early enough that we will not quote you an improvement figure we cannot yet stand behind.
Get started and we'll show you the same numbers with your actual venue data — with a path to start recovering them in the first week.
