Dial A Pizza:
The current pizza ordering process depends on live agents to take orders manually. This process has several shortcomings, especially during the peak times like Friday evenings, weekends etc. During the peak times, the agents have tough time answering all the incoming calls. Few customers are kept on hold while taking the orders from other customers but in such cases, about 25% of people simply hang-up. Also, the agents often do not try to cross sell especially when they have people waiting and some agents simply do not handle the customers well over the phone. All these issues result in loss of sizeable revenue for the business. With an automated IVR solution, these shortcomings can be effectively handled.
Dial a Pizza is an advanced IVR application which facilitates end-to-end pizza ordering for callers. The application is seamlessly integrated with the POS so that the orders can be directly sent to the work queue without any manual intervention. Additionally, the system is integrated with popular merchant account providers so that the credit card can be billed while the customer is on the phone.
