Inbound: the customer calls

Restaurant pest calls put through before inspection

A cockroach in a restaurant kitchen the week of a health inspection is your most urgent call and your best account. It reaches the commercial service manager in under a minute, with the site and the problem already said.

When it starts

A restaurant, grocery, food plant, warehouse or property manager calls with a problem or a contract question.

What the agent does

Knows the account, takes the site, pest and deadline, and warm-transfers when it's urgent.

What your team gets

The commercial manager on the line with the summary, or an urgent message if nobody's free.

How it works

  1. Knows who's calling

    By the number on the account, or by what they say: a kitchen, a loading dock, a production floor. Contract customers are greeted by business name.

  2. Gets the site and the stakes

    Which location, what they saw and where, and whether an inspection or an audit is coming and when.

  3. Puts urgent ones through

    A warm transfer to the commercial service manager, with a private summary before the caller is connected.

  4. Falls back fast

    If the manager doesn't pick up, an urgent text and email with the site, the pest and the inspection date, and the caller hears when to expect a call.

  5. Books routine service

    Extra visits, a missed monthly service or a new location are booked on the account's regular technician.

  6. Takes new contract enquiries

    A new restaurant asking about monthly service gets a site survey booked with the commercial manager.

Example call

  1. CustomerThis is Marie at Le Petit Four on Rideau. Our cook saw two roaches by the dish pit last night, and we have a city inspection Thursday.
  2. AI agentThanks for calling right away, Marie. Did he see them anywhere else, or just by the dish pit?
  3. CustomerJust there. Under the rack.
  4. AI agentGot it. I'm putting you through to Karim, our commercial manager, now. One moment.
  5. AI agent(privately, to Karim) Le Petit Four, Rideau Street, monthly account. Two roaches under the dish pit rack last night. City inspection Thursday. Connecting.
  6. CustomerHi Karim, yes, it's about Thursday...

After the call: Karim takes the call already knowing the account, the dish pit and the Thursday inspection, and books a technician for the next morning. The call summary is on the account for the inspection binder.

What your team gets

  • Urgent commercial calls warm-transferred with the site and deadline said first
  • An urgent text and email whenever the transfer isn't answered
  • Extra visits booked on the account's regular technician
  • New contract enquiries booked as site surveys
  • A call history on each account for audit and inspection records
Set up with you: The team loads your commercial accounts and sites, sets up a connection to your field-service software and the commercial manager's phone, and agrees with you which calls are urgent and who takes them after hours.

Questions

How does it know a call is commercial?

From the caller's number on the account, or from what they describe. Anyone who mentions a kitchen, food production or an inspection is treated as commercial.

What happens at 11 at night?

It follows your after-hours rules: put through to the on-call commercial tech, or an urgent message with a callback time.

Can it add a visit to a contract?

Yes. It books the extra service on the account and notes whether it's covered by the contract or billed separately, from your terms.
