How CallJolt Routes Takeout Orders to Your Kitchen or Online System

Takeout and delivery orders represent 30% or more of many restaurants' revenue. When these orders come through third-party platforms, restaurants pay 15-30% in commissions. When orders come through direct phone calls, commission is zero. CallJolt makes your phone takeout channel reliable and efficient by answering every order call instantly and routing the order to your kitchen through your preferred system — POS integration, online ordering platform, or direct kitchen display notification.

Takeout Order Flow

When a caller requests takeout, CallJolt guides them through the ordering process. For restaurants with online ordering systems, AI can direct callers to place their order digitally for kitchen accuracy. For phone-only ordering, AI captures the complete order with all modifications and special requests, then sends it to your kitchen team via your preferred notification method.

Order Routing Options

• Direct to POS system for integrated kitchen ticket printing
• To online ordering platform for self-service completion
• Via text message to kitchen manager for manual entry
• Via email with complete order details and pickup time
• Integration with your existing order management workflow
• Custom routing based on order type and time of day

Commission Savings Math

A restaurant doing $15,000 per month in takeout through delivery platforms pays $2,250 to $4,500 in commissions. If CallJolt shifts 40% of that volume to direct phone orders, the restaurant saves $900 to $1,800 per month. CallJolt's monthly cost is paid for multiple times over by commission savings alone — before counting the additional takeout orders captured from answered calls.
