Call Forwarding to Your Cell Phone Is Not a Solution
Many restaurant owners forward calls to their cell phone after hours. But answering restaurant calls during family time, at 11 PM, and on vacation is not sustainable.
Call forwarding to your personal cell phone is the most common workaround restaurant owners use for after-hours calls. It works — technically. But it comes at a personal cost. You answer restaurant calls during family dinners, at bedtime, on weekends, and on vacation. You cannot distinguish personal calls from restaurant calls. And if you miss the call anyway, you are back to square one.
The Personal Cost of Being the Answering Service
Restaurant owners who forward calls to their cell report answering 5-15 calls per evening at home, taking reservation calls during their children's soccer games, and waking up to 3 AM calls from time zones away. The financial cost is zero, but the personal cost is enormous — and you still miss half the calls.
