More direct orders.
Fewer interruptions.
One simple system.

Your phone cannot queue hungry customers

When the line is engaged, the order usually goes somewhere else.

During a busy service, your team has to choose between answering the phone and serving the customers already in front of them.

An illustrative service — the shape of a rush, not customer data.

Your main call still goes to your team. Only callers who would otherwise hear an engaged tone are routed to OrderRing by default.

The night it changes

Friday, 7:42pm. Nobody heard an engaged tone.

Three callers at once. Your counter queue six deep. Nobody had to choose between them — the first caller got your team, the other two got a warm voice that knew your menu, read their orders back, and put two more tickets on the rail. You found out it happened from the printer, not from an apology.

Big chains have call centres. You have OrderRing.

Whatever you sell

It learns your menu.
Not a category.

There is no template to pick and nothing to squeeze your menu into. Your items, your wording, your prices and your choices are what the line is taught — including the ones your regulars ask for by a name that is on nobody else’s menu.

  • Pizza
  • Kebabs
  • Burgers
  • Fish & chips
  • Indian
  • Chinese
  • Fried chicken
  • Mexican
  • Wraps

You decide when AI answers

Keep your live operator.
Add capacity when the line is busy.

OrderRing starts as an overflow service, so it does not replace the way you already handle normal call volume. The owner can change the policy whenever the business needs it.

DEFAULT

01

Catch calls when the line is busy

Your phone rings normally and your team answers the first customer. If another caller would get an engaged tone, OrderRing answers that call immediately.

Your team keeps normal calls. OrderRing catches the ones they can’t.
OWNER CONTROLLED

02

Answer every call

Switch the policy when you want OrderRing to become your first line of answer, handling every incoming ordering call and multiple callers at once.

Useful for peak periods, staff shortages or a fully automated phone service.

A smoother way to take telephone orders

OrderRing answers.
Your kitchen gets one clear ticket.

STEP 01

The call is routed

An engaged caller reaches OrderRing automatically. In answer-all mode, every caller comes straight through.

STEP 02

The order is checked

OrderRing uses your approved menu and prices, confirms every choice and reads the complete basket back.

STEP 03

Payment stays simple

Offer card payment by secure link, or accept cash for collection or delivery under the rules you set.

STEP 04

Your kitchen gets the ticket

The confirmed order prints clearly in your kitchen, ready for your team to prepare.

Built specifically for telephone orders

One focused system for recovering
the calls your team
cannot answer.

Routing

OrderRing Overflow

Catches the calls that would have hit an engaged tone, or answers every call when you switch it to. It can handle several callers at once and reads every basket back.

Telephone

OrderRing Voice

Takes the caller through your approved menu, handles changes, confirms prices and reads the complete telephone order back before it is accepted.

Kitchen

OrderRing Print

Sends accepted telephone orders to one dedicated kitchen printer, with clear tickets, automatic retries and an alert if the printer goes offline.

Owner

OrderRing Control

Lets you choose overflow or answer-all mode, pause telephone ordering, extend wait times, mark items sold out and change payment rules. Every AI-handled call stays in one daily record.

Optional separate website service

We can build it separately.

Two orders, two channels, one rail. The only line that differs is the source — and the kitchen never has to care which it was.

OrderRing itself is a telephone-order recovery service. A website is not required and is not bundled into the subscription. If your business needs one, we can separately quote for a branded website with online ordering and send those orders to the same kitchen printer.

Separate build and hosting quote£0 OrderRing commission or per-order feeTelephone and website tickets use the same printer

Payment-provider charges still apply to card transactions. Website support, hosting and optional services are agreed separately.

The lost-order calculator

See what unanswered calls
could be worth to your business.

Use your own figures to estimate the telephone-order demand that may currently be going elsewhere.

Use a typical busy evening rather than your quietest day.

Use your normal phone-order value, not your largest order.

Not every missed caller would have ordered, so keep this realistic.

This estimate uses only the figures you enter. It is a planning guide, not a promise of recovered revenue. With OrderRing live, answered calls and completed orders can be measured directly. For scale, the ticket also shows how many orders at your average value equal the £99 Flex monthly fee — whether OrderRing captures them for you is measured after installation, never promised before it.

That is the published price as a day rate — Flex at £99 a month, Fixed at £199 (£6.54 a day), and Command at £399 when you want the spare printer and the quarterly visit as well. Everything included, no commission on your orders.

Built for the pressure of service

You stay in control
of every telephone order.

And your customers always know. OrderRing introduces itself as an AI assistant on every call — in the first sentence, no tricks, no fake names. Callers who would rather speak to a person can simply ring back and reach your team as they always have. Callers who just want their order taken get served in seconds instead of hearing an engaged tone. You are not replacing your team. You are refusing to turn customers away.

Your prices stay your prices

Every item, deal and total comes from your approved menu. OrderRing cannot invent a product, discount or delivery charge.

Every telephone order is read back

The basket, options and total are repeated before anything reaches your kitchen. Customers can correct mistakes before confirming.

Allergy questions stop safely

Answers use only the allergen information you have approved. If the information is not clear enough, automation stops instead of guessing.

No ticket, no confirmation

A customer is only told the order is accepted after OrderRing has taken it and the ticket has printed in your kitchen.

Card payments stay secure

Customers never read card details over the phone. Payment happens on a secure hosted page designed for fast mobile checkout.

Your customers remain yours

There is no marketplace brand between you and your customer, and no percentage commission taken from the value of each telephone order.

From first conversation to live service

Installed carefully.
Proved before service.

OrderRing does not go live on assumption. Your routing, approved menu, payment rules and kitchen printer are checked against an agreed launch checklist first.

  1. 01Fit check

    Review busy-call patterns, telephone setup, delivery rules and the kitchen environment.

  2. 02Menu approval

    Configure only the products, modifiers, prices and allergen information you approve.

  3. 03Install

    Fit the dedicated printer, configure routing and confirm the required connectivity.

  4. 04Rehearse

    Test collection, delivery, payment, an awkward order — and what happens when the printer fails.

  5. 05Monitored launch

    Start with the agreed answering policy, inspect results and adjust before expanding use.

Launch gateNo live caller is told an order is accepted until the agreed end-to-end tests have passed.

Kevin Mackay, founder of OrderRing
Kevin Mackay · Founder

OrderRing was founded by Kevin Mackay and is launching first with independent takeaways and restaurants across Norfolk. Kevin will learn how your business operates, configure your menu, install the printer and make sure OrderRing fits the way you serve customers.

You get a named person who knows your setup, not a generic support queue, and direct launch support while your team gets used to it.

Your advantage: personal setup, a direct line to the founder and a system configured around your business.

Where we install

Set up in person.
Across Norfolk,
by the founder.

Kevin visits, learns how your kitchen runs, configures your menu and proves the printer before a single caller reaches the line. Norfolk first, because that is where he can be in your shop the same week rather than the same month.

BOOK A DEMONSTRATION

Tell Kevin about your business.

A demonstration is a conversation, not a commitment: no subscription starts and no payment is taken. Kevin will call you back to arrange a time that suits your service.

This requests your preferred time; it does not create an automatic calendar reservation. Kevin will confirm availability with you personally.
