Stop Losing$3,000+ Jobsto Missed Calls
That's less than a coffee ☕
Works with all major carriers & VoIP • No tech skills required • 1-minute setup
Every Missed Call = Money Gone
While you're under the sink or on a ladder, competitors are stealing your jobs
You miss calls during prep—and that wedding goes to the next caterer
You’re on the line with knives and heat, or loading vans. One missed call can cost you a $5,000–$20,000 wedding because the client books whoever answers first.
After-hours calls don’t leave voicemails (they just keep dialing competitors)
Couples and office managers shop at night. If they hit voicemail at 8:30pm, they move on—meaning you lose tomorrow’s tasting request and next month’s corporate lunch contract.
Last-minute changes become emergencies you can’t safely answer
“We need +25 guests.” “Vegan + nut allergy just came in.” “Can you add bartenders?” If you can’t pick up fast, you lose the upsell or the whole event due to uncertainty.

Your AI Receptionist That Never Sleeps
Answers when you can’t (busy, no pickup, offline)
During prep, events, deliveries, or client meetings—SkipCalls catches the call and keeps the lead warm.
Captures event details that actually matter
Date, venue/city, headcount, budget range, service style (drop-off/buffet/plated), dietary restrictions, and timeline—so you can quote fast.
After-hours coverage for “I need a caterer ASAP” calls
Late-night shoppers and last-minute planners get a real conversation, not a voicemail cliff.
Automatic booking for tastings, walkthroughs, and calls
Books a tasting or consult directly onto your calendar based on your availability rules.
Spam + vendor call filtering
Blocks robocalls and filters low-value calls so your phone stops hijacking your kitchen.
Instant summaries you can read between tasks
You get a clean summary, action items, and a full transcript—no more replaying voicemails in a noisy kitchen.
“I used to miss calls while loading the van or during service—then I’d see a text later saying they already booked someone else. SkipCalls caught a last-minute corporate lunch and a $12k wedding inquiry during a Saturday event, and both turned into booked dates. The summaries are clear enough to quote fast without playing voicemail roulette.”

Questions? Answers.
Will this replace my business number?
+
No. People keep calling your existing number. You enable call forwarding so SkipCalls answers only when you can’t (missed calls, busy, offline, or after-hours).
What’s the #1 problem this solves for caterers?
+
Missed calls during prep/service. Catering is a “fixed date” sale—if you don’t respond fast, they book the next caterer who confirms availability.
Can it handle true emergencies like a same-day headcount change or a dietary allergy update?
+
Yes. It can treat those as urgent, collect the exact details (new headcount, timing, restrictions, contact person on-site), and immediately notify you with a clear summary so you can act fast.
Will customers know it’s AI?
+
Most callers assume it’s a human assistant. The voice is natural, and you can customize the greeting and script to match your brand. Optional voice cloning can make it sound like you.
Can it book tastings or consultation calls on my calendar?
+
Yes. SkipCalls can book tastings, walkthroughs, and consult calls based on your availability rules and the info it collects from the caller.
How fast can I set it up?
+
About 60 seconds. Turn on call forwarding and set your greeting + a few catering questions (date, headcount, budget, style, dietary). No hardware. No IT.
Do I need technical skills to use it?
+
No. If you can follow a simple on-screen checklist, you’re done. Most caterers set it up between prep tasks.
What carriers/phone systems does it work with?
+
Any. If your phone line can forward calls, SkipCalls works—no exceptions.
Can it quote prices or promise availability?
+
You control that. You can set minimums and starting ranges, and tell it exactly what it can/can’t commit to. If a request is complex, it collects details and tells the caller you’ll confirm and follow up.
What about texts? A lot of my leads text instead of calling.
+
Call forwarding only forwards calls (carriers don’t forward SMS). If you want AI to handle texts, give out your SkipCalls number as your business line. A common setup is: forward missed calls, then SkipCalls sends a follow-up text so the customer can continue by SMS.
Is this really worth it for a catering business?
+
If SkipCalls helps you win just one small event ($500–$1,500) or one corporate lunch series, it can pay for itself for months (or the entire year). For weddings, a single captured booking can justify years of service.
