When Maple Leaf Bistro in Vancouver's Gastown district was struggling with phone order bottlenecks and rising labor costs, owner Sarah Chen knew she needed a solution. Six months after implementing Inputly.AI's voice ordering system, her restaurant has seen a remarkable 30% increase in sales and saved over $4,000 monthly in operational costs.
The Challenge: Overwhelmed Phone Lines and Rising Costs
Like many Canadian restaurants, Maple Leaf Bistro faced mounting challenges that were eating into profits:
-
Missed Orders: During peak hours, 40% of phone calls went unanswered, resulting in lost revenue
-
Order Errors: Manual order taking led to 15% error rate and costly remakes
-
Labor Costs: Dedicated phone staff was costing $3,200/month during peak seasons
-
Limited Hours: Phone orders only available during business hours, missing late-night demand
"We were losing customers every day because we couldn't answer the phone fast enough. During dinner rush, it was chaos. I knew we needed a better solution that wouldn't break the bank."
