What the phone looks like for a Belfast catering company
Belfast and the wider County Antrim has a population of around 630,000, built on technology, healthcare and a strong construction sector. That produces a lot of phone calls, and for a catering company working across the Cathedral Quarter, Ballyhackamore and Lisburn Road most of them arrive at the exact moment nobody can pick up.
Event catering is booked on availability and the first caterer who confirms the date usually wins it.
Callwise answers on your own 028 number. Customers ring the number they already have, it is answered on the first ring by something that sounds like a person, and the job is booked into your diary before the caller has thought about trying anybody else.

Belfast catering companies ask us
Do we keep our 028 number?
Yes. Your existing 028 number stays exactly as it is and keeps ringing your phones. Calls only reach the assistant when nobody picks up, or at the hours you choose, so nothing about how Belfast customers reach you changes.
Do you work with catering companies outside Belfast?
Yes. There is nothing local about how it works, so Belfast and everywhere across County Antrim is covered the same way, along with the rest of the UK. The local part is your number and your customers, and both stay yours.
We are always at events. Who answers then?
Nobody, and Saturday is both your busiest event day and a common enquiry day. Those enquiries are worth thousands each.
Can it quote per head?
From your menus, yes, which is enough to qualify the enquiry before you spend time on a proposal.
Will it record dietary requirements?
Yes, and repeat them back, so they reach your kitchen accurately.
Hear it answer, then decide
Ring it and ask what a Belfast customer would ask. It is the same assistant your callers would get, so if it does not convince you on the phone it will not convince them either.
