What the phone looks like for a Brighton catering company
Brighton and the wider Sussex has a population of around 290,000, built on creative industries, tourism and a very high density of independent businesses. That produces a lot of phone calls, and for a catering company working across Hove, Kemptown and Preston Park 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 01273 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.

Brighton catering companies ask us
Do we keep our 01273 number?
Yes. Your existing 01273 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 Brighton customers reach you changes.
Do you work with catering companies outside Brighton?
Yes. There is nothing local about how it works, so Brighton and everywhere across Sussex 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.
Other Brighton businesses we answer for
Hear it answer, then decide
Ring it and ask what a Brighton 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.
