Caterers in Stoke-on-Trent

What the phone looks like for a Stoke-on-Trent catering company

Stoke-on-Trent and the wider Staffordshire has a population of around 370,000, built on ceramics, logistics and a large base of family run trades. That produces a lot of phone calls, and for a catering company working across Hanley, Newcastle-under-Lyme and Longton 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 01782 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.

Questions

Stoke-on-Trent catering companies ask us

Do we keep our 01782 number?

Yes. Your existing 01782 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 Stoke-on-Trent customers reach you changes.

Do you work with catering companies outside Stoke-on-Trent?

Yes. There is nothing local about how it works, so Stoke-on-Trent and everywhere across Staffordshire 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.
