Friday Night Chaos

At 8 PM on a Friday, the kitchen of Biryani Blues is a beautiful, fragrant war zone. The air is thick with the scent of fried onions and saffron. The staff is moving in a frantic blur—packing bags, shouting orders, and juggling Zomato tablets. In this chaos, the phone is the enemy. Every ignored ring was a family of four ordering from a competitor. They were losing ₹50,000 every weekend just by not picking up.

The Upselling Engine

We deployed an Open Claw agent that answers on the first ring. It doesn't sound like a machine; it sounds like a professional host who has all the time in the world. But more importantly, it never forgets to upsell.

Customer: "I want two Chicken Dum Biryanis."

Agent: "Got it. Typically people order the Double Ka Meetha with that—it's fresh today. Want me to add one for ₹150?"

The upsell conversion rate on phone orders jumped from 4% to 22% almost overnight. Humans forget the script when they’re stressed; the agent thrives on it.

Perfect Synchronization

The agent is connected directly to the POS system. It punches the order in and prints the Kitchen Order Ticket (KOT) automatically. The staff doesn't even know a call occurred until the ticket appears on the counter. The phone has been silenced, the revenue has spiked, and the cardamom-scented chaos is now perfectly synchronized.

"Humans forget to upsell when they're stressed. The machine never forgets that a Biryani is lonely without a Double Ka Meetha."
