Run it with your voice · Available

Say it. RoleCall does it.

Owners run the business by voice. Staff get a simpler version that only touches their own work.

Owners and managersDraft and publish the week, decide time off, set pars, hire, push hours to Square.
StaffClock in, count stock, ask the manual, ask for cover, call for help.

Staff get a smaller set. Every action runs with the speaker's own login and role, checked on the server: staff touch only their own timecard, and pay stays hidden.

Order by voice Early access

Customers order by talking, at the kiosk or in your app.

  • At the kiosk. A guest taps Order by voice and says it the way they would at the counter. Sizes, swaps and extras go into the order, and it reads the order back.
  • In your app. A live voice call in the AI Help tab fills the cart the same way.
  • Paying stays a tap. Guests pay on the card reader at the kiosk and tap checkout in the app. Voice never takes the payment.
