Talk through the details ↗
Does it work like a normal walkie-talkie?
The interaction is push-to-talk, but audio travels over an internet connection. It is not a radio service and does not provide offline voice coverage.
Can a manager speak to different sections?
Yes. Authorised supervisors have controls for channels 1–6. Agree your channel use with the team during setup.
Can staff replay a missed message?
Yes. Recent transmission history supports playback with sender identity and timestamps. The available history depends on retention settings.
Will it work with our existing headsets?
We’ll check your exact phones, browsers, headsets and network. Audio routing and background behaviour depend on the device, so they should be verified in your venue.
What does the free trial include?
The first 50 restaurants are invited to trial selected app access free. We’ll confirm availability, terms and any separate provider usage costs before setup.
