Trial an AI phone agent at a few locations before rolling it out
A plant-based burger chain tested an AI phone agent at three locations with 23 custom answers per site, covering hours, addresses and parking. All three went live within two weeks.
Reported results
The source reports 245 calls handled and 20 hours saved in the first month across the trial sites.
The source reports 94% of surveyed callers found it helpful and a 5x return.
Go live and measure calls handled, hours saved and caller feedback for a month.

⚠️ Watch out
A pilot month can include novelty effects; keep measuring after rollout.
