Question 1

How does AI phone ordering for restaurants work?

Accepted Answer

Cardamom answers your restaurant's phone with a custom AI voice agent trained on your menu. The agent handles the full order — items, modifiers, allergies, special requests — and pushes it straight to your POS like a kitchen ticket. Customers don't get sent to voicemail or wait on hold.

Question 2

How much does Cardamom cost?

Accepted Answer

$299 per location per month, flat. No platform fees, no take-rate, no per-call charges. Unlimited inbound calls, unlimited orders. The same price whether you do 5 calls a day or 500.

Question 3

What POS systems does Cardamom integrate with?

Accepted Answer

Cardamom integrates with Toast, Square, Clover, SpotOn, and OpenTable. We can also send orders via email or SMS for restaurants without a POS.

Question 4

Does the AI agent speak multiple languages?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The agent handles English, Hindi, Spanish, Mandarin, Korean, Marathi, Tamil, and 30+ other languages. It auto-detects the caller's language and responds in kind, so your customers can order in whatever language they're most comfortable with.

Question 5

How is Cardamom different from DoorDash or Uber Eats?

Accepted Answer

Cardamom doesn't take a percentage of your orders. DoorDash and Uber Eats take 15-30% per order. Cardamom is a flat $299/month subscription, so every dollar of revenue stays with you. We're not a delivery platform — we're the AI that answers your phone.

Question 6

Can I try Cardamom before signing up?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Visit trycardamom.com, type your restaurant name, and you'll get a live AI phone agent trained on your menu in under two minutes. No signup required for the demo.
