VoIP Phone Systems for Restaurants, Pubs, Takeaway Shops

Never Miss a Call, Never Miss a Customer

In the food and drink world, every call counts. A missed call can mean a lost booking, an order that goes elsewhere, or a disappointed regular who couldn’t get through. Today’s customers expect fast, professional service — whether they’re phoning to reserve a table, order a kebab, or simply check your opening hours.

But the reality is different. Old landlines can’t keep up. Mobiles get buried in pockets or drowned out by busy kitchens, bustling bars, and staff constantly on the move. That’s where Plexatalk steps in.

We give restaurants, pubs, and takeaways a smarter way to handle calls: a local landline that forwards to mobiles, voicemail-to-email so you never lose a message, and shared minutes your whole team can use. It’s flexible, professional, and built to keep your business connected — so you never have to choose between running the floor and answering the phone.

Example Setups

Pub in Manchester

Friday nights used to mean constant missed calls — and lost bookings. By adding Plexatalk’s smart call queuing and voicemail-to-email, this Manchester pub reduced missed calls by over 70%. Now, even at peak times, customers either get straight through or leave a quick message that arrives instantly in the manager’s inbox. The result: more tables filled, smoother service, and happier regulars.

Chinese Takeaway in Birmingham

This family-run Chinese takeaway was paying too much for an outdated BT landline — and still missing orders. By switching to Plexatalk, they saved £150 per month and set up a local Birmingham number that routes directly to two mobiles. No more juggling one phone, no more lost orders, just a simple, cost-effective setup that keeps business flowing.

Café in Brighton

Running a café means staff are often away from the counter, serving drinks or helping customers. With Plexatalk linked to the Zoiper app, calls now ring through to mobiles when the landline can’t be picked up. This Brighton café never misses collection orders, even when the shop is busy. A flexible solution that fits perfectly with a small, hands-on team.
