The SureCall settings page with cards for answering calls, voice and language, opening hours, payment link, payment and messages

When a customer calls your number or talks to the Order by voice button on your website, the assistant greets them, answers questions about your menu and opening hours, takes the order, and creates a real order in SureTill. Prices always come from your menu on the server.

Settings are per branch. Each branch can use a different voice, language, payment rule and message text.

  • A SureCall number or website widget must be attached to your restaurant. Phone numbers are added, changed or ported by SureTill support. The Number setup card on the page says the same.
  • For Pay first you need Stripe or PayPal connected (see Payment below) and WhatsApp (WaSender) or an SMS gateway connected, so the link can reach the customer.
  • Connect WaSender under Notifications and SMS under Integrations. The page links to both.
  • Set your opening hours (the Opening hours card) so the assistant can tell callers.
  1. Open SureCall and choose the branch at the top of the app.
  2. In Answering calls switch on ‘Answer calls and voice chats’.
  3. Choose what the assistant does: Take orders, or Information only.
  4. Choose how customers pay (see Payment below).
  5. Press Save changes at the top. The button is active only when you changed something.
  6. Ring your number, or use the website widget, and place a test order.
Mode What happens
Automatic Uses Pay first when a payment account and a messaging channel are both connected. Otherwise it uses Pay on pickup, so no order is lost. The line ‘Right now orders use’ shows which one is active. This is the default.
Pay first The caller gets a payment link by message. The kitchen only hears about the order after the customer has paid and staff have accepted it.
Pay on pickup / delivery No link. The order goes straight to the staff popup. The customer pays when they collect or when the rider arrives.

If a payment link cannot be created (no gateway, or the provider refuses), the order falls back to Pay on pickup. The assistant tells the caller they pay on pickup, and staff still see the order. If the link cannot be sent, the assistant reads the link to the caller or asks for another number.

Every phone or website order that needs a decision raises a popup with a sound on admin and POS screens for owners, admins and anyone with POS access. The sound repeats every 8 seconds until someone answers. If several orders wait, the popup shows how many more are queued.

  1. Read the popup: New phone order or New website order, Delivery or Takeaway, customer name and phone, items with add-ons and notes, scheduled time, total.
  2. The badge says Paid online, Pay on delivery or Pay on pickup.
  3. Choose Ready in: 10, 15, 20, 30, 45 or 60 minutes (default 20).
  4. Press Accept & send to kitchen. The order goes to the kitchen screen and a kitchen ticket prints. An order scheduled for later is held and released to the kitchen when its time is near.
  5. Or press Reject, choose a reason (Item sold out, Kitchen is closed, Too busy right now, Cannot deliver to that address) or type your own (at least 2 characters), and press Reject order.
