Caterers + Google Calendar
The AI receptionist for caterers that writes straight into Google Calendar.
The other caterer answered. You were prepping for tonight's gig.
How it works
Foan checks your Google Calendar for free time and books the appointment directly. Includes the caller's email so they get a real calendar invite, not just a confirmation text.
Why caterers miss calls.
Event bookings die fast. Pricing has to come back same-day.
It's Wednesday, 2pm. An office manager is planning a 200-head company holiday party for December. She's been told she has until end of day Friday to choose a caterer. She's calling three.
You're prepping for tonight's wedding and you've got your head in the cold storage. Phone is in the office, ringing out. By 4pm she's quoted by two and the third (you) hasn't called back. You phone her at 6, she's already accepted a proposal.
That's £8,000 of catering revenue you missed because you were doing the work for last night's booking.
What you get on day one.
-
Every call answered in two seconds. No queue, no missed-call voicemails, no "we'll get back to you tomorrow".
-
Calls flow into Google Calendar automatically. No copy-paste from notepad. Whatever Google Calendar expects, Foan writes.
-
UK phone number included. Take a new line or forward your existing business number. Either way, Foan picks up.
-
Text or WhatsApp the second the call ends. You're on a job, you don't pick up — Foan does the work and tells you what was said.
Ready in 10 minutes.
Plans from £49/mo. Cancel any time. Number forwarding works on the existing line you already pay for.
Frequently asked
Does Foan really work for caterers using Google Calendar?
Yes. Event bookings die fast. Pricing has to come back same-day. Foan answers calls live, qualifies them by asking the questions a caterer would ask, and writes the outcome into your Google Calendar automatically. There's nothing for you to copy across.
How does Foan + Google Calendar compare to hiring a receptionist?
A part-time receptionist costs around £1,800/mo and only covers business hours. Foan picks up 24/7 in two seconds, never misses a call during peak, and starts at £49/mo. Everything ends up in Google Calendar the same way a human assistant would log it — except instantly and without typos.
What if a caller asks a question Foan doesn't know the answer to?
Foan is configured with your business hours, services, prices and FAQs the moment it's set up — we scan your website automatically. For anything genuinely unknown, the agent admits it doesn't know, takes the caller's contact details, and pings you so you can ring back. Better than voicemail, every time.
How quickly can I get this live with Google Calendar?
Under 10 minutes. Sign up, connect Google Calendar via OAuth (one click), pick a UK phone number, point your existing business line at it. Foan starts answering on the next ring.
