Loman AI Partners with SpotOn to Automate Restaurant Phone Orders

Loman AI partners with SpotOn to automate restaurant phone orders. Loman AI, a leading voice AI phone answering platform for restaurants, has partnered with SpotOn, a top restaurant technology provider, to bring AI-powered phone automation directly to SpotOn POS users. This collaboration turns a longstanding operational bottleneck the restaurant phone into a 24/7 revenue-generating channel, allowing operators to capture every opportunity while reducing front-of-house stress. Through this integration, restaurants using SpotOn can now deploy Loman's AI voice agent to manage inbound calls around the clock. The system answers calls instantly, takes orders, books reservations, securely processes payments, addresses guest inquiries, and integrates seamlessly with the restaurant's POS system. As a result, restaurants eliminate missed calls during peak hours, improve order capture rates, and ensure no revenue is lost due to understaffing or high call volumes. For SpotOn operators, the benefits are clear and substantial. They include: * 24/7 call answering with zero hold time * Automated order and reservation handling * Elimination of missed calls during busy periods * Higher inbound order capture and increased average order value * Reduced pressure on front-of-house staff * Enhanced guest experiences through consistent, instant service * Scalable handling for promotions, events, and peak hours * Seamless integration into existing workflows "The phone is still one of the biggest revenue channels in restaurants, and it's been broken for years," said Christian Wiens, Founder and CEO of Loman AI. "This partnership with SpotOn gives operators a real solution. Calls get answered instantly, orders get captured, reservations get booked, and teams can focus on hospitality instead of juggling ringing lines. It's a direct upgrade to revenue, operations, and guest experience." Moreover, this collaboration allows SpotOn restaurants to modernize their guest communication layer, scale service without increasing labor costs, and safeguard revenue during peak demand using AI automation. "Our goal is to give restaurants tech that actually makes the shift easier," said Bryan Solar, Chief Product Officer of SpotOn. "Every call is revenue on the line. With Loman, operators keep the phone from becoming a bottleneck, protect peak-hour sales, and free up the team to move faster on the floor." By integrating AI-powered voice solutions into daily operations, SpotOn restaurants can now transform customer interactions into efficient, revenue-generating opportunities, enhancing both operational efficiency and guest satisfaction.

SpotOn and Visa Direct Enable Fast, Seamless Payouts for Tipped Employees

SpotOn and Visa Direct enable fast, seamless payouts for tipped employees. SpotOn, the leading restaurant management system trusted by independent restaurants nationwide, today announced its collaboration with Visa, a global leader in digital payments, to implement Visa Direct. With Visa Direct integrated into SpotOn's DayCheck solution, restaurant owners can simplify tip payouts and cash flow, while employees gain rapid access to their earnings through Visa's trusted payment network, helping boost satisfaction, retention and financial control. "Independent restaurants are under pressure to do more with less, and that includes finding ways to support their teams," said Doron Friedman, Chief Innovation Officer at SpotOn. "By working with Visa to bring Visa Direct into DayCheck, we're giving operators a way to simplify tip payouts and cash flow, while empowering employees with the flexibility to access their earnings rapidly. It's a win-win that strengthens both restaurants and the people who power them." With SpotOn Teamwork and DayCheck, enabled by Visa Direct's payment capabilities, operators can skip manual calculations, cash handling, and delayed payouts.

Behind the scenes, Astra powers seamless, rapid payouts enabling SpotOn to move tip funds without requiring prefunding or manual cash handling. Astra's enterprise-grade payments infrastructure manages everything from initiation to settlement, with automated treasury functions that reduce operational friction and help operators elevate their employee experience. This digital-first process reduces administrative burdens for owners and helps them stand out as employers of choice.
