Multiple outlets report on an Australian start-up led by serial entrepreneur Stevan Premutico that uses AI to answer restaurant phone calls. The coverage says many eateries miss a large number of inbound calls each year, with one figure cited across sources stating businesses miss more than 25 million phone inquiries annually. Premutico’s company is framed as acting like a “restaurant concierge,” taking calls and handling requests through automated responses. The articles describe the service as intended to improve how restaurants manage enquiries by responding directly when customers call, rather than leaving calls unanswered. The reporting presents the initiative as a way to capture missed opportunities and reduce the impact of call backlogs or unavailable staff. While specific technical details, pricing, rollout timeline, and partnerships are not included in the provided excerpts, all sources describe the same overall concept: an AI-driven phone-answering service designed for restaurants to better respond to customer inquiries.
