After-Hours Orders: Turning Late-Night Missed Calls Into Revenue
Unlock new revenue channels even when the lights are off
Many restaurants shut their doors at 10 PM — but your customers don’t shut down their cravings. Phones continue ringing well into the night, with hungry customers trying to place late-night orders. Each unheard ring means lost revenue, disappointed customers, and future business going to competitors.
This dummy case study shows how a single restaurant was quietly losing thousands of dollars every month from after‑hours calls — and how a voice AI like Woqal.ai can turn those missed calls into guaranteed orders.
3-Month After‑Hours Impact (Sample Data)
We reviewed three months worth of data for a small restaurant and found that several orders were lost. Even if we said only 50% conversion rate on orders Orders Lost Revenue (@ $30 AOV) is as follows-
In the month of Jan- $5,580
In the Month of Feb- $5,790
In the Month of Mar- $5,370
What This Means
Over this 3‑month sample period, the restaurant missed out on hundreds of ready‑to‑order customers. These weren’t casual website visitors — these were people who picked up the phone with the clear intent to buy.
- Over 65% of missed revenue events happened when the business was closed.
- These calls represent high‑intent customers who already know what they want.
- Recovering even 50% of these orders would cover the cost of additional staff or technology many times over.
