What does the unanswered phone cost?

Your numbers, not an industry average — edit them to match your restaurant.

Unanswered during the rush

Bookings at risk every month

AED 60,000

40 calls × 20% unanswered × AED 250 × 30 days. One missed 30-guest private dinner is on top of that.

The busiest phones of the year are the most expensive to miss: during Ramadan, Dubai restaurants' evening revenue runs 30–40% above normal (Syrve MENA, 4.3M orders, 2026) — and the calls peak exactly when your team is on the floor.

Put Onla on yourrestaurant's phone.

Now onboarding the first Dubai restaurants — no setup fee, cancel any month.
