CallSprout + Toast
Connect Sage, your AI voice agent, to Toast so every caller gets instant answers about your menu, today's specials, and live order status without pulling a single staff member off the floor. Available for Toast.
How CallSprout works with Toast.
Your dining room is loud, your lunch rush is short, and your phone never stops ringing. Callers want to know whether you carry a gluten-free option, what is in a dish, or where their takeout order stands. Right now, answering those calls means pulling a server or host away from a table, putting a guest on hold, and hoping whoever picks up actually knows the answer.
CallSprout fixes that by connecting Sage, your AI voice agent, to your Toast account. Sage reads live menu data and order information directly from Toast through the Toast Orders API, so callers hear accurate, up-to-date answers the moment they ask, around the clock, without a hold queue. Your front-of-house team stays focused on the guests in the room.
This is not a general phone system bolted onto a restaurant. CallSprout is built for businesses where every second of staff attention matters. Sage handles the repetitive inbound questions that eat into that attention, and when a caller needs a human, such as a complaint or a catering inquiry, Sage routes the call on CallSprout's own phone network with a clean summary already in hand. The integration reads from Toast. Available for Toast.
CallSprout and Toast, working together.
What Sage does once your call data flows into the tools you already use.
Sage reads your current Toast menu so callers hear accurate details about dishes, ingredients, modifications, and what is available right now, without anyone checking a clipboard.
Callers ask where their order stands and Sage looks it up directly in Toast, reading back the current status so your staff can stay focused on the dining room and the kitchen.
Sage answers questions about your location, daily specials, and common FAQs you configure in CallSprout, keeping your phone line clear for calls that actually need a person.
Catering inquiries, complaints, and anything else outside Sage's scope get routed to the right staff member through CallSprout's phone network, with a summary of what the caller said already waiting.
Answer every menu question without touching the phone
The most common calls a restaurant receives are also the most interruptive: does the pasta contain dairy, do you still have the short rib special, where is your location. Each one takes thirty seconds to answer and thirty seconds to pull someone away from the work they were doing. At peak volume, that adds up fast.
Sage reads your live Toast menu data and answers menu questions directly, every time, without hold music and without staff involvement. Because the menu data comes from Toast, the answers reflect what you are actually serving today, not a static FAQ someone updated last month. When a caller asks about an item that is no longer available, Sage says so. Accurate answers build trust before the guest even walks in the door.

Order status without pulling anyone off the floor
Takeout and delivery orders come with a wave of follow-up calls: is my order ready, how long will it take, did you get my order. Your staff knows the answer requires checking Toast, which means stopping what they are doing, walking to a screen, and getting back to the caller. During a rush, that friction compounds.
Sage queries Toast directly when a caller asks about their order and reads back the current status, so no one has to leave the line they are working. The caller gets a clear answer in seconds. If the order has a problem or the caller needs to make a change, Sage routes the call to someone who can handle it, with the order context already surfaced.
This is the same principle behind everything CallSprout builds for restaurant and hospitality teams: reduce the phone's claim on your staff without reducing the quality of the answer the caller receives.
Around-the-clock coverage for calls outside your hours
A caller who hits your voicemail at 9 p.m. to ask whether you are open for brunch on Sunday often just moves on to the next result. Sage answers those calls regardless of when they come in, drawing on your menu data from Toast and the hours you configure in CallSprout to give a real answer instead of a recording.
After-hours coverage matters most for catering inquiries, large-party questions, and the growing share of callers who look up a number and call rather than waiting to find your website. Sage captures their name and what they were calling about so your team has a complete record to follow up on the next morning. Nothing falls into the voicemail gap.

A phone line that scales with your busiest moments
A Saturday lunch rush and a Valentine's Day dinner service have the same problem: more inbound calls than your team can answer without degrading the guest experience. Sage absorbs the volume, handling every menu and order question in parallel so your staff is never splitting attention between a table and a phone.
When you need a human, such as a complaint, a large catering quote, or an accessibility request, Sage routes the call through CallSprout's own phone network using the call rules you define during setup. The caller does not bounce through a phone tree. They reach the right person with context, not a cold transfer.
If your restaurant also uses a reservation platform, you can combine this integration with OpenTable, Resy, or SevenRooms. Browse the full integration catalog to see what else Sage connects to.
What this looks like day to day.
Calls stack up while your host is seating a party and your servers are at the point-of-sale. Sage answers every one, handles the menu and order questions automatically, and routes the one caller who needs to speak with a manager, all without anyone leaving what they were doing.
A caller rings at 10 p.m. to ask whether you offer gluten-free pasta and what your Sunday brunch hours are. Sage answers the menu question from your live Toast data and the hours question from your CallSprout settings, captures the caller's name, and leaves your team a clean record for the morning, so a potential guest who might have hung up instead keeps thinking about your restaurant.
A customer calls to ask whether their curbside order is ready. Sage checks Toast and reads back the status in seconds. No one has to step away from prep, the line, or the dining room to make that call happen.

Toast, answered.
- Does CallSprout integrate with Toast?
- Yes. Sage connects to Toast through the Toast Orders API to read your live menu data and order status, so callers get accurate answers about dishes, ingredients, availability, and where their order stands. Book a call and we will get you set up.
- Can Sage take reservations or place orders through Toast?
- Sage answers questions about your menu and order status but does not place orders or book reservations through Toast. For reservation handling, ask about our OpenTable, Resy, or SevenRooms integrations.
- What happens when a caller asks something Sage cannot answer from Toast?
- Sage routes the call to the right person on your team through CallSprout's phone network and includes a summary of what the caller said, so the handoff is clean and the caller does not have to repeat themselves.
- Does Sage work when my restaurant is closed?
- Yes. Sage answers calls around the clock. After hours it draws on your Toast menu data to answer menu questions, and on your CallSprout settings for hours and basic FAQs. It captures caller details so your team has a complete record to follow up on when you reopen.
- Will Sage always have current menu information?
- Sage reads from your live Toast account, so the answers it gives reflect your current menu rather than a static copy. If an item is 86'd, Sage's answers update accordingly. Hours are managed in your CallSprout settings.
- Will Sage disclose that it is an AI?
- Yes. Sage identifies itself as an AI voice agent and announces that the call is being recorded at the start of every call, in line with two-party consent requirements in the states that require it.
- Do we need to replace Toast or buy new phone hardware?
- No. Sage works alongside Toast, not instead of it, and CallSprout runs in the cloud on the devices your team already uses. There is no new hardware to buy and nothing to rip out of your current setup.
The call data and ordering patterns Sage captures are signals worth acting on beyond the phone. Our sister company Ereos builds custom AI for hospitality and multi-unit operators on its Watchtower platform, connecting the systems you already run to surface the trends your team does not have time to find manually.
When the insight is in your operations data, not just your phone line
CallSprout keeps your phone answered and your staff focused on the floor. When you want AI that reads across your Toast data, your ordering history, and your call patterns to surface which menu items drive the most questions, which locations get the most after-hours inquiries, or where your phone volume and your ticket volume diverge, that is what our sister company Ereos builds. Its Watchtower platform connects to the tools you already run and turns that data into decisions your team can act on.
