## What Nike does
- 🍲 **Takes complete orders** — dishes, portion sizes, spice level ("Mild, medium, or proper Nigerian hot?"), pickup or delivery with address capture, then confirms with a `KIT-XXXXXX` order number and prep time
- 📖 **Answers menu questions** — searches the live menu in the database, quotes real prices and descriptions; never invents dishes
- 🔎 **Checks order status** — by order number or caller's phone, with time-remaining estimates
- 😔 **Resolves complaints** — empathetic intake, `K234-` ticket numbers, 2-hour team callback promise
- 🌙 **After-hours pre-orders** — outside 9 AM–9 PM Central, takes pre-orders queued for opening instead of losing the call
- ☎️ **Transfers to a human** — warm transfer to the manager's direct line on request or escalation
- 🚫 **Never guesses on allergens** — ingredient-safety questions become kitchen callbacks, not improvised answers
- 📤 **Outbound calls** — order-ready notifications and follow-ups via API, CLI, or batch CSV
- 📧 **Emails every call** — transcript, summary, duration, and recording link to the kitchen inbox
## AI-first call flow (Setup B)
The restaurant's existing phone number **forwards unconditionally** to Nike's Twilio number — customers keep dialing the number they know, Nike answers 100% of calls, and the kitchen phone stops interrupting cooking.
