Convert voice-based orders into structured data, automatically update inventory levels, and alert managers when stock runs low.

Workflow Steps

1

Otter.ai

Record and transcribe voice orders

Use Otter.ai to record voice orders from drive-thru or phone calls. The AI will automatically transcribe the audio into text, capturing customer requests, special instructions, and order details.

2

OpenAI GPT-4

Structure order data from transcription

Process the Otter.ai transcription through GPT-4 to extract structured order information: items ordered, quantities, modifications, customer info, and total order value. Format as JSON for database entry.

3

Airtable

Log order and update inventory counts

Automatically create a new order record in Airtable and update inventory levels by subtracting ordered quantities. Include timestamps, customer data, and order totals for reporting.

4

Slack

Send low inventory alerts

When inventory levels drop below predefined thresholds, automatically send alerts to the management Slack channel with item names, current quantities, and suggested reorder amounts.
