Frequently asked questions
Does Maple work with Chowbus POS?
Yes. Maple answers the call, takes the order item by item with modifiers, and writes it straight into Chowbus — nobody re-keys a ticket during a rush. It handles unlimited calls at once, so several callers on a Friday night are all answered on the first ring.
How do phone orders reach my Chowbus POS?
Maple writes the order into Chowbus and your kitchen workflow once the caller confirms it, with items, modifiers, and totals attached, so phone orders and counter orders arrive in the same queue.
How long does it take to set up Maple with Chowbus?
Setup takes minutes, not weeks. Maple's team connects your Chowbus account, loads your menu, and tunes the agent live before it goes on your line. There is no hardware to install and no contract to sign.
How much does Maple cost for a Chowbus restaurant?
Maple Voice starts at $150 a month, or $85 a month billed yearly. Phone ordering into your POS and reservations come with Maple Pro, at $350 a month or $220 a month billed yearly. Minutes and call volume are unlimited and there are no per-minute fees, so your busiest nights cost the same as your quietest ones.
Does Maple speak more than one language?
Yes. Maple speaks multiple languages, so callers can order in the one they are most comfortable with. It also answers hours, location, and menu questions, transfers callers who need a person to your staff, and records and transcribes every call in the dashboard.
