Front Office AI · Grocery & Drug

ZANUS FRONT OFFICE FOR GROCERY & DRUG — AI PHONE

The store line and the pharmacy line, answered. From the first ring, 24/7.

The AI answers on your menu, in your chosen voices, in up to 40 languages — the 6:50 AM “is the pharmacy open”, the Saturday deli rush, the Thanksgiving-week flood of “are you open”. It answers hours and stock from the data you expose, settles order and pickup status, files refill requests and reads refill status where you authorize it, and transfers pharmacist questions to the pharmacist with the context whispered in. Hang-ups become call-back lists the AI works itself.

Phone — the AI receptionist, call register and live phone system

The real Phone menu: every ring on your number — answered, transferred, transcribed, reviewed.

What it does

The desk stops answering the phone

The store line rings while the associate bags: the AI answers at once, on your menu — no “hold on” that becomes a hang-up.

A pharmacy line that interrupts less

“Is it ready yet?” answered from the status you expose, refill requests filed as cases; the pharmacist is interrupted for pharmacist questions only.

Nights, weekends and holiday weeks

Holiday hours from your approved list, pickup windows booked, order issues filed, vendor messages taken — food-safety reports routed to the on-duty manager.

Programmed by talking. Nothing changes without your yes.

Lisa reads your website, interviews you by voice or by chat — only about what the site does not say — writes every department, and tests it with exam calls before the line opens. Afterwards you change anything by telling her: “in Sales, add: we close at noon on Fridays in August.” A rule can carry dates: “the Christmas greeting until December 27.”

  • Your website is the first interview — you answer only what it does not say
  • Exam calls before the line opens; every real call reviewed afterwards
  • She proposes improvements; you say yes or no. Nothing changes without your yes
  • Keep your existing number and your existing phones
Programmed by talking — the owner tells Lisa what each department may do
From your mobile, tell Lisa what to do with the caller on hold

From your mobile, tell Lisa what to do with the caller on hold

A person who took a call on his mobile presses a key and tells Lisa: “transfer him to Mary”, “take a message”, “send him to voicemail.” The colleague receiving the transfer can say yes, no, voicemail, message, or the name of a department. Callers who drop in the menu are logged as call-back leads with number and path taken.

  • Your whole team works from the phones they already have
  • The administrator holds the first phone: an extension that rings in the browser, with hold, transfer, consult, a voicemail inbox and the AI beside him
  • Every further person who wants a phone of his own inside Front Office is an operator — forwarding a call to someone’s mobile never needs one
  • Hang-ups called back automatically — see Auto-Call below for scheduled calls
Auto-Call — outbound AI calls on your rules: who, when, how many attempts, voicemail policy, transcript

Auto-Call — the AI calls THEM

Not only answering. From an automated event (a due date, a ready order, tomorrow’s appointment), a scheduled funnel or a list you upload, the AI calls your registered contacts and announces your message — or talks as an agent: answers the question, moves the appointment, confirms, collects the missing detail.

  • “Hi Brandon, this is the pharmacy at Maple Street Market: your prescription is ready for pickup.”
  • “Hi Rosa, this is the pharmacy at Maple Street Market: your refill is due. Would you like us to fill it today, and pickup or delivery?”
  • Triggered by automated events, scheduled funnels or lists
  • Announce a message, or act as an agent the shopper can talk back to
  • Call window, attempts, voicemail policy, consent and do-not-call flags — your rules
  • Every call transcribed with its outcome; the AI identifies your business at the start

Scheduled Auto-Call comes inside a solution — see pricing. Calling back the hang-ups is part of AI Phone.

When your people are on the call, the AI is in their ear — AI ASSIST

Your operators work with headsets in the phone panel: outbound from to-do lists (yours, or the ones the AI prepares from hang-ups and follow-ups), inbound from the queue. Flip the AI ASSIST toggle and the AI listens to the live conversation and proposes, in real time, what to say — grounded answers in a side panel, each with its knowledge source named. The operator reads and talks — the AI never speaks into the call.

  • Outbound from operator to-do lists, inbound from the queue — same panel, same knowledge
  • New operators sound experienced on day one; nobody quotes a policy from memory
  • Answers appear while the shopper is still asking — sources shown
  • Same knowledge base as every other channel — one truth
  • Switch it on only for the calls where you want it

Questions, answered

Do we keep our store and pharmacy numbers?

Yes. Your existing numbers stay; each line routes to the AI first, your team first, or any mix by hour — for example, AI on the store line at all hours, pharmacy staff first during pharmacy hours with AI overflow when the counter is busy.

What happens with a clinical or urgent question?

Your rules decide: transfer to the pharmacist with the context whispered in, take a message for the pharmacist, or route a food-safety report to the on-duty manager immediately. The AI never improvises a medical answer, never recommends a product for a symptom and never verifies insurance coverage — it transfers instead of guessing.

Try it free on your own store. 7 days. No credit card.

Give it your website. It learns your company. Then call it, chat with it, e-mail it — and decide. Nothing to install, nothing to cancel.
