No voicemail on a Friday
Ordero takes several calls at the same time, so the rush does not end in a busy signal. Forward every call, or only the ones your staff cannot pick up.
New Jersey
AI phone ordering for New Jersey restaurants.
Ordero answers your restaurant’s phone in your name, takes the order from your real menu and sends it to your kitchen, in English, Spanish, Korean and five more languages. For pizzerias, delis, bakeries and family restaurants from Bergen County to Cape May.
Built for how New Jersey orders.
New Jersey is one of the country’s densest restaurant markets. The National Restaurant Association counts 20,553 restaurant locations and 366,400 restaurant and foodservice jobs in the state, and $40.4 billion in restaurant and foodservice sales in 2025. The phone still rings hardest when the kitchen is busiest.
Callers in their own language
About a third of New Jerseyans speak a language other than English at home. Ordero speaks English, Spanish, Korean, Hindi, Arabic, Turkish, German and French, and switches when the caller does.
No commission on orders
Delivery apps charge New Jersey restaurants a share of each order. A call to your own line, answered by Ordero, carries no commission: a $40 order stays $40.
Honest about recording
New Jersey lets one party to a call record it. Ordero still tells every caller that the call may be recorded and that it is an automated assistant.
Your hours, Eastern Time
Ordero knows your opening hours and tells callers when you open next. Each day’s calls are counted midnight to midnight in your restaurant’s time zone.
A person when they ask
A catering order, a complaint, a delivery gone wrong: Ordero passes the call to your staff whenever a caller asks for a person.

Questions from New Jersey restaurants
Does Ordero work for restaurants anywhere in New Jersey?
Yes. Ordero works for restaurants anywhere in New Jersey, and anywhere else in the United States. It runs over the phone number you already have, with each day counted in your restaurant’s time zone.
Do I need a new phone number?
No. You keep the number on your menus, your boxes and your Google listing, and forward it to your Ordero line, all the time or only when your staff cannot pick up.
Is it legal to record restaurant phone calls in New Jersey?
New Jersey lets a party to a call, or someone with one party’s consent, record it, according to the Reporters Committee for Freedom of the Press (N.J. Stat. Ann. §§ 2A:156A-3, -4). Telling callers at the start is still the best practice, and Ordero’s greeting does. This is general information, not legal advice.
Which languages can my callers use?
English, Spanish, Turkish, German, French, Arabic, Korean and Hindi. Ordero switches when the caller does. Chinese is not among them yet, so a caller who prefers it is best served by your staff: Ordero passes the call to a person whenever the caller asks.
How much does Ordero cost for a New Jersey restaurant?
The same as anywhere: $500 a month with 100 calls a day included, $750 with 225 or $1,000 with 300. Extra calls are $0.55, $0.50 or $0.45. Setup is $299 once and free on annual plans, the first month is half price, and there is no commission on orders.
Does Ordero work with Clover?
Yes. Clover is rolling out now: Ordero brings your categories, items, sizes, options and prices over in one click, and only reads from Clover. Square and Stripe are next. See Integrations.
