After hours

How to stop losing customers after business hours

You lock up and go home, but the phone keeps ringing: a leak at 9 PM, a catering question on Sunday, a car that won't start in the morning.

"We are currently closed" is a dead end

A closed message tells the caller to try again later. Many will not wait. They call the next business that picks up, and by morning the job is gone.

A real answer at night and on weekends

With Onda, calls you don't pick up forward to your AI front desk at any hour. The AI says it is your business's AI assistant, asks what the caller needs and takes their name, number and details. It can share your hours from your shop notes. It does not promise a time. It tells the caller your team will call back.

You decide what can wait

You don't have to keep your phone in your hand all evening. Each lead comes by email within seconds, and urgent ones, like an active leak, are flagged Priority. If you offer emergency service, you can decide right then whether to go out. If not, it waits for the morning.

Start the morning with a list

• Morning summary. One email with yesterday's calls, so the night's leads are in one place.
• Evening recap. Before you close, one email with recent callers you haven't marked done yet. Tap Call or Done.
• Bookings with Onda Plus. If you connect your Google Calendar, Onda can offer open times and book the one the caller picks. You get a Booked email and confirm with the caller.

Hear a sample call

In these sample calls, the caller is also an AI voice, on a real phone call. Clips are shortened: phone numbers and addresses were removed, and some pauses were trimmed. Names are made up.
