What a missed call costs

Most people who don't get an answer call the next number on the list.

40%

of calls to a small service business arrive outside office hours — nights, weekends, lunch.

1 job

One missed job is usually worth more than a month of this. That is the whole arithmetic.

100%

of calls answered, taken down completely, and in your inbox before you call back.

The first figure is the industry range for after-hours call volume; the rest is just what the receptionist does.

How it works

Three steps, and then it just answers.

We build it around your business, you break it in before anyone else hears it, and then it works your line.

  1. 01

    We interview you

    Twenty to thirty minutes about the business: what you do, where you go, who answers for what, and every question your callers actually ask.

  2. 02

    We build and you test it

    We write your receptionist, you call it and try to break it for a few days, and we fix whatever you find. Nobody else hears it until you are happy.

  3. 03

    It answers your line

    Forward your number, all day or after hours only. Every call comes back to you as a summary with the recording. Your number never changes.

What it does

A front desk that never goes home.

Answers around the clock

Every call or after hours only — your choice. No hold music, no voicemail, no ringing out.

English and Spanish

It follows whichever language the caller starts in, and switches mid-call if they do.

Takes the whole job down

Name, number, address, what they need, how urgent — with the right follow-up questions for your trade.

Puts a person on

Warm transfer to whoever you choose, with a spoken summary first. Urgent only, or business hours only — your rules.

Summaries in your inbox

Who called, what they needed, their number, and a link to the recording — the moment the call ends.

Works on your number

Forward the line you already have. Nothing on your trucks or your signs has to change.

Who builds it

A family company in New Jersey.

Barralaga Capital is run by one family. We build software, and this is the part of it we use ourselves — the receptionist answers our own family's business every day.

That is also why we don't sell it as a sign-up form. We interview you, build it around how you actually work, and manage it after it goes live. When your prices or your people change, you tell us and we change it.

Honesty, family, service. In that order.

“We don't sell what we don't use. Our own line is answered by one of these.”
Carlos Barralaga
Founder, Barralaga Capital
