Yes. Sky takes the order details per your setup, confirms them back to the caller, and passes the order through your flow. Menu and availability answers come from the information you publish. ### What happens on a Friday night when everyone calls at once? Every caller gets a first-ring answer; there is no hold queue. Reservations, orders and questions are handled in parallel while your host stand stays with the guests in the room. ### How does Sky answer allergy and dietary questions? From the menu and allergen information you publish, in your words.

Sky speaks 26+ languages natively and can switch mid-call, so a reservation made in Spanish lands in your booking system the same as one made in English. ### What happens when two parties call at the same time? Both calls get answered on the first ring. There is no hold music and no queue, so a Friday-night surge reads as answered calls on the audit trail, not missed ones.
