This is the best summary I could come up with:
DoorDash is launching a new answering service for restaurants that could put you on the phone with AI when ordering takeout or delivery.
The answering service is supposed to pick up every phone call that restaurants receive, making it easier for staff to manage takeout orders while juggling in-person customers.
Meanwhile, callers who have ordered from the restaurant before will get the chance to “quickly reorder their favorite meal.”
“DoorDash is committed to collaborating with restaurant partners to best identify how to support their needs, as a one-size-fits-all approach for phone ordering capabilities isn’t realistic,” DoorDash spokesperson Trent Hodson tells The Verge.
If a customer encounters an issue that neither AI nor the live agent can help with, Hodson adds that it will be “escalated to a store for additional support.”
It doesn’t seem like the service is widely available to restaurants just yet, as DoorDash says only “select operators” can use it for now.

The whole reason i use DoorDash (& other alt.s), is because they let me take my time and check the options i want. Versus having to say all the different options to my meal, and risk having my order taken wrong.
And ffs we all just love to talk to the current crop of robots all these corporations put up as a block to getting in touch with anyone with a pulse.
