Atlas Restaurant Group Improves Caller Experience Across Locations Using PolyAI and Sangoma Communications Solution

The Customer
Atlas Restaurant Group began in 2010 in Baltimore, Maryland. Since then, the group has grown into a collection of restaurant, bar, and entertainment concepts across the country.
Business Challenges
- Overwhelmed phone lines: High call volume led to long waits, missed calls, and inconsistent experiences across 22 locations.
- AI call handling needed: The customer wanted PolyAI to manage common inquiries and integrate with their existing CommUnity system.
- SIP registration alignment: The teams needed to confirm the right way to register PolyAI’s SIP endpoints within CommUnity.
- Multi-location needs: Each restaurant required its own greeting, logic, and routing.
Solutions From Sangoma
With help from their IT partner, Atlas Restaurant Group integrated PolyAI into Sangoma Communication Solution across 22 locations using only built-in platform features. The setup included:
- PolyAI connected through two SIP endpoints: Ensures the AI stays available by switching between PolyAI’s primary and secondary data centers.
- A shared CommUnity queue for AI call handling: Allows PolyAI to answer multiple calls at the same time, even during busy hours.
- Location-specific call tagging: Each restaurant flow sets the CallerID Name so PolyAI greets callers correctly and loads the right profile.
- Standard SIP transfers back into CommUnity: Lets PolyAI move callers to the right extension, ring group, or voicemail based on what they say.
- Voicemail fallback: Guarantees callers reach the restaurant even if all AI endpoints go offline.
The Results
- Natural, human-like call handling: PolyAI greeted callers by the correct restaurant name, answered detailed questions, and completed common requests like lost-and-found, large-party reservations, and catering inquiries without waiting for staff.
- Consistent service across 22 sites: Each location maintained its own logic, branding, and routing—while sharing one unified integration.
- Fully redundant AI answering system: Dual data center failover ensured near-perfect reliability and uptime.
- Scalable and repeatable integration model: This setup gives the customer a clear blueprint they can use to roll out the same AI-driven call handling at any new location.
