How we compare

Veloci vs the alternatives

vs
Toast

Toast upselling is limited to in-store POS prompts shown to staff. Veloci's AI upselling works on every channel including phone and WhatsApp where staff have no involvement.

vs
Flipdish

Flipdish shows static upsell recommendations on the ordering page. Veloci's suggestions are dynamic β€” generated fresh per order based on cart contents, time of day, and individual customer history.

Common questions

Frequently asked questions

Can I control which items the AI suggests?+

Yes. In the menu editor, you can tag items as 'upsell candidates' and set pairing rules manually. The AI combines your explicit rules with data-driven patterns to generate suggestions.

Does the AI upsell on phone calls?+

Yes. During the AI phone call ordering flow, after the customer confirms their main order the AI naturally suggests a complementary item in a conversational way β€” not a scripted hard sell.

What if a customer always declines upsells?+

Veloci tracks individual customer behaviour. If a customer consistently declines certain categories, the AI reduces those suggestions for that customer and focuses on what they have previously accepted.

How do I see the revenue impact of AI upselling?+

The analytics dashboard has a dedicated upselling revenue report showing how many suggestions were made, how many were accepted, and the total incremental revenue attributed to AI upsells over any period.

Does the AI upsell on WhatsApp and web ordering too?+

Yes. On web ordering, suggestions appear as "You might also like" cards after the customer adds an item. On WhatsApp, the AI sends a conversational prompt. Both are tracked with the same attribution model.
