Agent PennyTo-Go OrdersProduct

Chapel Hill, N.C. — Virnika introduced Agent Penny, an AI phone agent built to help restaurants take accurate to-go orders without pulling staff away from guests in the dining room.

Penny can answer calls, guide guests through menu questions, collect order details, and send structured information to the restaurant team. The agent is built for the everyday realities of restaurant operations, including rush periods, changing menus, and guest follow-up questions.

For operators, Penny creates a more consistent phone ordering experience while giving teams a way to recover orders that might otherwise be missed when the restaurant is busy.

"Every missed phone call can mean a missed order or a frustrated guest. Penny gives restaurants a dependable front line for one of their most important channels."

Cameron Long, Co-Founder and CRO of Virnika
