How the front desk works

We run the front desk for

  • Frozen In Time Parlour
  • Elite Alliance Physical Therapy

Four ways to handle the call.

Each one answers the phone. Only one of them books the job and chases the estimate for you.

Voicemail

A homeowner with a problem today does not leave a message. They call the next shop.

Answering service

A person takes a message and sends it to you. You still make the call back, book the job, and chase the estimate.

Self-serve AI tool

You write the script, hook it to your calendar, and fix it when it says the wrong thing. It works on the days you have time to run it.

FlowChainLabs AI Front Desk

Set up for you and run for you. It answers in your name, books into your calendar, texts back the calls you missed, and sends you one page a month. You hear it take your calls before it goes live.

After you sign

What you get after you sign.

Owners who buy phone tools say the help stops once they pay. Here is what you get from us instead.

We do not go quiet.

Once you are live, you get a report every month: calls answered, appointments booked, missed callers texted back and what we changed.

What we sell is what you get.

Before you sign, you see what it answers, what it books and which calls come to you. That is what goes live.

Tested on your calls first.

We run your common calls through it: the after-hours call, the price question, the caller outside your area, the caller who wants a person. You hear it handle your calls before it goes live.

Every call and text on record.

Every call it takes is logged, booked or not, and every text it sends is saved. You can see what happened to each one.

What a garage door front desk has to know that a generic script does not.

The call that costs the most

The spring snaps at 9 PM with the car stuck inside. The first shop that picks up gets the job.

Snapped spring at night with the car stuck inside

Door off track or opener dead, needing a same-day slot while your tech is on another job

The new door estimate you sent, and the homeowner is still comparing

Missed calls while you are under a door with both hands busy

Why Do We Keep Missing Calls at Our Garage Door Company?

A spring snaps, a car is stuck, and the call goes to voicemail. Here is why garage door companies miss calls and what a real fix must do.

Frequently asked questions

Before you switch off voicemail

Does it book into ServiceTitan, Jobber or Housecall Pro?

Pro includes a connection to your existing software. We confirm which booking and customer-record actions your system supports. Core books on your calendar; a direct connection to other software depends on Pro and the access available.

Can it tell a real emergency from a squeaky door?

It asks what you approve: is the car stuck, is the door stuck open, is anyone locked out. Same-day or next available, by the rules you set. Anything else goes to your team with the caller's details.

Will it quote a new door over the phone?

It gives only the rates you approve and books a visit for anything else. Your team follows up on open estimates and proposals.

I am a two-truck shop. Is this too much for me?

It runs on the number you already have, and we run it for you. You approve the rules, hear it take your calls, and get one page a month showing what it handled.

What does the front desk cost?

FlowChainLabs Front Desk has three plans: Core $697, Plus $997 and Pro $1,497 a month. Each added location is $397 a month. No contract, no per-minute bills. Script, hours and service changes included. See every plan at https://flowchainlabs.com/front-desk.

Can I keep my current phone number?

Yes. Keep your number and forward the calls you want Front Desk to answer. Your team can keep answering during office hours.

What happens if no appointment is available?

The caller gets the next available option or a callback request. It does not promise a time that is not on the calendar.

Your next missed call is already dialing someone else.
