In this episode of the Pizza King Podcast, Tyrell Reed sits down with Logan Whitehouse, co-founder of Virnika AI, to break down how AI phone automation is changing restaurant operations.

The conversation stays focused on real operator problems. Missed calls. Labor pressure. Inconsistent upselling. Customer experience during peak hours. Logan explains how AI voice agents can take orders, answer menu questions, upsell consistently, and scale call volume without adding staff. All while keeping your existing phone number and POS setup intact.

You will hear a clear breakdown of implementation timelines, common operator concerns, and how to measure ROI beyond labor savings. This includes higher ticket averages, fewer missed orders, reduced staff stress, and better focus during rushes.

Logan also shares why Virnika stays restaurant-only, how the system learns your menu in real time, and what the future of AI assistants in restaurant leadership could look like. This episode is built for pizzeria owners, operators, and managers who want practical insight into AI for restaurants, phone automation, labor efficiency, and smarter operations without sacrificing hospitality.
