{"faqs":[{"answer":"No. CallMyCustomers works from your existing list — a CRM export, spreadsheet, or point-of-sale list — exactly as it is. There's no software to buy or learn, and replies route back into your current booking and reservation process.","question":"Do I need to change my POS or reservation system to use this?"},{"answer":"Complete control. The owner approves every script, offer, and message before anything is sent. We plan the campaign together — the reason to reconnect, the offer, the tone — you sign off, and then we run it in your restaurant's name.","question":"How much control do I have over what gets sent to my guests?"},{"answer":"There's a one-time Campaign Setup fee based on your list size, quoted at the free list review, plus Outreach Minutes billed at 9¢–21¢ per minute, stepping down as monthly volume grows. Campaign Management is monthly and folded into the plan, and texts and emails aren't billed separately — no per-seat or software pricing, no surprise line items.","question":"How is this priced — is there a per-seat or software fee?"},{"answer":"Win-back campaigns typically run two to four weeks end-to-end, with replies coming in as soon as the first wave goes out.
