A coverage launch is ready when the planned call paths produce observable outcomes under normal and failure conditions. Use permitted test calls and confirm the actual phone-system behavior with the provider.
Use the six call cases as a demonstration brief and request observable results for every route. Prepare a Loman workflow demonstration ↗
List the restaurant timezone, active hours, first answer, busy fallback, no-answer fallback and escalation owner. Record the expected guest experience for each case before dialing.
Tell staff when testing will happen, use harmless fictional requests and avoid placing real paid orders unless separately authorized. If a test creates a ticket or booking, use the restaurant’s agreed test procedure.
Check an ordinary open-hours call, a busy line, an unattended first destination, an after-hours call, a staff escalation and an unavailable escalation destination. Add midnight-boundary cases for overnight service.
For each case, record time, route, guest-facing explanation, completion evidence and any discrepancy. An answer in the conversation is not proof that a downstream action completed.
Name the person who can approve the route change and the person who can restore the prior setup. Keep provider support details and the previous configuration available to authorized staff.
If a material route fails, pause that workflow and correct it before expanding traffic. The local planner exports intended policy; it does not apply or roll back phone settings.
Test an open-hours call, a busy line, an unattended destination, an after-hours call, a staff transfer and a failed staff transfer. Add overnight and holiday boundaries relevant to your operation.
Use the restaurant’s approved test process and fictional requests. A real paid order or table reservation requires separate authorization and coordination with staff.
Hold a workflow with a material routing failure, a false confirmation or an unresolved handoff. Assign an owner, fix the cause and repeat the affected test before expanding traffic.
Build a weekly schedule, choose your fallback and export a coverage policy.
