One significant expense many businesses face is reception staff costs – but what if there was a smarter way to handle your scheduling and customer communications?

The True Cost of Traditional Reception

Traditional reception staffing comes with substantial expenses that go beyond just the base salary:

• Average receptionist salary: $35,000-$45,000 per year
• Additional costs for benefits, training, and overtime
• Limited to standard business hours
• Time off, sick days, and turnover challenges
• Multiple staff needed for full coverage
