The Financial Reality

The cost difference between hiring a traditional receptionist and deploying an AI solution is significant. A full-time receptionist in Salt Lake City typically earns $45,000 to $55,000 annually, plus employer taxes, benefits, and training expenses that can easily add another $15,000 to $20,000 per year.

OAK AI's professional AI receptionist operates at a fraction of that cost—typically just hundreds of dollars per month. This represents approximately 80-90% savings compared to traditional hiring, making it an accessible solution even for small to medium-sized bakeries operating on tight margins.
