The business texting! \u201cIt\u2019s so great that when our customers call and we miss their call or it\u2019s after hours, we can respond with a quick text,\u201d says Liz Roquet, founder and president.

When opening her firm, she knew it was going to be critical to invest in the right phone system. \u201cMy lifeline in keeping my business alive are my clients, so I needed a reliable and efficient phone service\u201d says Kaitlin. The app has never glitched on her, allowing her to stay connected to her clients without worrying about downtime. Her favorite features include the call routing so new clients can be sent to the answering service while her existing clients can go straight to her direct line. The fax is also critical to Kaitlin as she can easily send PDFs as faxes right on her phone.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Congratulations to Kaitlin Files on the thorough, fun video!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 class=\"heading h3\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">QSROnline.com<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><iframe sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-presentation\" title=\"Ring Central QSROnline 2023\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/z-ryrnKVEE4?list=PLpfipw7KaEwZk15B3ZhcuW0weWdXbFls2\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen sandbox=\"allow-same-origin allow-scripts allow-presentation\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">QSROnline provides restaurant management software solutions including inventory and food management, labor scheduling, accounting and payroll automation, and business intelligence. They\u2019ve been a customer with RingCentral for 16 years. QSROnline utilizes <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ringcentral.com\/call-monitoring.html\">RingCentral\u2019s call monitoring feature<\/a> when the client services team is working with customers as a means of training and coaching.\u00a0 \u201cAs a manager, what I really like about RingCentral is that I can monitor my employee\u2019s phone calls or set up a training session where my employees mentor and shadow,\u201d says Jamie Provance, director of client services. \u201cThere\u2019s a whisper mode where I can whisper into their ear what they need to do next vs having to take over the call. It\u2019s a lot of indirect training that allows my employees to grow without having to sit right next to me. It makes my job a lot easier than it needs to be.\u201d <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Congrats to QSROnline on all the success!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"heading h2\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\ud83d\udc4f Honorable mentions\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n<h3 class=\"heading h3\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Colorado Realty and Property Management, Inc.<\/span><\/h3>\n<div class=\"rc_custom_video\"><a class=\"rc_custom_video__link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtu.be\/LWGmkfspwSM\">\n\t\t            <picture><source srcset=\"https:\/\/i.ytimg.com\/vi_webp\/LWGmkfspwSM\/maxresdefault.webp\" type=\"image\/webp\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"rc_custom_video__media\" src=\"https:\/\/i.ytimg.com\/vi\/LWGmkfspwSM\/maxresdefault.jpg\" alt=\"\">\n\t\t            <\/picture>\n\t\t        <\/a><br \/>\n\t\t        <button class=\"rc_custom_video__button\" aria-label=\"Play video\"><svg width=\"68\" height=\"48\" viewBox=\"0 0 68 48\"><path class=\"rc_custom_video__button-shape\" d=\"M66.52,7.74c-0.78-2.93-2.49-5.41-5.42-6.19C55.79,.13,34,0,34,0S12.21,.13,6.9,1.55 C3.97,2.33,2.27,4.81,1.48,7.74C0.06,13.05,0,24,0,24s0.06,10.95,1.48,16.26c0.78,2.93,2.49,5.41,5.42,6.19 C12.21,47.87,34,48,34,48s21.79-0.13,27.1-1.55c2.93-0.78,4.64-3.26,5.42-6.19C67.94,34.95,68,24,68,24S67.94,13.05,66.52,7.74z\"><\/path><path class=\"rc_custom_video__button-icon\" d=\"M 45,24 27,14 27,34\"><\/path><\/svg><br \/>\n\t\t        <\/button>\n\t\t    <\/div>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Colorado Realty and Property Management, Inc. has staff across the US, Mexico, South Africa, and the Philippines, which means they need a platform that can deliver smooth, uninterrupted communications.
