Your agent, your voice
- You pick Mist and the speaking voice — or clone yours
- Callers hear your shop, not a generic receptionist
- Knowledge base, pronunciation, and commercial ice machine service intake in your language
Built around your shop — not bolted on
By the time they hang up, the scale flush and repairs is quoted, booked, and on the tech's phone.
Not an AI receptionist bolted onto someone else's software. DispatchNode prices from your commercial ice machine service catalog and rules, books the job on the board, collects Stripe, and the tech sees it on their phone.

Estimated Opportunity Lost
The Old Way:
Losing Service Calls to Voicemail.
A restaurant's ice machine dies at 6 PM on a Friday, forcing the manager to send a busboy to three gas stations to buy 50 bags of ice at $4 each. She needs a technician on-site tonight — not Monday — and books the first refrigeration company that answers the phone with a real ETA.
A dispatcher sends a general HVAC mechanic to diagnose a commercial ice machine that actually just needs a $15 water filter swap and a 45-minute descaling cycle. The $150 truck roll and diagnostic fee enrage the restaurant owner, who cancels the maintenance contract.
A bar's ice machine has a 6-month sanitation schedule baked into its warranty. Without automated tracking, you only hear from the bar when the machine completely fails — missing $150 in recurring preventative maintenance revenue every six months per unit.

Commercial Ice Machine Service — why missed calls hurt
Market reality
A bartender scoops the last handful of ice from a 500-pound flaker machine at 7:30 PM on a Friday. The bar sells 200 cocktails on a typical Friday night at $12 each — every hour without ice costs $480 in lost drink revenue. The manager dials three refrigeration companies, and the one that answers with a technician ETA wins a $375 emergency repair.
How Mist wins the job
A sports bar manager calls in a panic: their 600-pound Manitowoc flaker stopped producing ice 20 minutes before a playoff game. The AI agent identifies the exact manufacturer and model, walks the manager through a 3-question symptom check — ice thickness, water flow, and error light pattern — and rules out a simple filter clog. It dispatches a commercial refrigeration technician carrying the OEM harvest valve and water pump, locks a 45-minute ETA, and sends the manager a secure payment link for the $200 emergency diagnostic fee alongside a live GPS tracking link showing the technician's route.
Frequently Asked Questions
How does the AI agent differentiate between a scale buildup and a mechanical failure?
The AI agent runs the caller through a rapid symptom tree: ice cube thickness, water flow rate at the drain, and any blinking error codes on the control board. If the answers point to mineral buildup, it books a $95 chemical descaling. If they indicate a hard-part failure, it dispatches a technician with the specific OEM component.
