Unconditional call forwarding

Unconditional call forwarding means every incoming call goes straight to the forwarded number. The restaurant phone does not ring first.

In a real restaurant, this might be used when the dining room is closed, the phone line is set to a night number, or the owner wants all calls to go to a phone host during service. Example: a sushi shop forwards all calls from the main line to the phone host on Sunday nights so pickup orders and questions about hours still get answered.

Why it matters for phone orders: it gives you a clean, simple way to reroute the phone. The tradeoff is that staff will not hear the original ring at the store. Always confirm the code with your carrier or VoIP provider, and test it with a real call before relying on it.
