Filantis adds hotel, restaurant and office packs to its business phone system

The phones now act on what the front desk, the kitchen and the staff list already know. A free plan with no end date lets a small business try it on its own lines.

12 October 2026 — Filantis, a business phone system (PBX) for small and mid-sized businesses, now comes with industry packs for hotels, restaurants and offices. Each pack connects the phones to the work of the business, so the phone system acts on what the front desk, the kitchen or the staff list already knows.

A small business usually buys its phone system from one supplier and its front-desk, restaurant or payroll software from another, and the two share nothing. In a hotel that means a vacated room can still dial out, wake-up calls are kept in a diary, and reception learns that a room is clean when somebody comes to say so.

With the hotel pack, a room phone gets an outside line only while a guest is checked in. Guests set and cancel their own wake-up calls from the room phone. Housekeeping keys a room's status into the handset and the front desk board updates at once. Rooms cannot ring other rooms unless the desk opens it for a guest.

The restaurant pack adds an order line that rings the counter, the browser and the app together, kitchen order tickets on paper and on a kitchen display, and a kitchen intercom through the handsets. The office pack gives each member of staff an extension when they are added, takes attendance from biometric readers and runs payroll. Accounting is included with every pack.

The phone system itself covers call menus, ring groups, call recording, voicemail, video calls and fax, with apps for Android and Windows. It works with standard SIP desk phones and any SIP trunk provider, so a business keeps its existing numbers and its carrier.

The story, by beat

The problem your readers already have, and what Filantis does about it. Each one links to the page where the claim is shown in detail.

Hospitality

The room phone is the one system a hotel never connected

The problemAn independent hotel buys a phone system from one vendor and front-desk software from another, and the two never meet. So a vacated room can still dial out, wake-up calls live in a paper diary, and reception learns a room is clean when somebody walks down to say so.

What Filantis doesFilantis ties the room phone to the stay. The outside line opens at check-in and closes at check-out, guests set their own wake-up calls from the handset, and housekeeping keys the room status in from the room.

Telecom and UC

A PBX that is not billed by the head

The problemPer-user licensing means the phone bill grows every time a business hires, and features such as recording or call menus arrive as paid add-ons.

What Filantis doesFilantis is priced by simultaneous calls, so the tenth extension and the hundredth cost the same. It is built on Asterisk and standard SIP: existing handsets, existing numbers and any carrier, with no proprietary protocol. It can run hosted, on an appliance or on the customer's own server.

What the phone system includes →
Small business

Five subscriptions doing one job

The problemA small office or restaurant runs separate tools for calls, attendance, payroll, billing and accounts, and re-types the same people and the same sales into each one.

What Filantis doesIn Filantis they are one product. Adding a member of staff gives them an extension, the attendance reader feeds payroll, and bills post to the books without being keyed again.

What we do not claim

You would find these anyway, so here they are.

No uptime guarantee on standard plans

We watch the hosted platform and work to keep it running, but there is no contractual figure on the standard plans.

Support is by email

In business hours, on every plan. There is no telephone support desk.

Emergency calls depend on the carrier

Filantis does not sell call minutes. Customers bring their own SIP trunk, and emergency calling is only as good as that carrier and the location it holds.

We are a small company

That is why the product uses standard protocols a customer could take elsewhere, and why the owned editions exist.
