Pre-order Thanksgiving pies and turkeys with your AI agent
Short answer: Tell your agent what you want, how many people it's for, and when you can pick it up. CallForMe calls the bakery, butcher or caterer, checks they're still taking Thanksgiving orders, places the order, and gets the total, the pickup window and an order number. With call_around it can try several shops at once and stop at the first one with room.

Thanksgiving is Thursday, November 26, 2026. Bakeries, butchers and caterers take most of their holiday orders by phone, and the good slots go early. That's a lot of calls on hold for a pie.
What your agent does
- Finds the shops with find_business ("bakeries near 75024", "butcher shops that take turkey orders").
- Calls them, one at a time or several at once with call_around, and stops at the first one that can take the order.
- Places the order: the items, the quantity, the name and phone for the order, and the pickup day and window.
- Gets the details you'll need on the day: the total, whether they need a deposit, the pickup time, and an order or confirmation number.
- Reports back with a transcript, plus who said no and why.
Good errands for Thanksgiving week
- Pre-order pies, rolls or a cake from a bakery.
- Order a fresh turkey or a ham from a butcher, with the weight you want.
- Order catered sides or a full dinner for pickup or delivery.
- Book a table for Thanksgiving dinner (see restaurant reservations).
- Check what a store's hours are on the day itself (see holiday hours).
What to give your agent
- The items and quantities, and any substitutes you'd accept.
- The name and phone number for the order.
- The pickup day and the window that works.
- A budget, if you have one, in
constraints.
What it costs
$1 per answered call, including the first 2 minutes, then $0.40 a minute. Calls nobody answers cost nothing. Calling three bakeries usually costs about $3 to $5, and you can cap a batch with max_spend_usd.

Questions
When do Thanksgiving pre-orders close?
It varies by shop. Many bakeries and butchers stop taking orders a few days to a week before Thanksgiving, and popular items sell out earlier. Calling in early November gives you the most choice.
Will it pay a deposit?
No. The assistant never gives card numbers. If a shop needs a deposit to hold the order, the assistant asks how to pay it (online, in person, or a callback to you) and reports back.
Can it change or cancel the order later?
Yes. Ask your agent to call back with the order number. It can change the pickup time or the items, or cancel.
What if every shop is full?
The results show who said no and why, often with a suggestion such as a later pickup or a different item. Your agent can widen the search or try grocery store bakeries.
