WHATSAPP FOR RESTAURANTS & F&B

Reservations, orders, and the regulars who come back because you remembered them.

15–20% of booked tables no-show, and food aggregators take an effective 25–35% of every delivery order (2024). WhatsMark takes reservations without tying up the phone, reminds guests so fewer tables sit empty, runs direct WhatsApp orders that skip the commission, and brings regulars back with a broadcast — on the official Meta Cloud API, at 0% markup.

Three things every D2C team already lives with

Phone reservations mean missed calls and no-shows

Half the calls go to voicemail during the rush — and 15–20% of booked tables no-show (ResDiary, OpenTable — 2024). An empty table at 8 PM on a Saturday costs you the full cover.

Aggregators take an effective 25–35% on every order

Once commission, fees, and GST are counted, a delivery order through Zomato or Swiggy can hand over 25–35% of the revenue (2024). A direct WhatsApp order costs nothing in commission and keeps the guest relationship with you.

Daily specials die in unread emails and stories

You post the weekend special on Instagram at 10 AM. By noon, half your regulars haven't seen it. A WhatsApp broadcast to opted-in guests is read by roughly 95% within minutes.

The four pieces

What you actually need to run WhatsApp marketing at scale

Reservation confirmation and no-show prevention

Every booking is confirmed on WhatsApp with a one-tap button, and a reminder before the sitting fires automatically. Guests who don't confirm get a nudge, so fewer tables sit empty — on a channel read within minutes, not an ignored SMS.

Direct takeaway and delivery orders

Regulars message your number, pick from an interactive menu, and pay via a link from your own Razorpay account. No aggregator in the middle; the full margin — and the guest relationship — stays with you.

Daily specials and win-back that get seen

Broadcast today's special to a guest Group as a swipeable carousel, and let a scheduled Sequence send a "we miss you" nudge 30 days after a guest's last visit. Every message carries a Book-a-table or Order-in button, with delivery and click analytics.

Keep your number, one team across outlets

Coexistence keeps your restaurant's existing WhatsApp number and chats while WhatsMark automates on top. Connect each outlet's number (up to 10 on Professional) and route it to its own named team inbox, with assignment and notes for your front-of-house staff.

Scenario 01 / Reservations

Confirm every booking, keep the tables full — without tying up the phone.

A guest messages your WhatsApp number for a table. A bot captures party size, date, and time, checks availability, and sends a structured confirmation with a one-tap "Confirmed" button. Before the sitting, an automatic reminder fires; guests who don't tap get routed to a human to follow up. Since WhatsApp reminders actually get read, fewer of those 15–20% booked tables sit empty.

  • Bot captures party size, date, and time from the conversation
  • Structured confirmation with "Confirmed ✓ / Reschedule" buttons
  • Automatic pre-sitting reminder — no manual follow-up needed
  • Unconfirmed guests routed to a human for follow-up

Scenario 02 / Direct ordering

Take orders directly, keep 100% of the margin.

A regular messages to order their usual. An interactive list message shows today's menu; they pick items, get a summary, and pay via a link from your own Razorpay account — all without leaving WhatsApp. No aggregator commission. The ticket goes to your kitchen system via an API step and a delivery ETA comes back on the same thread.

  • Menu browsing via interactive list messages
  • Order summary with edit option before confirmation
  • Payment link from your own Razorpay account closes the order in-chat
  • Order pushed to your POS via API; ETA back on the same thread

Scenario 03 / Repeat visits

Bring the regulars back before they forget you .

Group your guests by last visit or favourite dish, then send a "we miss you" nudge as a swipeable carousel of new dishes — or let a scheduled Sequence follow up automatically 30 days after someone's last order. Each message carries a one-tap "Book a table," on a channel read within minutes instead of an Instagram story half your regulars never saw.

  • Contact Groups by last visit or order — no manual list-pulling
  • Carousel of new dishes with a one-tap "Book a table"
  • Scheduled Sequence follows up 30 days after a guest's last visit
  • Delivered, read, and click analytics on every broadcast

FAQ

Common questions, honest answers

Don't see your question? Email me at mailto:[email protected] — I read and answer every one personally.

Yes. A bot captures party size, date, and time; checks your availability calendar; and sends a structured confirmation with a "Confirmed ✓ / Reschedule" button. No phone call needed. The entire booking is logged and accessible in the shared inbox for your front-of-house team.

Every confirmed guest gets an automatic reminder before their sitting with a one-tap Confirm button, and anyone who doesn't respond is flagged for your team to follow up. Because WhatsApp is read within minutes where an SMS often isn't, more of those 15–20% of booked tables (ResDiary, 2024) actually turn up — but we won't quote you a specific reduction figure until we have measured customer data behind it.

Yes — that's the direct-ordering flow. A regular messages your number, an interactive list message walks them through the menu, they confirm, and a payment link from your own Razorpay account closes the order. There's no aggregator commission — you keep the full margin and the guest relationship.

You can connect up to 2 WhatsApp numbers on Free, 10 on Professional, and unlimited on Reseller — one per outlet — all from one workspace, with a named team inbox per outlet. Being straight about today's reality: these live in a single workspace, not separate isolated sub-accounts per outlet with per-brand white-labeling — that broader capability is on the roadmap, not shipped.

Guests who message your number and opt in can receive marketing broadcasts (per Meta's policy). You approve a WhatsApp template once, then broadcast it — as a swipeable carousel if you like — to a guest Group, with a "Book a Table" or "Order In" button so every message has a conversion action. You see delivered, read, and click analytics, and eligible sends auto-route through Meta's cheaper MM Lite path.

Meta charges per conversation, billed directly to your own Meta Business Account at its published rates. Reservation confirmations and reminders fall under Meta's cheapest (utility) category; daily-special broadcasts are marketing. WhatsMark adds 0% on top and auto-routes eligible marketing sends through MM Lite — you pay us only the flat subscription.

Through a standard API/webhook integration, not a bespoke plug-in. Your POS (Petpooja, Posist, or a custom system) exposes an API that a flow calls to push the order, and WhatsMark forwards message events back across 30 Meta event types. A developer wires it once, or a Zapier/Make bridge handles it — WhatsMark doesn't ship a pre-built POS connector today.

That's exactly what it's for. During a Friday rush, nobody front-of-house has time to answer the phone for every booking — so calls get missed and tables go empty. A reservation flow takes the booking start to finish: it asks party size, date, and time, checks availability, confirms, and sends the reminder, all without a staff member touching it. Direct orders work the same way through an interactive menu. Because WhatsApp gets opened almost every time (~95%), the confirmation and reminder actually land. Your team only steps in for special requests; everything routine runs itself.
