Can restaurants accept table bookings on WhatsApp?

Yes. Chatbot flows collect reservation details and send confirmation templates. Tie availability to your reservation system or manual rules — the bot does not know live table occupancy unless you connect it.

No-show tables
Automated reminders cut no-shows but do not eliminate them; confirm party size and send a T-2h reminder.
Delivery status calls
Proactive order updates reduce "where is my food?" calls when your POS or kitchen system triggers them.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can restaurants accept table bookings on WhatsApp?+
Yes. Chatbot flows collect reservation details and send confirmation templates. Tie availability to your reservation system or manual rules — the bot does not know live table occupancy unless you connect it.
Can we take delivery orders entirely on WhatsApp?+
Yes for direct orders: share menu, accept order in chat, send payment link. High-volume delivery during rush hour still needs POS and rider coordination behind the scenes.
Do we need customer opt-in for promotional broadcasts?+
Yes. Marketing messages require opt-in and approved templates. Build consent at dine-in (QR, receipt, or staff ask) before sending offers.
