Handle restaurant reservations over WhatsApp
A builder sold a WhatsApp reservation agent to one restaurant after a long cold-email grind, with staff still holding the floor plan.
Done with
What they did
Guests chat to reserve: the agent reads open tables, answers house questions, confirms the booking, then sends a reminder and a thank-you. Floor staff use a small web app for the book, the table map and which name sits where. The first paying kitchen did not come in from inbound demand. It came from cold outreach plus a meeting.
How it went
One paying restaurant so far.
Worth knowing
Selling was the hard part. More than 1,000 cold emails produced that one customer.
For a Pattaya restaurant
Walking Street rooms fill from chat more than from a ringing phone. Keep a person on the confirm so a 12-top does not land on a two-top. Put party caps and last seating in the sheet the agent reads.
Set it up
- Put tables, hours and last seating in a sheet or booking tool.
- Connect the public WhatsApp Business number, or LINE if that is the local channel.
- Load hours, menu link and pin location as the only facts it may quote.
- Draft each confirmation for staff to approve on night one.
- Turn on reminder and thank-you texts after a clean week.
- Run one sample booking before guests see the number.
