Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about deploying WhatsApp Business API for Restaurants

Can customers browse menus and pay inside WhatsApp?

Yes! With WhatsApp Catalog features and integrated payment gateways (UPI, Razorpay, Stripe), customers can browse dishes, customize items, and complete payments without downloading another app.

Can this connect to our restaurant POS or Kitchen Display System (KDS)?

Yes! WA Automates connects via Webhook APIs to popular restaurant POS systems like Petpooja, POSist, and custom order management backends.

How do QR code table menus work?

Diners scan a QR code placed on their table which opens a WhatsApp chat pre-filled with their table number. The bot displays the digital menu and sends orders straight to the kitchen.

Can we send weekend promotional broadcasts?

Yes. You can send pre-approved promotional broadcast templates with appetizing photos and special weekend discount codes to your opted-in customer database.
