Project Overview
Restaurants manage continuous customer interactions for menu inquiries, order placement, delivery updates, and reservation-related questions. Handling these conversations manually on WhatsApp often leads to delays, missed orders, and inconsistent customer experience.
We built a WhatsApp-Based Order & Support Bot tailored for restaurants, enabling conversational order handling, menu navigation, and customer support through AI-driven automation all within WhatsApp.

The restaurant client faced operational challenges:
- High volume of WhatsApp messages for orders and inquiries
- Manual order taking leading to errors
- Delayed responses during peak hours
- Limited visibility into WhatsApp-based orders
- Staff overload managing chat and in-store operations
- Difficulty scaling customer communication
These challenges affected service speed and customer satisfaction.
