WhatsApp Chatbot for Restaurants
Let customers book tables, browse menus, and ask questions on WhatsApp. Your restaurant's AI assistant handles reservations, shares daily specials, and manages takeout orders — freeing your staff to focus on service.
Why WhatsApp for Restaurants?
Diners prefer WhatsApp over phone calls for reservations, especially younger demographics. A WhatsApp chatbot handles multiple conversations simultaneously, never puts customers on hold, and works 24/7 — even when the restaurant is closed.
Real-World Scenarios
See how businesses in Restaurants use Chatloom on WhatsApp every day.
Table Reservations
Customer messages "table for 4 Friday at 8pm" — the bot reads your connected calendar, confirms the slot or offers the nearest one, and writes the booking into the calendar your team already watches.
Menu Inquiries
Customer asks about allergens or ingredients — the bot provides detailed menu info including dietary options and ingredients.
Takeout Orders
Customer browses the menu via WhatsApp, places a takeout order, and receives a pickup time confirmation.
Event & Catering Inquiries
Corporate customer asks about event hosting — the bot shares packages, capacity, and connects them with the events team.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Can the bot handle table reservations?
- Yes, through your calendar. Connect Google Calendar or Cal.com and the agent reads your free slots, then writes the confirmed booking back as an event with the guest's details. It is a calendar booking rather than a table-management system, so floor plans and covers-per-slot stay in whatever tool your front of house already uses.
- Can I share my menu on WhatsApp?
- Yes. Upload your menu with photos, prices, and dietary labels. Customers can browse categories, check allergens, and see daily specials directly in the chat.
- Does it handle takeout orders?
- It handles the conversation, not the till. The agent walks a customer through the menu and captures what they want, then hands the order to your team. There is no POS or payment integration, so the kitchen confirms the order the way it does today.
- Does it remind guests so they don't no-show?
- When a guest leaves an email address with the booking, the calendar invite carries a reminder the day before. For a WhatsApp-only booking there is no automatic reminder yet; restaurants that want one send an approved WhatsApp template from the dashboard.
- Can it work in multiple languages?
- Yes. This is especially valuable for restaurants in tourist areas. The bot auto-detects the customer's language and responds accordingly in 95+ languages.
