Your guests are already messaging. Are you ready?

Bookings, orders and questions all come in on WhatsApp, one place to handle them beats a phone passed around the kitchen.

The usual way

  • Messages go unanswered during the rush.
  • Bookings and orders get lost in personal chats.
  • One phone, the whole team guessing who replied.
  • No easy way to bring diners back.

With WA Desk

  • Every guest message in one shared inbox.
  • Auto-replies for hours, menu and bookings.
  • Clear ownership on every request.
  • Broadcast offers that actually get read.
