Do I need order software if I only get ten orders a week?
By the Menuthere editorial team · Last updated
Not always. At ten orders a week a notebook and the WhatsApp Business app can work. Move to software when orders get lost in chats or you want customers to order, pay and track without messaging.
- Keep a simple list of items, name, address and time for each order.
- Use labels for new, confirmed and delivered chats.
- Switch when you forget details, double-book, or spend more time typing than cooking.
- A free WhatsApp order page lets customers pick items and sends you a ready-made message.
- Check what you are paying if you move to a tool, and avoid per-order commission.
Start small, grow when you need to
Start with Menuthere's free WhatsApp order page, which has no commission and no login for the customer, and grow into a full ordering link with a dashboard as your orders grow.
