How do I handle private dining and event enquiries on WhatsApp?
By the Menuthere editorial team · Last updated
Reply with a short question list: date, time, guest count, allergies and budget. Quote after you have the answers, confirm the date in writing and take a deposit to hold it.
- Ask for the date, time, number of guests, allergies, budget and a contact name in one message.
- Send the quote in writing with what is included and the cancellation terms.
- Hold the date only after a deposit. Say so before you share the quote.
- Use a label or a separate list so event chats do not get buried by daily orders.
- Confirm the final guest count and menu a few days before the event.
Bookings you can see in one place
Customers can book a table slot or pre-order for a set date from your Menuthere page, and each booking appears in your dashboard instead of getting lost in a long chat.
