How do I tell customers my restaurant takes orders on WhatsApp?
Updated 9 October 2026
Put the number where customers already look: menu, packaging, table tents, Google profile, Instagram bio and shop door. A QR code or short link that opens a chat makes it easy.
- QR code: WhatsApp suggests using the Business QR code on storefront signage or table tents. It does not expire unless you reset it.
- Short link: the Business app makes a short link for you under Tools, and you can edit its default message.
- Google: add your phone number to your Google profile and a WhatsApp chat button appears in Search and Maps.
- Say it once to regulars in a direct message, with the link, so they know ordering is open.
Every notice leads straight to ordering
Print the Menuthere QR code and link, and customers who message your own WhatsApp number get an Order Now button. Orders arrive in one dashboard at 0% commission.
