What do I do when a WhatsApp customer orders with only emojis?
By the Menuthere editorial team · Last updated
Never guess what the emojis mean. Reply with the menu and one clear question, and confirm the exact items and quantity before you cook.
- Send a friendly reply with your menu or order link instead of a guess.
- Ask a single question, for example 'Which dish and how many?'.
- Repeat the order back in words and wait for a yes.
- Do not start cooking from emojis alone. A wrong order costs more than a short wait.
- If the customer keeps doing this, send the ordering link so they can tap instead of type.
Customers tap instead of type
On your Menuthere link customers tap their dishes and quantities, so you get a clear order instead of a string of emojis to decode.
