What should I do when a customer types the wrong quantity in a WhatsApp order?
By the Menuthere editorial team · Last updated
If a number looks odd, such as 20 instead of 2, ask before you cook. Repeat the order as a short list and ask for one yes.
- Look for numbers that do not fit, such as a very large quantity of one dish.
- Ask politely if the number is right before you start cooking.
- Repeat the whole order as a short list with quantities and the total.
- Ask for one yes. It takes ten seconds and saves a wasted order.
- Fix the order note if the customer changes a number.
Fewer typos in quantities
On your Menuthere link customers pick items and quantities with buttons and see the total before they send, so a mistyped quantity is much less likely to reach your kitchen.
