Can I create a WhatsApp Community for my restaurant?
Updated 2 October 2026
Not on the Business app. The Help Center says it is not currently possible to create a community there.
- A Channel is a one-way broadcast. Followers do not see your profile name, picture or phone number.
- A broadcast list sends one message to up to 256 contacts who saved your number.
- Your Status reaches people who have your number saved.
- Pick one way, and always include your ordering link.
Reach regulars with offers
Menuthere sends offers and comeback messages from your own WhatsApp number to customers who opted in. Each message carries your ordering link so regulars can order in one tap.
