How can I promote my restaurant on WhatsApp?
Updated 30 September 2026
Use Status for daily updates, broadcast lists for offers to saved contacts, a QR code and link to start chats, and click-to-WhatsApp ads to reach new people.
- Status: text, photo, video and GIF updates that disappear after 24 hours. Video can be up to 90 seconds.
- Broadcast lists: one message to up to 256 contacts. Only people who saved your number receive it, and replies arrive as private chats.
- Put your WhatsApp link and QR code on table tents, signage and packaging so customers start the chat with you.
- Facebook and Instagram ads can open a chat with you. Messages in a chat started from an ad are free for up to 7 days.
- Message people about offers only if they agreed to hear from you.
