How do dhabas take pre-orders on WhatsApp?

Travellers message the dishes and their arrival time to the dhaba's WhatsApp Business app number, and the dhaba replies with the total and when the food will be ready.

• Ask for four things: dishes, number of people, arrival time and any special request.
• Save that question and your reply as quick replies. You can store up to 50 and call one by typing “/”.
• Give each chat a label such as “arriving today” to see who is due next. You can create up to 20 labels.
• Add your phone number to your Google Business Profile and a WhatsApp click to chat button shows in Google Search and Maps.
• Print your WhatsApp QR code on bills and parcels for the return trip. It does not expire unless you reset it or delete your account.
