Your restaurant's WhatsApp answers and sells on its own

An AI agent shares today's menu, takes the order with quantities and address, sends the payment link in the chat and books tables. It replies instantly, at rush hour and on weekends too. You run the kitchen; it runs the conversation.

Industry pain points

What happens every day at your restaurant

01

Rush hour floods your WhatsApp

At lunch and dinner the messages all arrive at once, and the person replying is the same one sending out orders. Every unanswered chat is an order that goes to another restaurant.

02

Orders taken wrong, dishes sent back

A message read in a hurry ends up as an order without the special request, without the address or with the wrong dish. You pay for the mistake with the dish, the delivery and an unhappy customer.

03

Delivery apps eat into your margin

Your direct channel pays no commission, but someone has to handle it well. If your WhatsApp replies late or halfway, the customer goes back to ordering through the app.

04

Reservations live in a notebook

Written on paper or kept in the manager's head: tables booked twice, customers who don't show up and nobody confirming the day before.

FAQ

Common questions in restaurants and delivery

My restaurant's menu changes every day. How do I keep the AI from offering dishes that are no longer available?

Amiba only answers with the business information you load, so when you update today's menu the AI offers exactly that, with the current dishes and prices. If a customer asks about something that isn't in your information, it hands the conversation to a person on your team instead of guessing. Keeping the menu up to date means updating that information, not asking for new development.

On Friday nights I get a lot of WhatsApp orders at once. Can the AI handle them all at the same time?

Yes. Amiba's AI handles every conversation at the same time, so at rush hour no customer is left waiting for whoever answers the phone to be free. Each order is taken in the same chat, with the payment link right there, and if one needs human judgment it goes to your team with the full conversation history. Plans also include unlimited users, so during peaks your whole staff can jump in and reply at no extra cost.

Can a WhatsApp assistant take orders with notes like "no onions" or "sauce on the side"?

Yes. Amiba uses conversational AI on Meta's official WhatsApp API, so it understands orders the way people actually write them and records the notes as part of the order. If a note is ambiguous, it confirms with the customer before closing the order; and when someone asks for something that isn't in your business information, the chat goes to your team without the customer repeating anything.

Can I connect the WhatsApp bot to the POS or system I already use, so I don't enter orders twice?

Yes. Amiba integrates via API with Odoo, Zoho and any system with an API, so orders that come in through the chat reach your system without manual entry. If your POS or management system has an API, the connection is defined during implementation based on how your restaurant works. And even before you connect anything, the AI can take orders and send the payment link, using the business information loaded on the platform.

Is it worth running my own delivery over WhatsApp instead of relying only on delivery apps that charge a commission?

With Amiba your own delivery comes in through your WhatsApp and the customer gets the payment link in the same chat, with a fixed monthly plan (prices are on the Pricing page) instead of a commission on every order. The customer and their history stay with your business, not with a third-party app, so you can sell to them directly again, also on Instagram, Messenger or your website chat. You don't have to drop the apps overnight: you can keep them as a showcase and use your WhatsApp as your own channel, one that doesn't take a cut of every sale.
