WhatsApp marketing for restaurants and cafes in India
Answer every table enquiry, reply to every Google review, and fill the slow Tuesday.
Diners in India ask about tables, party bookings and timings on WhatsApp, and pick a place from its Google rating. BeeCMO answers those enquiries in seconds from facts you approved, replies to every Google review in the reviewer's language, asks guests who opted in for a review, and writes your weekly posts for festivals, specials and quiet nights.

Where restaurants lose guests
Party enquiries at rush hour
"Can you seat 25 on Saturday?" arrives at 8 pm, when everyone is serving. The group books elsewhere before you see the message.
Unanswered reviews
A 2★ review about slow service sits without a reply for weeks, and every future guest reads it.
No posts for slow nights
You know Tuesday is quiet. Nobody has time to write the post that might fill it.
What BeeCMO does for a restaurant each week
- Answers WhatsApp enquiries from your approved facts: timings, menu link, seating, private room, parking, delivery areas. It collects the date, time and party size, then alerts your manager to confirm.
- Replies to every Google review, in the reviewer's language. Bad reviews get a calm reply that moves the conversation to your manager.
- Asks guests for a review by WhatsApp, the same message to everyone who opted in.
- Writes weekly posts for Instagram, Facebook and your Google profile: specials, thalis, live music nights and festival menus around Diwali, Holi or Eid.
- Runs Click-to-WhatsApp ads on Growth, created paused and only spending after you approve.

Example — your drafts are written from your website. These are made-up drafts for Masala Junction, a family restaurant in Jaipur. Tapping Approve here only shows what happens; nothing is sent.

Food came cold and the waiter was rude.
We're sorry. Cold food and poor service are not what we want for any guest. Please message our manager, Vikram, on the WhatsApp number on our profile so we can make it right.

Thank you for dining at Masala Junction. If you enjoyed the meal, a Google review helps other families find us: [link]

Where to eat dal baati churma in Jaipur: a local's guide
Visitors search this before they arrive. Outline: what makes a good dal baati, the classic sides, and when to visit for the freshest batch.
Made-up business — not customer results.
In the app it works the same way: one tap each, from your phone or by email. Start your free trial and your first drafts come from your own website.
Google reviews, not delivery-app reviews
Guard Bee works with Google reviews only. Zomato and Swiggy reviews aren't supported. Most first-time diners still check Google Maps, so that's where a steady flow of recent, answered reviews counts most. How to respond to negative Google reviews.
Questions restaurant owners ask
Can it take table bookings?
It collects the date, time and party size and alerts your team to confirm. Calendar booking isn't built yet.
Will it reply to reviews in Hindi?
Yes. Review replies are written in the reviewer's language. Check any draft in a language you don't read well before you approve it.
Can it send offers to past guests?
Broadcasts are on Messenger Bee Pro, only to guests with a recorded opt-in, and every broadcast waits for your approval with a cost estimate first.
What does a WhatsApp offer cost to send?
Meta bills each marketing template to your own account: ₹0.8631 before GST at Meta's India rate effective 1 October 2026. Work out a month's bill.
