From the weekly special to the Christmas roast

Barbecue packs in summer, roast pre-orders in winter: SmartChat brings your counter to your customers over WhatsApp, instead of leaflets that go straight into the recycling.

Sound familiar?

The leaflet ends up in the recycling

You print the weekly specials, hand them out and hope for the best. Most of those flyers are never read. On WhatsApp your offer sits exactly where your customers look several times a day.

Fresh meat cannot be stored

Whatever is left in the counter on Saturday evening is unsellable by Monday. Without a direct line to your customers you have no way to steer demand towards the cuts you actually need to move.

Pre-order calls during the Christmas rush

Geese, roasting joints, rolled beef: in the run-up to Christmas the phone never stops, right in the middle of serving. Orders that land in the chat can wait until you have a moment, and nothing gets lost.

How you use SmartChat

01

The weekly special straight to the phone

Instead of a leaflet and a window poster, your weekly special lands on your customers' lock screens on Monday morning. That way the counter is planned before the week has even started.

02

Kick off the barbecue season

As soon as the weekend forecast looks sunny, your barbecue packs go out: marinated steaks, coarse pork sausages, everything ready to cook. All your customers have to do is reply.

03

Take pre-orders for Christmas and Easter

Christmas, Easter, family celebrations: order early and you get the cut you want. And you plan your buying and your production with no nasty surprises on the morning itself.

04

Tell people what is on for lunch

Roast pork, sausage salad, hearty stew: anyone who knows by 11 a.m. what you are serving comes to you on their lunch break, and not to the chain across the road.

FAQs

My customers are on the older side - do they even use WhatsApp?

Almost certainly yes. WhatsApp is part of daily life for younger and older customers alike, and plenty of them message their family on it every day. Your message lands where they are already looking.

How does a pre-order actually work?

You put out the call in the chat, your customers reply with what they want, and you confirm with one line. Everything is there in black and white in the thread, with no scraps of paper and no phone ringing while you are serving.

Who writes the messages?

The SmartChat AI, based on your website. It knows your range and your tone of voice, suggests weekly specials and campaigns, and you approve them with one tap.

What costs am I looking at?

SmartChat starts at 188 euros per month on the annual plan, with unlimited contacts included. The WhatsApp messages themselves are billed by Meta directly, and SmartChat charges no markup on top of them.

Is all of this above board legally?

Yes. Every customer signs up themselves and confirms with a double opt-in, every consent is documented, and every unsubscribe takes effect immediately. That keeps you GDPR-compliant.
