Every stool at the bar taken
People plan their night out on WhatsApp. SmartChat puts your events, new drinks and specials on your customers' lock screen, with a 98% open rate.
Sound familiar?
Events stay half empty
Live band booked, tasting planned, DJ paid for - and then too few people turn up, simply because nobody heard about it. Tuesday's post is long forgotten by Friday night.
Weeknights with nobody in
Friday and Saturday run themselves, but from Tuesday to Thursday the bar stays quiet. A good reason at the right moment would bring people in - you just have no way of telling anyone about it.
Customers come, go and disappear
A strong night, great atmosphere, a full bar - and afterwards? No number, no channel, no way of seeing those people again. Every night you start from scratch.
How you use SmartChat
Announce events and fill the room
Live jazz, a DJ set, quiz night: your regulars hear about it straight away, not three days later while scrolling, by which point their evening is long since spoken for.
New menu and signature drinks
When your bartender comes up with something new, that is news worth sharing - and your regulars want to be the first to try it.
Turn quiet nights into theme nights
A mezcal flight on Wednesday, a rum tasting on Tuesday: quiet weeknights turn into fixtures your regulars look forward to all week.
Take weekend reservations in the chat
Anyone who wants a guaranteed spot on Saturday just says so in the chat. You plan better, and nobody turns up to find the place already full.

FAQs
Does WhatsApp marketing suit the style of my bar?
Especially a bar like yours. A short, easy message with a good reason behind it reads like a tip from the bartender - personal rather than promotional. The AI gets your tone right because it learns it from your website.
When is the best time to send?
Just before people plan their night, so mid-afternoon or early evening depending on your crowd. You pick the moment yourself, and the message sits on the lock screen with a 98% open rate.
How do I collect numbers without being pushy?
With a QR code on the menu or at the bar and a good reason to scan it: sign up and you hear about events first. Everyone confirms with a double opt-in, so it stays voluntary and GDPR-compliant.
What does SmartChat cost me?
Plans start at 188 euros per month on the annual plan and contacts are unlimited. Meta bills the WhatsApp messages directly, and SmartChat charges nothing on top of that.
I am closed during the day and busy at night - who does the work?
The AI does. It builds your landing page, newsletters and follow-ups from your website and drafts every announcement. You read it over, tap approve, and it is done before the ice delivery arrives.
