What does Sid say to a guest asking about Bandra West?
Here is a typical first chat, the same one that plays in the phone above. A guest asks about Bandra West, Sid answers, asks the questions your best salesperson would ask and books the next step, all within a few minutes. Your team sees the whole conversation in the shared inbox.
- Customer Saturday raat 8 baje 6 logon ke liye table milega? Bandra West outlet
- Sid Hi! 🍽️ Yes, we have a table for 6 at Bandra West on Saturday at 8 pm. Is it a special occasion? [Birthday · Just dinner]
- Customer Birthday
- Sid Lovely 🎂 Booked ✅ Saturday, 8 pm, table for 6 at Bandra West. Shall I share our group set menu?
- Customer Haan please
- Sid Here it is 📄 I'll send a reminder on Saturday afternoon. See you!
Example conversation. Names, prices and timings come from your own business once Sid is set up.
What should restaurants in Mumbai know before automating WhatsApp?
Weekend tables, birthdays and office parties are enquired about all week on Instagram and WhatsApp, often late at night. Sid learns your neighbourhoods, such as Bandra West, Lower Parel and Colaba, along with your prices, timings and documents, so its answers sound local, not generic.
Sid replies in English, Hindi and Hinglish. If many of your customers in Mumbai write in Marathi, ask us on WhatsApp before you start so we can confirm what works for your account.
How does Sid follow up until the deal closes?
Sid follows up on its own, at the right time, using what the guest asked about. Inside the 24-hour window it replies freely; after that it uses your approved WhatsApp templates. It stops the moment the guest replies, books or says no, and your team can take over at any point.
- Same minute: Sid answers the table, menu or party question and offers a time.
- Booking: The table or party is confirmed on WhatsApp, with the location pin.
- On the day: A reminder a few hours before, so the table isn't wasted.
- After the meal: A thank-you with a one-tap Google review link, and later a nudge for the next occasion.
