Handle restaurant reservations over WhatsApp
The author built a WhatsApp agent for a local restaurant that checks availability, answers questions and confirms bookings; one paying customer so far.
What they did
The author built a WhatsApp agent for a local restaurant that handles the full reservation chat with customers: it checks availability, answers restaurant questions, confirms bookings, and also sends reminder and thank-you messages. Alongside it, they provide a web app for staff to manage reservations, view table layouts, and see which bookings are assigned to each table; the first customer came from cold outreach and a meeting.
How it went
They say they have one paying restaurant customer so far. The main shortfall is distribution: after sending more than 1,000 cold emails, most restaurants either did not reply or rejected the idea.
Worth knowing
The clearest catch is go-to-market, not build: 1,000+ cold emails produced only one paying customer.
