Both figures above come from a study in the United States. We have not found equivalent data for other markets yet, which is why we want to measure it with the first restaurants that work with us.

No website yet?It is a separate service. See website plans ↗Your phone is full of people who already bought from you. When did you last write to them?
When the season arrives, everyone is going to buy something. If you do not remember them, they will not remember you either — and writing the campaign on the day is already late.
Getting a new customer costs you. Selling again to the one you already have does not — if you remember them.
$349,000/mo
Up to 2,000 sends a month
Pay annually and the calendar session is included.
We go through your whole year with you and you leave with all 12 months written and scheduled. On its own it is a paid strategy session; with the annual plan, it is not.
The sends come out of your bundle: we reserve up to 30%, which is 900 a month on Standard and 2,340 on Growth. On Standard, if you want the full 2,000, you top up: 1,000 messages for $120,000.

THE CHEAP ONES
OTIMO
You shouldn't be learning to configure a bot. You should be looking after your people, which is what you're good at.
It is an AI assistant that answers your restaurant's WhatsApp: hours, address, menu and bookings, at any time and to several people at once. Your team sees every conversation and takes over whenever they want.
Standard $349,000 COP a month (3,000 messages) and Growth $749,000 (7,800 messages), plus a one-off setup fee. Pro is quoted in a call. The full pricing is higher up on this same page.
No. It takes the repeated questions and the after-hours messages. Dealing with the customer and making the calls stays with your people, who are left free to serve, cook and make the customer want to come back.
The whole conversation is kept in the panel, with what they asked and what they thought, and anyone on your team can take over the conversation whenever they want. The assistant answers with your restaurant’s own information; it does not make answers up.
Yes, right here. Paste your website link or your Google Maps listing into the chat on this page, or just describe your business, and in three questions it becomes your restaurant's chatbot. Free, no sign-up.
The demo on this page shows how it looks on WhatsApp and on Instagram. Tell us where your customers write to you and we set it up there.
Yes. It works the same way: what changes is what the assistant knows about your business (menu, hours, events), not how it works.
Yes, if your POS or booking engine has an API. The assistant checks availability, places the booking and pushes it into the system you already use, with nobody copying it by hand. If there is no API it still works: it keeps the diary in the dashboard and your team sees it there.
Every conversation lands in a dashboard where you see what your customers ask, what they think and who to message to bring them back. Nobody knows how many people asked for something that is not on the menu; the dashboard does.
Under construction · not for sale yet
The assistant already knows everything that happens in the chat. What happens once the customer walks through the door, nobody knows — and that is where it is decided whether they come back.

The dashboard you do not have today
example figuresWith this you decide whether you are a waiter short from 8 to 10, which dish to put on the menu and who to message before they go cold. Today that is decided by eye.
None of this exists today. We tell you about it so you know where OTIMO is heading, not because it is for sale. What does work today, and what you can hire, is the WhatsApp assistant on this page. OTIMO Mesa will plug into it once it is ready.
