The Problem

You're losing lakhs
every single month.

Every order on delivery apps silently drains your margins. Here's what it's actually costing you.

40–50%

What you actually pay

The headline rate is 18–30%. Add platform marketing and hidden fees and the real take is closer to 40–50% of every order, gone before food, rent, or staff.

0

Customer data you own

You never know who ordered. No names, no numbers. Your best customers are loyal to the platform, not to you.

∞

Manual WhatsApp chaos

Handling orders by hand on WhatsApp means missed orders, confused staff, and zero automation at peak hours.

50 orders/day × ₹400 avg × 30% commission = ₹1.8 lakh lost every month. And the real take is often higher. WAO helps you recover it.

ROI

10 direct orders/day changes everything.

Just a few direct orders a day is a fraction of your current volume, but the math adds up fast. Tap your daily order count to see it. And this is only the commission saving. Add repeat customers and it multiplies.

WAO pays for itself in week one.

FAQ

Common questions.

Do I need to leave delivery apps?
No. WAO works alongside your existing delivery platforms. Keep your delivery-app presence while building your own profitable direct channel. Over time, as direct orders grow, you can reduce platform dependency.
How do customers find my WhatsApp link?
We give you a short link and QR code. Add it to your Instagram bio, Google Business profile, packaging, table cards, and receipts. Customers tap or scan. That's it.
Can I send bulk offers to my customers?
Yes, this is one of WAO's most powerful features. Send WhatsApp broadcast campaigns to your entire customer list: festive offers, new items, weekend specials. Your competitors on the delivery apps can't do this.
How fast is setup?
Most restaurants go live within 24 hours. We train the AI on your menu. You handle nothing technical.
Is this WhatsApp-approved and legal?
Yes. WAO uses the official WhatsApp Business API. Fully compliant, fully authorized. No risk to your account.
Do you handle delivery?
Right now WAO is for direct ordering and pickup. Your food is ready the moment your customer arrives. Delivery integration with third-party logistics is on our near-term roadmap. Most restaurants we work with either offer pickup discounts to start, use their own delivery, or pair WAO with a local last-mile partner.
What if my staff misses an order?
We treat missed orders as the worst failure mode and design hard against it. Every order is instantly confirmed to the customer and pushed to your WhatsApp owner chat with one-tap Accept and Reject buttons. Nothing to monitor, nothing to refresh. POS integration is on our roadmap.
W

We're building WAO because the restaurants we love are working harder than ever and keeping less of every order. WhatsApp is already where their customers live. If you're a restaurant owner in India tired of renting your customers from the marketplaces, we'd genuinely love to hear from you.
