Orders and WhatsApp Flow

Delivery expectations without chaos
Run calmer delivery chats
Collect address details once, confirm fees or areas up front, and update guests when the order leaves. Silence creates duplicate chats.
In 30 seconds
- Publish delivery areas or minimums where guests will see them.
- Use a template that captures address, landmark, and phone.
- Send an on-the-way update when the order leaves.
