How the use of WhatsApp Business API is helping Restaurants and Dark Kitchens in maintaining and growing(!) their business during the COVID-19 Pandemic
Sanitary and hygiene concerns are at an all-time high due to the extended COVID-19 pandemic.
One of the most impacted industries by these new sanitary worries and related friction is the food industry.
Popular restaurants and those that need to continue to maintain their customer base, need to think of an efficient and easy way for customers to order their favourite food – during and after the COVID-19 pandemic.
Most people find downloading multiple apps cumbersome, which makes messaging services such as WhatsApp the perfect communication platform to connect customers with restaurants and Dark Kitchens (DK).
WhatsApp has become the leading messaging app globally due to its low-cost, easy-to-use interface and extendibility to use APIs to connect with external systems.
With the launch of WhatsApp Business API, businesses around the world are starting to see the benefits of establishing a chat-based channel for connecting with and engaging their customers.
Communicating via WhatsApp is immediate, more personal, and international in reach. Moreover, it is secured by the end-to-end encryption thus providing assurance of its use by businesses and customers. If used in the right way, WhatsApp messaging can elevate your restaurant’s communication to a whole new level of engagement.
In keeping with our planned innovation, UCS has now launched Reson8 WhatsApp API! Using this new feature, you can use Reson8 to connect with your customers using WhatsApp, create direct relationships with your customers, reward your loyal clients and grow your customer base!
