Quick Answer
How can restaurants use WhatsApp to retain customers?
Beejek sends a Smart Reminder to restaurant customers 30 days after their last diner visit — a personalised WhatsApp message that re-engages them before they forget about the restaurant. Combined with seasonal promotion broadcasts, it keeps your dining room consistently full.
How it works — end to end
From the first transaction to a loyal returning customer, every step runs automatically.
Table closes

Also works via Customer Capture
No POS? Staff can initiate the same flow at the counter using Customer Capture — enter the customer's phone number and total, and every step above fires automatically from that moment. Learn about Customer Capture →

The gap in the restaurant customer journey
A restaurant can serve 80 covers on a Friday night and know nothing about 60 of them by Saturday morning. No contact details. No way to follow up. No way to ask if the meal was good. No way to invite them back. The table revenue was collected, but the customer relationship wasn't. Without a systematic engagement layer, restaurants spend constantly on acquiring new customers instead of bringing back the ones who already liked them.
The full engagement lifecycle — stage by stage
Every stage below runs automatically. No manual action required after the initial connection.
When the bill closes
Within 2 secondsThe moment the table bill is closed in your POS, a branded WhatsApp receipt fires — your restaurant logo, the dishes ordered, total, and a permanent receipt link. Delivered before the table has been cleared.
Customer experience
Receipt arrives at the table. Saved for expense claims. Shared in the group chat.
How was the meal?
+2 hoursA WhatsApp NPS survey reaches the diner 2 hours after the bill closes — while the memory is vivid. Scores track by location and date. A restaurant that consistently scores below 7 on Friday nights has a service or kitchen issue that surfaces here before it appears on Google.
Customer experience
Rates the experience quickly. Feels personal — the restaurant asked before Google did.
Happy diners get your Google link
Day 1 — if NPS ≥ 9Diners who rate 9 or 10 receive your Google Business Profile review link the next day. Unhappy diners never see it. Restaurant Google ratings are one of the top discovery signals for new diners — every review compounds.
Customer experience
Gets a warm thank-you message. Review link follows. Leaves a 5-star review in under a minute.
30-day win-back

Frequently asked questions — Restaurants & Dining
Yes — Beejek needs the diner's phone number to deliver the WhatsApp receipt. For dine-in, the phone number can be collected at reservation or at the table. For takeaway and delivery orders, it's typically already captured. Encouraging cashiers to collect phone numbers increases receipt delivery coverage.
Yes. Beejek processes any POS transaction where a phone number is attached — dine-in, takeaway, and delivery all trigger the same WhatsApp receipt and automation sequence.
Yes. Beejek supports multiple locations under one account. Each location can have its own Google review link, its own branding, and its own analytics. Multi-location restaurant groups see per-venue NPS and retention data in a single dashboard.
Yes. Each Beejek store is configured with its own Google Business Profile review link. Diners from a specific location are sent to that location's Google listing.
Yes. NPS scores are timestamped and visible in the Beejek dashboard. A restaurant that consistently gets lower NPS on Friday evenings can identify the pattern — and investigate kitchen capacity, service speed, or staffing before it compounds.
Beejek's templates are per-merchant — one language is configured per store. For multi-language audiences, Arabic and English templates can both be submitted and the routing set per merchant account. Contact the Beejek team for multi-language configuration.
Beejek only sends messages when a phone number is captured. Cash diners who don't provide a number are not contacted. Encouraging cashiers to collect phone numbers — even for cash transactions — increases your reachable customer base over time.
Smart Reminder templates are pre-approved by Meta and send from fixed template content — they can't dynamically reference a specific order. The message is warm and personalised with the customer's name, but doesn't include order history details.
