You cook from home. You take orders on WhatsApp. You can't do 50 a day, but you can do 20. WhatsMenu gives you the catalog, pre-order window, daily caps, and structured order flow that turn a home kitchen into a real online business — without a commercial license.
Five frictions specific to running a food business out of your home kitchen.
Twenty messages a day, half about menu questions, half ordering. You scroll up to find what someone said yesterday. Order details get lost. The pickup time misremembered. Payment chase by chat.
You can prep for 20 customers a day. The 21st message arrives at 9pm; you turn them away after they've already imagined their dinner. You feel bad; they feel bad.
You cook Wednesday and Saturday. The rest of the week customers still message asking. You manually reply "we're closed" twenty times.
Some customers come to pick up. Some want delivery via Lalamove. Some want their friend to fetch. Without a structured flow, every order has a clarifying chat about WHERE.
Bento boxes minimum 5. Soup sold by the pot, not the bowl. Some items need 24 hours notice. You enforce these rules in chat — every single time.
Five features that move you from chat-chaos to structured orders.
Cap orders at 20 per Wednesday and 20 per Saturday. Once the cap hits, the storefront shows "fully booked for this date." No more 9pm awkward turn-aways.
Learn more →Set Wednesday and Saturday as orderable; everything else greyed out. Customers see the next available date — they don't message asking when, they just see.
Learn more →Per item: pickup or delivery? If delivery, address. If pickup, what time? Required field for orders below 5 bento boxes — "this is a minimum-5 item." Structured at checkout, no clarifying chat.
Learn more →Regular WhatsApps you a share-cart link asking for the usual plus an extra portion. You confirm in chat, they pay via the cart link, the order joins your structured flow. Best of both worlds.
Learn more →Share your storefront link in your WhatsApp Business broadcast. Customers tap, browse, order. The structured order arrives in WhatsApp; you cook it. They're still ordering "via WhatsApp" — you just get clean data.
Learn more →Sunday evening you set Wednesday's menu — 5 bento options, capped at 20 orders total. Schedule shows orders open Sunday 6pm through Tuesday midnight. Tuesday by 9pm the cap hits — storefront flips to "Wednesday fully booked, next date Saturday." Wednesday morning you have a clean order list — 20 customers, each with their bento choice, pickup vs delivery, address, pickup time. Cook, pack, hand out. Saturday repeats. No 9pm regret messages, no chasing payment, no clarifying "where" chats.
Yes. Daily Limit caps total orders per day; Scheduled Availability blocks the days you don't cook. Set Wednesday and Saturday as orderable, capped at 20 each. Other days are greyed out — customers see "next available: Wednesday."
No. WhatsMenu doesn't require any license — it's an online catalog and order tool. Whether YOU need a license depends on your country's home-business rules; WhatsMenu doesn't add any compliance layer either way.
Yes — you can configure WhatsApp Ordering mode where the cart converts to a structured WhatsApp message. Same data, just delivered via chat instead of order email.
Use Custom Item Fields to add a "pickup or delivery" field at checkout. If delivery, ask for address. If pickup, ask for time slot. All structured, no chat clarification.
Yes — set a minimum quantity per item or a minimum total order value. The cart enforces it at checkout. No more "actually we don't do single bentos."
Both options. Connect Stripe / FPX / e-wallet for online payment, or accept cash on pickup / delivery. Many home cooks prefer cash on pickup; others want online to avoid the chase.
