Restaurants & Cloud Kitchens

Own your customers instead of renting them from an aggregator.

Every order through a delivery app costs you commission and hides who your customer is. Squarebox takes direct orders and reservations on WhatsApp, keeps the customer list yours, and brings regulars back without paying for them twice.

The daily reality

What this looks like before automation

If more than two of these are true for you, WhatsApp automation pays for itself well before the end of the first month.

  • Aggregator commission eats a large slice of every single order.
  • You never learn who your repeat customers are or what they like.
  • Reservation calls come in exactly when the floor is busiest.
  • Marketing means paying the same platform again to reach your own customers.
  • Order status questions interrupt the kitchen during peak hours.

What we build for you

The flows we set up for restaurants & cloud kitchens

These are configured during onboarding using your own data, not handed to you as an empty template.

Direct ordering in chat

The full menu, customisations and a payment link inside WhatsApp, so repeat customers order from you rather than from an app.

Table reservations

Guests check availability, book a table and receive a confirmation and reminder without anyone leaving the floor.

A customer list you own

Every order builds a first-party profile — favourite dishes, order frequency, average spend — that no platform can take away.

Win-back and offer campaigns

Automatically reach guests who have not ordered in 30 days, or push a weekday offer to people who only visit on weekends.

Order and delivery updates

Accepted, cooking, out for delivery, delivered — the kitchen stops fielding status questions.

Feedback capture

A short feedback ask after every order routes unhappy guests to a manager before they become a public review.

What changes

Before and after integrating Squarebox

The point of automation is not that you have a chatbot. It is that these specific things stop costing you money.

Direct WhatsApp orders carry no platform commission

What you will actually notice

  • Repeat customers order directly and you keep the commission.
  • You know who your regulars are and what they order.
  • The floor team stops answering the reservation phone mid-service.
  • Quiet weeknights get filled by targeted offers instead of discounting to everyone.
  • Unhappy guests reach a manager before they reach a review site.

We were paying twice — commission to get the order, then ads to reach the same customer again. Now the regulars message us directly and we know exactly what they like.
