The Cuttack angle for restaurants

Cuttack's Bali Yatra (8-day fair in November) generates 10× normal commerce volume; without scheduled WhatsApp campaigns and capacity templates, SMBs run out of stock and lose pre-booked customers.

Zomato/Swiggy take 25-30% commission

On a ₹500 order, you keep ₹350-375. Direct WhatsApp orders keep 100% (less ~2% Razorpay fees). For a 2,000-order/month restaurant, that's ₹2-3 lakh of recovered margin.

Reservations live in a paper diary

Reservations get double-booked, lost, forgotten. The host fields phone calls, then writes in a notebook. Walk-ins fight with reservations at 8pm Saturday.

Repeat customers are anonymous

Loyal customers come back monthly but you don't know what they like, when they last visited, or how to bring them back when they lapse. No customer database.

Odia-first; Hindi in trade; English limited outside formal sectors.
