The Indore angle for restaurants

Indore's food culture means restaurants live on WhatsApp orders 20-22 hours a day. Off-hours auto-reply is the difference between capturing late-night orders and losing them.

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.

Language + voice in Indore

Hindi-first; Indore Hindi has distinct intonation. English used in formal commerce.

Doggu's voice agent auto-detects Hindi, English, Malwi and switches mid-conversation if the caller does. WhatsApp templates can be approved in any of the languages your customers actually use.
