The Jalandhar angle for restaurants

Jalandhar's sports goods exporters need multilingual WhatsApp catalogs (Punjabi, Hindi, English, sometimes Spanish for Latin American buyers); fragmented inboxes lose international orders.

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.
