The short answer
Peak hour: the phone rings, the kitchen shouts, and ten WhatsApp messages ask "Do you deliver to Marina?" and "table for four at nine?". Whoever is not answered within minutes orders from the app — and you pay its commission.
A Dubai restaurant pays delivery apps a commission on every order, while its regulars write to it directly in English and Arabic. The bot sends the menu, takes the order with the address, books the table, and answers at peak hour when nobody picks up the phone.

What is different about UAE restaurants specifically
The same sector in another country is another problem. These are the differences that actually change the setup — not the country name in the title:
And the steps the bot walks through
- Sends the menu and takes the order
The menu with photos and prices, chosen inside the conversation — and it totals the order.
- Asks the questions that ruin orders
Spicy or not, extras, an exact address, delivery time — all before it reaches the kitchen.
- Books the table
Party size and time, a confirmation and a reminder — and the restaurant knows who is coming.
- Re-opens the list you already have
A Friday offer or a new dish goes to people who already ordered — through an approved template with consent, not a bought list.
And what it costs
Two numbers: the platform subscription and Meta's per-conversation fee. And across our 21,667 measured conversations, 71% cost nothing — a service conversation the customer starts is free, and so is one arriving from an ad.

Questions from people in your position
Does it replace delivery apps?
It does not replace discovering new customers there; it replaces paying commission on your own customers who know you and write to you. Menu and ordering on WhatsApp in detail.
How does the order reach the kitchen?
It shows in the orders inbox on the restaurant's screen and in the app, with items, address and the customer's number; its status changes with a tap and the customer receives "preparing" and "on the way".
What do messages cost?
Replying to whoever wrote first is free — most restaurant messages. An order-status update you start to an Emirati number is $0.0157 in our measurement. The detail in dirhams.
