Each one lands in your shared inbox with the customer's name, so whoever has a moment can answer it in your business's name while the rest of the team sees who did. - Do you have a table for four at 8 tonight? - Can you send me the menu? - Is the kitchen open after 11? - Can we bring a birthday cake? ## How GoPromoteNow helps a restaurant Four features carry most conversations at a restaurant, and each links to its own page with the help answers that explain it. None needs anything installed: your team works in the browser on a computer, tablet or phone, from your own business number, with customers seeing your business name. [The menu as one link — Put dishes or set menus in the catalog with photos, share the public page as one link, and send items as a list the diner taps.

If yours is different, the help centre has more than a hundred answers, our team will walk you through it on a demo call, or you can chat with us on WhatsApp right away. ### Can people order food through it? They can ask, and your team takes the order in the conversation, using the items in your catalog. GoPromoteNow does not run a kitchen or delivery system, so orders go into whatever you use today; the inbox keeps every diner’s request in one place for the whole team to see. ### Will diners get messages from us late at night? Not from a Broadcast: those wait for quiet hours to end and go out at 9 am in your workspace’s time zone. Your own replies inside a conversation go when you send them, and the away message answers diners who write while you are closed.
