Restaurant WhatsApp lead capture — never lose a reservation again

Restaurants get dozens of WhatsApp messages every day — reservations, private events, delivery and catering. Without lead capture, your team replies to anonymous numbers and loses follow-up opportunities. WACapture turns each WhatsApp click into a saved diner record.

Industry pain points

  • ·Unidentified WhatsApp enquiries make follow-up impossible
  • ·No reliable view of which channel (Instagram, Google, flyer, table QR) drives bookings
  • ·Private event and catering enquiries fall through the cracks during service

How customers actually use WhatsApp

Diners use WhatsApp impulsively — between meetings, while browsing Instagram, or after scanning a table QR. They expect a fast reply and rarely send their email unprompted.

Where conversions are lost

By placing a lightweight name and email form before the WhatsApp redirect, your restaurant captures the diner identity at the moment of highest intent.

What lead capture changes

  • Build a private diner database for newsletters and seasonal offers
  • Separate reservation, delivery and event enquiries with multiple widgets
  • Track conversion from table QR to confirmed booking
  • Re-engage no-show enquiries by email

QR code placements that work

  • Table QR for reservations and feedback
  • Window QR for off-hours bookings
  • Menu QR for delivery and catering enquiries
  • Event poster QR for private bookings

What you'll measure

  • Reservations per QR location
  • Top-converting marketing channels
  • Weekly enquiry volume trends
  • Capture rate per widget
