How to turn WhatsApp followers into repeat diners (without spam)

WhatsApp is personal. The brands that win treat it like a concierge line, not a billboard. In Singapore’s F&B scene, short windows—lunch sets, rainy-day promos, last-table Friday—work when the message feels timely and skimmable.

Three rules

• One CTA per message — reserve table, claim deal, or reply with a number—not all three.
• Send when it helps — 11:30am lunch nudge beats a generic Monday blast.
• Reward opt-in — first-time subscribers get a clear perk; unsubscribes must be one tap.
