Why caterers miss bookings during service hours
The kitchen is busiest when customers message. BOKBOK message reply shares published menus, package types, and how to request a quote so leads do not go to another caterer.
- Menu packages: office tiffin, wedding, birthday, corporate
- Minimum order and advance-booking rules
- Delivery or setup areas
- How to share date, headcount, and contact details
Share menu photos in chat
BOKBOK image sending can share platter photos. Image understanding helps when a client sends a reference menu they want you to match.
Tip: Do not let the bot confirm a date that might already be booked. Collect the request and let staff confirm in Human mode.
