Your New Invisible Cashier
Keychat replaces clunky websites and apps with the tool your customers already use 50x a day: WhatsApp.
1. Scan or Tap
Customers scan a QR code at the table or tap a link on your social media.
2. Order in Chat
They view your full menu and order instantly inside WhatsApp. No sign-ups. No downloads.
3. Secure Payment
Tokenized card payment happens upfront. Say goodbye to "No-Shows".
4. You Get the Order
Orders arrive directly on your dashboard or POS. Your staff focuses on cooking, not talking.
Why Restaurants Switch to Keychat
Concrete benefits, not abstract features. See exactly how Keychat impacts your bottom line.
Keep Your Margin
Zero middle-man tax. You pay a small transaction fee, not a slice of your revenue.
Own Your Growth
Every order starts with a verified phone number. Build a database you actually own and broadcast promotions directly to their inbox.
Faster Than a Phone Call
Process orders 35% faster than voice calls. Increase table turnover and reduce staff stress.
Ready to reclaim your profits?
We handle the menus, payments, and workflows. You just turn it on.
Keep the 30% Commission You Are Currently Handing to Food Apps.
Stop donating a massive chunk of your hard-earned revenue to third-party apps. Reclaim that 30% commission and reinvest it directly into your business growth.
Cut Order Processing Time by 50%.
Automating your order flow eliminates manual entry errors and speeds up kitchen prep. Process twice the volume in the same amount of time.
Get 20% More Orders. Keep 100% of the Profit.
Increasing your order volume shouldn't mean sacrificing your margins. With our system, you capture 20% more orders while retaining every single cent of the profit.
End the Lunch Rush Phone Chaos.
Eliminate the noise of ringing phones during peak hours. Digital ordering lets you handle double the volume seamlessly, turning chaos into streamlined efficiency.
Stop Renting Access to Your Own Diners. Own the Data, Keep the Customer.
Third-party apps guard your customer data, forcing you to rent access to people who already love your food. Take back control, build your own database, and market directly to your diners.
Convert 3x More Visitors.
Friction kills sales, but WhatsApp ordering removes the barrier. Turn casual browsers into loyal regulars by making it effortless for them to get their favorite meal again.
Let Your Customers Re-Order Their Favorite Meal in 10 Seconds Flat.
A hunger strike can be solved in seconds. Customers can pull up their history and re-order their go-to dish instantly, satisfying their craving in under ten seconds.
Running a Restaurant is Hard Enough
Between the kitchen chaos and the dinner rush, you don't have time for technology that eats your margins and loses your customer data.
The Heartbreak of No-Shows
It hurts to prepare food that never gets picked up. Without upfront payment, you bear all the risk. And when the day ends, that walk-in data disappears forever.
Chaos in the Kitchen
Taking orders over a busy phone line is a recipe for mistakes. Unhappy customers and wasted food shouldn't be the cost of doing business.
Websites Kill Appetite
Your customers are on their phones, but traditional websites are clunky and slow. Don't make it hard for hungry people to give you money.
Buried in Admin
You didn't open a restaurant to answer phones. Free your staff from the front desk so they can focus on creating amazing experiences for diners.
Flying Blind
If you don't own your data, you can't build loyalty. Stop letting third-party platforms gatekeep your most valuable asset: your relationship with your regulars.
Giving Away Your Margin
It hurts to hand over 30% of your hard-earned revenue. Stop renting your customers from aggregators and start building your own direct channel.
Why Restaurants Choose Keychat
Streamline operations, own your customer data, and save money with an all-in-one message-based platform.
Instant Service
Customers get helped instantly inside WhatsApp without waiting or downloading new apps.
Verified Customer Data
Every order starts with a phone number. Build a complete profile and history from the first 'Hello'.
Zero Staff Waiting
Stop answering phones. Automate the ordering process in chat so staff can focus on the floor.
Top of Mind
You live in their WhatsApp inbox. Re-ordering is frictionless and keeps you top-of-mind.

Card details are tokenized securely. The next order is just a simple one-tap checkout.
