Tip 1: Provide parking or direction tips in your chatbot #

When filling in your chatbot location messages, provide a clear and accurate location setup helps customers find your restaurant easily. You can provide Google Maps directions along with parking guidance. For example if your restaurant is in a high-traffic area, help customers by providing:

✔ Adding nearby parking spots (e.g., “Parking available at XYZ Building, RM3/hour”).
✔ Mentioning free parking hours (e.g., “Free after 6 PM”).
✔ Informing about valet or reserved spots if available.

Example:

    • A Steakhouse in a busy district includes: “Best parking at XYZ Mall, 5-min walk.”
    • A Drive-Thru Coffee Shop provides: “Parking available for 10 minutes in front of the store.”

Below is the example of whatsapp chatbot customer’s interaction for restaurant’s address.
