What an owner needs during service

Voice notes while your hands are busy

Send a voice note: “remove the salmon”, “mark the cheesecake sold out”, “create today’s special”. Gaston understands and executes.

Real dish photo

Send a photo with a caption and Gaston creates the product with that image as the main photo, description included.

Written board or menu

Photograph the daily board and Gaston imports it as real dishes in the active menu, with allergens detected.

Scheduled updates

“Tomorrow at 9 raise the Carbonara” is saved. Gaston runs it on time and messages you on WhatsApp.

Key questions

What exactly can Gaston do on WhatsApp?+

The same as in the dashboard: menu management, AI photos and descriptions, allergens and tags, promos, client menu styling, PDF and QR, reservations, orders and tables, and analytics. 100+ functions by chat.

Is this WhatsApp for guests?+

No. This page is about the owner channel: managing the restaurant from WhatsApp. Guest WhatsApp is a separate product line.

Do I need to install an app?+

No. It’s your normal WhatsApp. Link your number once from IAMenu and message Gaston like any contact.

Does it work with multiple restaurants?+

Yes. A group or hotel switches restaurants inside the chat: “switch me to Trattoria Milano”. Gaston operates each menu separately, with each user’s permissions.

Can it delete things by mistake?+

No. Destructive actions use deterministic confirmations: a typed “yes” is not enough to delete. Every change is logged.

Does it work with voice and photos?+

Yes. Voice notes for quick orders, a dish photo to create the product, and a photo of the board or written menu to import dishes with allergens detected.

Your restaurant changes during service. So should your menu.

IAMenu turns WhatsApp into your restaurant’s remote control. If you can chat, you already know how to use it.
