About the Company

This Cantonese restaurant has established itself as one of the top choices for customers seeking authentic Chinese cuisine in Guatemala. In addition to the in-restaurant experience, a fundamental part of its operation depends on takeout orders, delivery, and reservation management handled through WhatsApp and Instagram.

The Challenge

Lai Lai, a Cantonese restaurant in Guatemala, received hundreds of orders, reservations, and inquiries through WhatsApp and Instagram simultaneously. Without a centralized platform, messages were lost across different devices, orders were duplicated, and it was impossible to monitor service quality.

The Solution with Reach

• Centralization of WhatsApp and Instagram into a single shared inbox
• Automatic conversation assignment based on workload
• Real-time supervision with reassignment during peak hours
• Integrated Smartlinks to collect delivery payments directly in chat
• Customer satisfaction analysis with quality reports

Results in Numbers

• 143,284 conversations handled in one year
• Response time reduced from 10 minutes to 3 minutes
• 88.5% response rate and 72.3% resolution rate
• 36,980 new customers and 33,936 returning customers identified
• More than 1.3 million messages managed

Applicable industry: Restaurants, delivery services, and businesses that receive orders through WhatsApp.

This case demonstrates how Reach Tools helps restaurants in Guatemala centralize WhatsApp, reduce response times, and turn conversations into measurable operational efficiency.
