Use case: F&B shops answering WhatsApp FAQ overnight

How a Malaysian café or restaurant can auto-reply hours, menu, parking, and location on WhatsApp — and escalate refunds or special orders to a human.

Who: Café, restaurant, stall, or small F&B brand with a busy WhatsApp.
Goal: Answer the same questions every night without living on the phone — without inventing prices.

Typical inbound messages

  • “Jam berapa buka?”
  • “Ada parking ke?”
  • “Menu / harga pakej?”
  • “Boleh pre-order untuk esok?”
  • “Nak refund deposit…”

The first three are FAQ. The last often needs a human.

How BalasAuto fits

1. Knowledge base

Paste or upload:

  • Opening hours (incl. public holidays if relevant)
  • Location + parking notes
  • Signature packages / price ranges you are willing to state in chat
  • Order / pre-order rules

Or load a demo F&B FAQ pack in the product to try the flow before your real copy is ready.

2. Rules first

  • Out-of-hours: short “we’re closed; here’s tomorrow’s hours”
  • Keywords: harga, menu, parking, buka

3. AI for the rest

Grounded replies in BM & English from your docs — not a generic global bot voice.

4. Takeover

Refunds, complaints, large catering — AI pauses; staff closes in the inbox.

Outcome to aim for

Before After
Owner is the bottleneck at night FAQ answered while you sleep
Copy-paste the same answers One knowledge source
Fear of wrong prices from AI Escalate when uncertain / sensitive
Grey tools risk the number Official Cloud API path

Honest limits (early access)

  • Free-form text in the customer care window is the core path today.
  • Richer media / templates may come later — we do not fake them as live.
  • Always review knowledge accuracy before relying on auto-reply for money-sensitive lines.
