A chatbot for restaurantsthat takes the order while you cook
Customers already order by chat: a voice note, a half address, “same as last time”. Flowista turns those chats into clean orders on a live board, with the delivery fee worked out and the customer told at every step.
Start taking orders in the chatThe short answer
Flowista lets a restaurant take orders inside WhatsApp, Instagram, Messenger, TikTok and Telegram chats. Its AI agent shows your menu, prices the order with the delivery fee for the customer's area, and places it on a live board your kitchen works from — then tells the customer when it is accepted, on the way and delivered.
Sound familiar?
Orders arrive as messy messages
Voice notes, photos of last week's order, addresses without a building number. Someone has to turn each one into an order by hand.
Rush hour means missed chats
At 8pm the phone, the counter and twenty chats all want you. The chats wait, and a hungry customer orders elsewhere.
Prices and delivery fees by memory
Every quote is typed by hand, so totals differ between staff and the delivery fee depends on who answered.

WhatsApp templates
Order updates still reach customers after WhatsApp's 24-hour window, with an approved template.

Connect WhatsApp, Instagram or Messenger and switch on the ordering agent.
Questions people ask
Do my customers need to download an app?
No. They order in the chat apps they already use: WhatsApp, Instagram, Messenger, TikTok or Telegram.
Does Flowista take payments?
No money moves through Flowista. Each order records how it is paid — cash on delivery, card on delivery, paid already or pay at pickup.
Can it handle several branches?
Yes. A delivery goes to the nearest branch that delivers to the customer's location, and a pickup to the branch they choose. Each branch's staff can see only their own orders.
What if the agent is not sure what the customer means?
It asks rather than guesses — for example which of two similar items they want — and your team can read and take over any chat at any time.
Is it only for restaurants?
No. Cafés, bakeries, pharmacies and supermarkets that deliver use the same menu, zones and board.
