A WhatsApp QR code opens a chat with your number and can pre-fill the first message, so customers can order, book or ask without saving your number first.

## Steps

1. Enter your number in international format, digits only (for example 447700900123).
2. Optionally add a first message such as 'Hi, I'd like to book a table'.
3. Download and print it on flyers, menus and delivery bags.

**Recommended size:** 25 mm and up.

## Tips

- Use a WhatsApp Business number so you can set away messages and quick replies.

## Common mistakes

- Leading zeros or a plus sign in the wrong place. Use the full international number without the leading 0 of your local code.

## Frequently asked questions

### Does the customer need to save my number?

No. The code opens a chat window directly using WhatsApp's official wa.me link.
