Everything you need to grow your local business
batao.ai gives restaurants, clinics and salons in India a complete marketing system — WhatsApp campaigns, loyalty programs, referral tracking, Google review collection and AI-powered local SEO — built to work together in one platform.
Reach every customer directly on WhatsApp
WhatsApp has a 95%+ open rate in India — compared to 15–20% for email and less than 5% for social media posts. When you send a message on WhatsApp, it gets read. batao.ai's campaign system lets you send personalised, targeted WhatsApp messages to your entire customer base in minutes — without needing a WhatsApp Business API account or technical setup.
Unlike generic broadcast tools, batao.ai segments your audience automatically. You can send a happy hour offer only to customers who haven't visited in 30 days, a birthday discount only to customers whose birthdays fall this week, or a new menu announcement to your top spenders. Every message is personalised with the customer's name and tailored to their visit history.
How it works
1. Upload or sync your customer contact list — or let batao.ai build it automatically as customers join your loyalty programme through WhatsApp
2. Choose your campaign type: promotional offer, re-engagement message, seasonal announcement, or event invite
3. Set your audience filter: all customers, lapsed customers (30/60/90 days), top spenders, or birthday this month
4. Write your message or choose from batao.ai's proven templates — personalisation tags like {{name}} and {{last_visit}} are filled automatically
5. Schedule or send immediately — batao.ai handles delivery and tracks open rates, link clicks, and redemptions
What you can measure
Every campaign shows you open rate, click rate, redemption rate, and estimated revenue generated. You'll know exactly which offer brought in how many customers — something that's impossible to track with offline promotions or social media posts.

Welcome to [Restaurant] loyalty! 🎉 You've earned 50 points on your first visit.
Hi Priya! You now have 340 points at [Restaurant]. You're 160 points away from a ₹100 reward!
🏆 Congratulations! You've earned a ₹100 reward. Use code REWARD100 on your next visit before 30 May.
Turn one-time visitors into regulars with a WhatsApp loyalty programme
Acquiring a new customer costs 5 to 7 times more than retaining an existing one. Yet most local businesses in India have no system for keeping customers coming back — they rely entirely on the customer remembering to return. batao.ai's loyalty programme changes this by giving customers a concrete, personalised reason to choose your business again.
The programme runs entirely through WhatsApp — no app download required for your customers, no POS integration required for your business. Customers join by scanning a QR code or sending a WhatsApp message, and they start earning points immediately. batao.ai handles all the tracking, communication, and reward delivery automatically.
How the loyalty programme works
1. Customer visits and scans your QR code — they send a WhatsApp message to opt in and are immediately enrolled with a welcome message and starting points
2. Points are added automatically after each visit — based on spend, visit count, or fixed points per visit (you choose the structure)
3. batao.ai sends automatic WhatsApp updates: balance reminders, milestone celebrations ('You've earned your first reward!'), and expiry nudges
4. When a customer reaches their reward threshold, they receive a redemption message with a unique code to use on their next visit
5. You see everything in your dashboard: enrolled members, active vs lapsed, average points balance, top customers, and redemption rates
Loyalty programme types
Points-based
Customers earn X points per ₹100 spent. Best for restaurants and cafes with consistent transaction values.
Milestone rewards
Customers unlock rewards at visit milestones (5th visit, 10th visit). Best for salons and clinics.
Cashback
A % of every transaction returns as credit. Simple, transparent, high perceived value.
Proven results
Businesses using batao.ai's loyalty module typically see a 40–60% increase in repeat visit rate within the first 90 days. Enrolled loyalty members spend an average of 28% more per visit than non-enrolled customers — because they're thinking about earning their next reward with every order.
Turn happy customers into your best source of new customers
Word of mouth is the most trusted form of marketing in India — 92% of consumers trust recommendations from people they know more than any advertisement. But traditional word of mouth is invisible, untrackable, and impossible to scale. batao.ai's referral system makes word of mouth systematic: every happy customer gets a unique referral link, every referred visit is tracked, and every reward is delivered automatically.
The referral programme is two-sided — both the person making the referral and the new customer who arrives receive a reward. This removes the social awkwardness of recommending a business for personal gain and makes sharing feel natural. When your customer sends their referral link on a family WhatsApp group, both sides win.
How the referral system works
1. Every enrolled loyalty member automatically receives a unique referral link — trackable to that specific customer, shareable via WhatsApp, Instagram, or any messaging app
2. When a friend uses the link to visit, the visit is recorded against the referrer's account automatically — no manual verification needed
3. Both the referrer and the new customer receive their reward via WhatsApp: a discount, loyalty points, or a complimentary item
4. The referrer can see their referral count and earned rewards in real time — this visibility keeps them engaged and motivated to share more
5. You see total referrals sent, click-through rate, visit conversion rate, and new customers acquired through referrals — all in your dashboard
Why referral works better than paid ads for local businesses
A well-run referral programme acquires new customers at ₹100–200 per visit (the reward cost) with a 40–60% conversion rate. Instagram ads for restaurants in India cost ₹3,000–20,000 per new customer visit at 2–5% conversion. Referred customers also have a 25% higher lifetime value — they arrive with a positive pre-existing association with your business.

To see ranking improvement
Automatically collect Google reviews after every visit
Your Google star rating is often the first thing a potential customer sees — and it directly determines whether they choose you or your competitor. Restaurants with 4.5+ stars and 100+ reviews get 2.7x more clicks on Google Maps than those with fewer reviews. Yet most businesses rely on customers remembering to leave a review on their own. They rarely do — not because they don't want to, but because the friction is too high.
batao.ai eliminates that friction entirely. After every customer visit, the system automatically sends a personalised WhatsApp message with a direct link to your Google review form. One tap takes the customer straight to the review page — no searching, no navigating, no extra steps. And because customers who complete a review earn loyalty points, completion rates are dramatically higher than any other review collection method.
The review collection flow
1. Customer visits and is enrolled in your batao.ai loyalty programme
2. 30 minutes after their visit (configurable), they receive a personalised WhatsApp message: 'Hi [Name]! Thanks for visiting [Business] today. We'd love your feedback — tap here to leave us a Google review and earn 50 loyalty points 🌟 [direct link]'
3. One tap opens the Google review form directly — no searching required
4. Customer leaves a review and earns their loyalty points automatically
5. You receive a notification of the new review and can respond directly from your Google Business Profile
Beyond collection — profile optimisation
Review velocity (how frequently you receive new reviews) is one of Google's three key local ranking signals. batao.ai ensures you always have a steady stream of fresh reviews coming in — which signals to Google that your business is active, popular, and trustworthy. Combined with a complete Google Business Profile, this drives meaningful improvement in your local search ranking within 60–90 days.
Get found by customers searching for businesses like yours on Google
When someone searches "restaurants near me" or "best salon in Koramangala", Google decides which businesses appear at the top of the results based on three factors: relevance (how well your profile matches the search), distance (how close you are to the searcher), and prominence (how well-known and trusted Google thinks you are). You can't change your location. batao.ai works on the other two.
batao.ai's AI SEO module analyses your Google Business Profile, identifies gaps and opportunities, and gives you a prioritised action list to improve your local search ranking. It tracks your ranking position for key local queries, monitors your review count and rating trajectory, and shows you how your visibility changes week by week.

The compounding effect
Local SEO improvements compound over time. Each new Google review strengthens your prominence score. A complete profile improves relevance. As you climb the local rankings, more customers find you organically — without paying for ads. Businesses that start this system early create a competitive advantage that is very difficult for latecomers to close.
Fill slow periods and drive footfall with instant, trackable offers
Every business has slow periods — Tuesday lunches, mid-afternoon lulls, the week after a long weekend. Instant Offers lets you turn those slow periods into revenue opportunities in under five minutes. Create a time-limited offer, set your audience, and send it directly to your customers on WhatsApp — where it will actually be seen.
Unlike Zomato or Swiggy promotions, batao.ai offers are sent directly to your own customer base — people who have already chosen your business before. There's no platform fee, no commission, and no dilution of your brand. You own the customer relationship and the data.
Types of offers you can create
Happy Hour Offers
Set time-limited discounts for off-peak hours. 'Buy 1 get 1 on all beverages 3–6pm today.' Drive traffic during your slowest hours.
Festival & Seasonal Offers
Create themed offers for Diwali, Holi, New Year, Eid, or any occasion. Pre-schedule them in advance and send automatically.
Corporate & Group Offers

Flash Sales

Tracking that proves ROI
Every offer includes a unique redemption code. batao.ai tracks how many customers received the offer, how many clicked, how many redeemed it, and the total revenue generated. You'll never wonder whether a promotion worked — you'll know exactly.
