SaveMenu vs a WhatsApp Business catalog
A WhatsApp Business catalog is free and lives inside WhatsApp: you add each product by hand, guests open your catalog in WhatsApp and send their cart in a chat. SaveMenu is a QR menu that opens in any browser, built from one photo of your menu. Orders can still arrive on your WhatsApp, as a ready-made message with dishes and total, or go to a kitchen display.
