Omea
For home cooks and caterers who sell on WhatsApp

Share your menu in WhatsApp. Get neat orders back.

Omea turns today's menu into one order link for your group. Customers tap it, pick their dishes and they're done. You get a clean list of who ordered what, how much to cook, and who has paid. Party and catering trays work the same way. No more counting messages.

Party & catering orders

Trays for birthdays, poojas and get-togethers

Besides your daily menu, give customers one permanent party link. They choose the date, meal, pickup time and trays, and send you a request. Nothing is final until you accept it.

Set up once · party menu

Paste the menu you already send on WhatsApp

Omea reads "half $60 full $110", "50 for $40" and "$1 each", and sorts dishes into sections. Fix any price with a tap, give a whole section the same price in one go, and set your booking rules: notice days, pickup hours for breakfast, lunch and dinner, and days you're closed.

Questions

Good to know

Do my customers need to download anything?

No. They tap the link in your WhatsApp group, choose dishes, and enter their name and WhatsApp number. Their phone remembers them next time.

Do I need WhatsApp Business?

No. Omea works with your normal WhatsApp and the group you already have. You post the menu yourself, the same way you do today.

How do customers pay?

Directly to you: cash at pickup, Zelle, Venmo or whatever you already use. You mark each order paid with one tap, and Omea shows who still owes money.

What if I run out of a dish?

Set a portion limit and Omea stops taking orders for that dish when it's gone, showing "sold out" to customers. You can also switch a dish to sold out at any time.

Can customers change or cancel their order?

Yes, by opening the same link on the phone they ordered from. You can also change items for them from your Orders screen.

Can I take party or catering orders?

Yes. Choose "Party orders" or "Both" for your kitchen, paste your party menu, set your booking rules and share your party link. Customers send a request with the date, meal, pickup time and trays; you accept or decline it.

Can customers change a party order?

Yes, online until your notice period (for example 2 days before the event). A changed order comes back to you to confirm again, and Omea keeps track of any balance to collect or refund to give back.

What happens at the order deadline?

New orders close automatically at the time you set, and your cooking list is ready to go.

Can I use it on a computer too?

Yes. Omea is designed for your phone first, and works just as well in a browser on a laptop.

How do I get started?

Tap "Start free", sign in with Google or email, and enter your kitchen's name and pickup place. The Omea team checks every new kitchen and emails you when you're approved. Then prepare your first menu and share it to your group. The 4-minute video shows every step.

Where do I get help?

In Omea, open More → Help & ideas. There are quick answers to common questions, and you can ask for help (with a screenshot) or suggest an improvement. We reply there and by email.
