YourKitchenIsIncredible—ButNobodyFindsYouWhenTheySearch"BestRestaurantNearMe"
You pour everything into food quality, but Zomato takes 25-30% of every delivery order and your Google listing has 15 reviews while the new cafe down the road has 400. If your restaurant, cafe, or cloud kitchen in Kerala is bleeding margins to aggregators, that is a problem we fix.
You started this business because you love food. The flavours are authentic, the quality is consistent, and your regulars swear by your cooking. But Zomato and Swiggy are eating your margins alive — 25-30% commission on every delivery order. Your dine-in depends on walk-ins and word-of-mouth, but every new cafe and restaurant opening in Kochi, Thiruvananthapuram, or Kozhikode chips away at your share. Catering companies are losing events to competitors who show up better on Google and Instagram. Cloud kitchens face the double challenge of zero walk-in traffic and total platform dependency. With 1,600+ projects and nearly two decades of experience, Haben helps food and beverage businesses in Kerala build direct customer channels — so you keep your margins, own your customer relationships, and stop paying rent to aggregators for customers who should be yours.
CHALLENGES
Key Food & Beverage Challenges
Obstacles facing growing food & beverage businesses — and how to overcome them.
Aggregator Commissions Are Destroying Your Margins
Zomato and Swiggy take 25-30% of every order. After food costs, packaging, and delivery, your actual profit per order is thin enough to make you question the whole model. But you cannot afford to turn off aggregator listings because that is where customers discover you. You need direct ordering channels that work — not an app nobody downloads.
Your Google Reviews Are Losing the Battle
The new cafe that opened six months ago has 400 Google reviews. You have been here for years and have 50 — including three negative ones sitting at the top. In Kerala, where customers compare options extensively before choosing where to eat, your review count and rating directly determine whether someone walks in or drives past.
Catering Leads Dry Up Between Seasons
Wedding season keeps you busy, but the rest of the year your catering business depends on random corporate inquiries and word-of-mouth. You have no system for generating consistent catering leads, no content targeting "catering services Kochi" or "wedding caterer Kerala," and no automated follow-up for past event clients.
SOLUTIONS
How Haben Solves Food & Beverage Challenges
AI-powered solutions for growing food & beverage businesses.
Direct Ordering Through WhatsApp
We build WhatsApp Business ordering systems with digital menus, Razorpay payment links, and automated order confirmations. Your delivery customers order directly — you keep the full margin. WhatsApp has 95%+ penetration in Kerala, and customers prefer it over downloading yet another app.
Google Review Engine
Automated review collection after every dine-in and delivery experience. A simple WhatsApp message turns happy customers into Google reviewers. Restaurants we work with typically go from 50 reviews to 500+ within six months — transforming their visibility in local search results.
Catering Lead Generation
SEO targeting catering searches — "wedding catering Kochi," "corporate catering Thiruvananthapuram," "house party catering Kerala." Plus automated follow-up with past event clients for repeat bookings and referral requests. Your catering business gets a consistent pipeline instead of seasonal feast-or-famine.
Local SEO Dominance
We optimise your Google Business Profile with updated menus, professional food photography guidance, response management for every review, and location-specific content. When someone searches "best biryani near me" or "cafe in Fort Kochi," you show up first.
