Pricing | ChefSathi

Pricing

Pay for ChefSathi as operating infrastructure, not a cheap plugin sitting on top of WhatsApp

The price should reflect real operating leverage: storefront setup, catalog review, checkout policy, payments readiness, validation, and staged launch control for cloud kitchens, bakeries, tiffins, catering, fixed menus, and custom daily menus. The strategic upside is simple: no aggregator commissions on customers you already own.

Positioning

ChefSathi is priced like an operating system behind your WhatsApp number, not like a template chatbot or a light CRM add-on. The value is in reliable storefront, payment, and operating control, not in pretending every order should be fully automated.

Onboarding

Guided setup, storefront policy setup, catalog review, validation, and staged go-live are part of the product value. More involved rollouts can carry separate implementation scope.

Commercial model

No per-order marketplace rake on customers you already own. Monthly pricing maps to operating maturity, rollout complexity, owner-control needs, storefront/payment policy complexity, and support involvement.

Single-brand operator

Launch

₹7,500/ month

For a cloud kitchen, bakery, tiffin operator, or smaller catering business moving from WhatsApp chaos to a real storefront plus WhatsApp operating flow.

ChefSathi onboarding workspace for WhatsApp setup, storefront policy, catalog, validation, and staged launch
Customer storefront opened from WhatsApp with direct ordering as the default regular-order path
Catalog-backed order handling for kitchen menus, repeat tiffin plans, lighter catering requests, and mixed-language customer messages with safe clarification when needed
Operator control with manual handling inside the WhatsApp flow when automation is uncertain
Flexible payment posture: COD, pay-later, or online pay-now when the tenant is operationally ready
Best for businesses that want structure and control without a large support motion

Includes ChefSathi onboarding workspace access, guided WhatsApp setup, storefront and checkout policy setup, native-language and catalog review posture, and a staged launch path. Online payments stay optional until the tenant is ready, and operator-controlled manual handling remains part of the WhatsApp operating model.

Serious WhatsApp business

Growth

Recommended

₹12,500/ month

For operators that need stronger validation, clearer checkout policy, and more operational visibility before WhatsApp volume starts creating expensive mistakes.

Everything in Launch plus tighter rollout discipline and a more serious operating cadence
Policy-driven storefront checkout: manual confirm, auto-confirm, or prepaid-only confirmation
Direct storefront orders with payment-link flows and WhatsApp-side customer communication
Better fit for businesses serving customers across mixed-language and native-language WhatsApp flows where clarification and operator review still matter
Better fit for recurring billing, subscription-style tiffins, and finance-heavier kitchen operations
Stronger owner-control posture for manual review and operator-confirmed launches
Recommended for businesses where one wrong launch decision already costs more than cheap software pricing
Default recommendation for operators planning to run ChefSathi as a real business system

Start setup

Multi-brand or guided rollout

Scale

₹20,000/ month

For operators running multiple brands, multiple numbers, catering-led structures, or a more involved storefront, payments, and rollout motion.

Multi-brand rollout planning and stronger support involvement
Higher-touch onboarding, review, and launch governance
More hands-on rollout discipline for complex language, manual-control, and approval-heavy operating models
Best fit for catering-led, multi-brand, or more complex WhatsApp business structures under one umbrella
Custom implementation and finance workflow alignment available

Start setup

Implementation note

More involved setups should be scoped separately

Single-brand self-serve onboarding can stay inside the monthly plan. But multi-brand rollouts, deeper finance alignment, heavier catering workflows, more complex storefront/payment policy requirements, heavier native-language/approval complexity, and more hands-on operational setup should carry a separate implementation fee.

Typical guided implementation: from ₹25,000+
Multi-brand or catering-heavy rollout: scoped separately
More manual-control or language-heavy rollout needs: scoped separately where needed
Enterprise reporting or finance-specific workflows: custom

Most serious operators should start at Growth

If ChefSathi is meant to run a real WhatsApp business and not just act as a lightweight experiment, the Growth tier is the right default. It is the most sensible starting point when storefront policy, payments, operator review, and launch discipline matter more than maximum automation.
