Built and running on your real menu — all 23 pages of it, Nasi Ambeng to Teh Tarek Menarek. Open it and book a test table.

The 30 September problem
Padi's booking system is being switched off.
Quandoo is winding down worldwide. Not a price change or a migration — the platform stops existing. Every restaurant on it needs somewhere for bookings to land by the end of September.
30 Sep 2026
The last date a diner can book Padi through Quandoo. After 11.59pm, no new or existing bookings can be handled there.
31 Dec 2026
Website, app and infrastructure permanently shut down. The listing, the 328 reviews, the 5.0 rating — the page they live on goes away.
Right now
Service fees are waived for the final six months, so there's no cost to running Quandoo alongside a replacement while you switch over.
The obvious move is another platform — another listing, another commission, another middleman between Padi and its regulars. The other move is to keep the guests on the channel they already use to message you, and own the relationship outright.

How it works
One conversation. Table and food, both sorted.
No app to install, no account to make, no listing to maintain. Your guest opens the same WhatsApp thread they'd use to ask if you're open.
STEP 01
They text
In English, Malay or Singlish — whatever they write in, the agent answers in. "Ada tempat untuk 6?" works exactly like "table for 6 on Saturday".
STEP 02
Table and pre-order
It checks real availability, holds the seats, then offers the pre-order — so the ambeng and satay are already going when they sit down.
STEP 03
Kitchen already knows
Confirmation with a ref like PB-1042 to the guest. To you: covers, timings, allergies and a prep list for the pass.
What it actually does
Built around how Padi already serves.
🍚
Knows your whole menu
Every section of the card — ambeng platters, satay, shellout, pasta, kids' meals, takeaway packages. Correct prices, and it says when they exclude GST and service.
🗣️
Malay, English, Singlish
It mirrors the language the guest writes in. Your Malay-speaking regulars don't get an English-only form.
🔒
Never double-books
Seats are held the moment they're claimed. Two guests racing for the last table on a Saturday can't both win.
🥜
Catches the allergy
Flag a peanut allergy and it won't quietly add a satay platter — it raises it before the order goes to the kitchen.
📋
Hands over the big ones
Large groups, buka puasa bookings and catering enquiries come to you with the details captured. It never promises what it can't deliver.
💸
No commission, no listing
Your number, your guests, your data. Nothing sits between Padi and the person booking, and nothing takes a cut per cover.
The one for the pass
Service starts before the door opens.
Pre-orders don't just sit in a booking record — they roll up into a prep list. The kitchen sees the night's volume by dish before the first guest walks in, instead of finding out at 7.30pm.

Saturday 22/8/26
3× Nasi Ambeng (5 pax)
2× Premium Satay Platter
2× Sultan Gate Wings
1× Grilled Seabass
6× Teh Tarek Menarek
↪ Ready before the first cover
- ✓Volume by dish, not by booking. Three ambeng platters is a prep decision at 4pm, not a scramble at 7.30.
- ✓Allergies surface at the top. Flagged against the table, so it reaches the pass and not just the host stand.
- ✓Covers and value at a glance. You know what the night is worth before it starts — and what a quiet Tuesday actually costs.
- ✓Updates itself. A change at 6pm is on the list at 6pm. No one re-types anything.
What your guests already say
328 reviews. 5.0 out of 6. All on a page that disappears in December.
Padi's Quandoo reviews rate the food Great, the service Great and the waiting time Very Good. That reputation was earned on Bussorah Street — it shouldn't leave with the platform that happened to be hosting it.

“The food is serve on time as we were breaking our fast. Everybody enjoy…”
Mohamed N. · Quandoo
Gatherings, iftar, big tables. That's what guests keep booking Padi for — and it's exactly the booking that benefits most from a pre-order. Eight people deciding at the table is twenty minutes of kitchen pressure. Eight people deciding on WhatsApp at 4pm is a prep list.

Under the hood
Same engine as the bot that's already live.
This isn't a prototype built for a pitch. It's the architecture running ZiqClips Studio's booking bot today — extended for tables, covers and pre-orders, and loaded with Padi's real menu card.

Book a test table, pre-order the ambeng, and see what lands on the pass. If it isn't better than a listing on someone else's platform, don't switch.
