Kitty parties and group bookings

A kitty party is the most reliable booking in Indian hospitality. The same twelve people, the same week every month, for years — and most restaurants handle it entirely through one person's phone.

If that one person changes restaurant, the booking goes with her.

The whole group, not just the organiser

A booking is made by one person but it belongs to a group. Waplo takes the booking on WhatsApp and can invite everyone in the group, so they confirm for themselves.

You then know how many are actually coming, which is the number your kitchen needs and the one an organiser is always guessing at.

Next month books itself

A kitty runs on a cycle. When one has just happened, the next one is due, and Waplo can ask the group about it at the right time instead of waiting for someone to remember.

That turns a booking into a standing booking, which is worth far more than a single Saturday.

The pot, written down and never held

Many kitty groups collect money each month. Waplo can keep the record of who has paid and whose turn it is.

It is a ledger and nothing more. Waplo never holds anyone's money and never moves it — it only writes down what has already happened between the members.

And the games, because that is the point of the afternoon

Tambola runs on the phones at the table. It is a small thing that makes a room remember where they had their kitty.

Restaurants that do this well get the whole year booked in advance.

Common questions

Is this a chit fund?

No. Waplo does not hold, pool, move or guarantee anybody's money. It records what the members have already settled between themselves, like a notebook.

Do all the members need Waplo?

No. They receive a WhatsApp message and reply. Nothing is installed.

Can I use it for other group bookings?

Yes — birthdays, office lunches, family functions. A kitty is just the group booking that repeats.
