WhatsApp message templates for breweries and taprooms

Breweries and tasting rooms need six templates: four utility and two marketing. Utility covers tour bookings, tasting reminders, order-ready notices and reschedules; marketing covers new releases and tasting events.

Taproom visits and brewery tours are booked in advance, often by groups. WhatsApp confirms the time, sets expectations for the tasting and lets regulars know the moment a new batch is on.

How the category changes what you pay

  • Every template is submitted under one category, and Meta assigns the final one in review. A utility template that reads like a promotion can be reclassified as marketing, which changes both the rate and the opt-in requirement.
  • Since 1 October 2026, service messages are charged per delivered message after the first 1,000 free service messages per business phone number per month. The allowance does not roll over and there are no volume tiers.
  • Inbound messages are free, and a customer-initiated message opens the 24-hour customer service window. Anything you start outside that window needs an approved template.
