Bars, pubs and microbreweries · CRM
Keep bookers, regulars and event guests in one record the team can use.
A CRM for a bar, pub or microbrewery records who booked, for what occasion and how they heard of you, and what they were told. GullySales sets up a record that fits a busy floor, ties it to WhatsApp, and holds only the contacts who agreed to hear from you.
Scope, fee, reporting and term are agreed in writing after we have read your brief and spoken to you.

What CRM means
A CRM is the record where every enquiry, call and quote is kept against a customer, replacing separate notebooks, spreadsheets and memory. GullySales sets up or cleans an existing CRM and reports from it by enquiry outcome rather than by activity logged.

For bars, pubs and microbreweries
Where it usually goes wrong, and what we would do.
“Phones hold the bookings”
Reservations scattered across the manager's chat list vanish with a change of staff. A shared record keeps the history with the venue, not the person.
“An occasion is worth remembering”
A birthday booked last year is a reason to write this year. Without a note of the date, the opportunity passes.
“Consent decides who may be messaged”
A guest who gave a number for a table did not necessarily agree to promotions. Record the permission when you take the number.
“The corporate booker is a different guest”
An office manager who books the same pub for team evenings every quarter wants an invoice, a fixed table and a person to ask for. Filing that booker beside a walk-in birthday group hides the account that returns on a schedule.
What we do
What we deliver for bars, pubs and microbreweries.
Every deliverable, what it covers for you, and the result it is there to produce. Nothing here is an extra.
Booking record
Name, number, date, group size, occasion, area, deposit status and notes in one row.
Result: The host knows each booking at a glance.
Occasion and date fields
Birthdays, farewells and anniversaries recorded with the month, if the guest agrees.
Result: Reminders go to those who said yes.
Consent column
A clear yes or no for event messages for each contact.
Result: Only agreed contacts are messaged.
Group organiser list
Coordinators and hosts who book repeatedly, with their usual group and preferences.
Result: Repeat organisers are looked after first.
Event guest list
People who signed up for an event night, linked to the event.
Result: You can invite them to the next one.
Corporate and group account sheet
One row for each company, college alumni group or friends' circle that books repeatedly, with the organiser's name, the usual group size, the preferred night and the billing contact.
Result: Repeat organisers are called before a date fills.
Feedback and complaint log
A line for each complaint or compliment taken at the table or on a review site, with the date, the shift and what was done.
Result: A problem raised once is not raised again.
How the result is measured
- Enquiries logged in the CRM
- Data completeness
- Reports generated from CRM data
Recorded as a baseline before work starts, so every later report has an honest comparison.

How it works
How the CRM work runs
The work itself, in order. How an engagement starts, from your brief to a written scope, is set out on our method page.
- 1
Map the sales process
We record how a deal actually moves from enquiry to close in your business today.
- 2
Configure stages and fields
The CRM's pipeline and fields are built to match that process exactly, not a generic template.
- 3
Set up automations
Reminders, assignment rules and follow-up triggers are configured so routine steps happen without manual effort.
- 4
Test with real deals
We run the configuration against actual current deals to catch gaps before the whole team relies on it.
Where this fits
Three pieces of sales work, in this order.
This work sits inside sales management. A target, a review routine and someone who owns the number.
Step 1
Sales audit
Find where deals are being lost and what to fix first.
Start here if you cannot say where orders are lost.
Step 2
Sales process design
One written way to sell, from first enquiry to repeat order.
Start here if every salesperson sells differently.
Step 3 · you are here
Sales management
A target, a review routine and someone who owns the number.
Start here if the team has targets and no routine.
