Cloud kitchens · Digital marketing

Digital marketing for a cloud kitchen is one plan across the app, search, social and chat.

Digital marketing for a cloud kitchen joins the app listing, search, social media, WhatsApp and paid adverts into one plan. GullySales decides with the owner which channel gets effort first, based on the kitchen's margin, capacity and the brands it runs.

Scope, fee, reporting and term are agreed in writing after we have read your brief and spoken to you.

What digital marketing means

Digital marketing is the combined work of search, social media, advertising and website channels running together rather than as separate projects with separate people. GullySales runs these as one connected system so a change in one channel, such as a new offer, is reflected everywhere at once.

For cloud kitchens

Where it usually goes wrong, and what we would do.

  • “Each channel is run by a different habit”

    The app listing is handled by whoever has the login, the social account by whoever has time and WhatsApp by the owner. Without one plan, photos, prices and offers contradict each other.

  • “Spend on the app and direct orders differ”

    Paid visibility on an aggregator sends orders that carry commission. A direct order costs the kitchen the effort of getting the customer there. Comparing the two needs the real cost of each order.

  • “Capacity limits marketing”

    A promotion that fills the evening with more orders than the kitchen can pack makes late deliveries, ratings fall and the brand suffers. The plan should start from how many orders the kitchen can serve well.

  • “Measurement is missing”

    Without a source on each order, the owner cannot say whether the bag card, the advert or the app promotion brought the customer. A simple tag on every order makes the next decision clearer.

What we do

What we deliver for cloud kitchens.

Every deliverable, what it covers for you, and the result it is there to produce. Nothing here is an extra.

  1. A channel plan

    A decision on which channels each brand uses and what each is for: app for discovery, social for identity, chat for repeat orders.

    Result: A one-page plan with a job for every channel.

  2. An order source tag

    A way to mark each order as app, direct, corporate or tray, and the source that brought it.

    Result: Count last week's orders by source in a few minutes.

  3. A paid advert test

    A small, clearly labelled test on Meta or search for one dish and one area, with a direct order link.

    Result: A record of spend and the orders it could be traced to.

  4. A cost-per-order comparison

    A sheet comparing commission, packaging and discount on app orders with the cost of getting a direct order.

    Result: Both routes shown with the same costs counted.

  5. A review of brands

    A look at each brand's orders, rating and effort, with a note on which to grow, merge or drop.

    Result: A short note for the owner to decide on.

How the result is measured

  • Enquiries across channels
  • Cost per enquiry overall
  • Channel mix by contribution

Recorded as a baseline before work starts, so every later report has an honest comparison.

How it works

How the digital marketing 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. 1

    Understand the objective

    We agree the one thing this campaign needs to achieve before choosing any channel.

  2. 2

    Audit available channels

    We assess which channels are realistic to run well within the budget and timeline.

  3. 3

    Strategise the central idea

    One message and offer is developed that will work across every planned channel.

  4. 4

    Implement across channels

    Each channel receives its own adapted version, launched on a shared timeline.

  5. 5

    Measure as one campaign

    Results from every channel are combined into a single report against the original objective.

Where this fits

Three pieces of sales work, in this order.

This work sits inside sales process design, at stage 0, foundation. The audit comes before it, and sales management keeps it running.

  1. 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.

  2. Step 2 · you are here

    Sales process design

    One written way to sell, from first enquiry to repeat order.

    Start here if every salesperson sells differently.

  3. Step 3

    Sales management

    A target, a review routine and someone who owns the number.

    Start here if the team has targets and no routine.

FAQ

Questions owners ask before they call.

Not here? More answers, or ask on WhatsApp.

Where should a new cloud kitchen spend first?
On the app listing, because that is where the first orders come from. Then on a direct route so those customers can return. We look at your numbers before advising.
Do you manage the whole thing?
We plan, produce and set up the work and work with your team on the running. The kitchen keeps control of prices, menus and what it can deliver.
Can you promise more orders?
No. Orders depend on the food, the price, the area and the platform. We set up the work and show you what each channel brought in.
How much does it cost?
There is no price list, because the work differs by business. The fee is scoped after we have read your brief and spoken to you, and put in writing before anything starts, split into our time, your media spend and production.
How long is the contract?
The term is agreed in writing after we have spoken, along with the fee and the reporting. It is never a default twelve months, and renewal is decided on the numbers against the baseline recorded at the start.
How soon will we see results?
It depends on the trade, the channel and what is already in place. After we have read your brief and spoken to you, we say what we would expect to move first and how it will be measured against the baseline. Nothing here is guaranteed.
Who will actually do the work?
The person you speak to before anything starts. We work from one office in Nagarbhavi, Bengaluru, with no account managers in between.
What do you need from us?
Your brief, and a conversation. After that, access to whatever this work touches, such as your website, your accounts or your enquiry record, and time with the people who handle your enquiries.
What if we are not happy with the work?
Tell us and the plan changes. Everything is reported against the baseline, so a number that is not moving is visible to both sides. The term is in your written scope, and the refund and cancellation policy sets out the rest.
