Coffee shops · CRM

Remember the usual order, the favourite bean and the office that asked for a quote.

A CRM for a coffee shop is a simple record of the people the shop serves and sells to: regulars, bean buyers, office enquiries and event hosts, with what each one wants and what was last said. GullySales works on choosing a light tool, setting up the fields and getting the team to use it.

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 coffee shops

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

  • “The barista holds the CRM in memory”

    The person at the machine knows who takes oat milk and who prefers the washed lot. When that person leaves, the knowledge leaves too, and the new hire starts from nothing, asking regulars for orders the shop already knew.

  • “A spreadsheet works until the second outlet”

    One sheet kept by one person survives a single shop. Add a second outlet, an online bean order and an office account, and the sheet splits into several copies, each slightly different, none fully trusted.

  • “Different buyers need different fields”

    A regular needs a usual order and a bean preference. An office needs a contact, a machine and a refill pattern. One form forced onto both leaves blanks in every record, and blanks teach the team to stop filling it in.

  • “Consent is part of the record”

    Every number the shop holds should show whether the person agreed to be messaged, and about what. Without it, a launch message becomes an intrusion, the list becomes a liability and nobody can say who agreed to what.

What we do

What we deliver for coffee shops.

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

  1. A simple tool chosen for the shop

    A comparison of light options such as a shared spreadsheet, a WhatsApp Business contact list or a small CRM, and a recommendation that fits the size of the team.

    Result: The shop uses a tool the staff will actually open.

  2. Fields for each buyer type

    Separate record layouts for regulars, bean buyers, office accounts and event hosts.

    Result: Each record holds what matters for that buyer.

  3. Consent captured with the record

    A field and a counter routine that note when and how the person agreed to be contacted.

    Result: Every contact shows whether messaging is allowed.

  4. Import of existing contacts

    Clean-up of the numbers already in phones and sheets, with duplicates merged and unknown consent flagged.

    Result: The shop starts with one list instead of four.

  5. A one-page staff guide

    A page showing what to enter, when and who owns the update, written for people working a busy counter.

    Result: A new barista can follow the routine on the first shift.

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. 1

    Map the sales process

    We record how a deal actually moves from enquiry to close in your business today.

  2. 2

    Configure stages and fields

    The CRM's pipeline and fields are built to match that process exactly, not a generic template.

  3. 3

    Set up automations

    Reminders, assignment rules and follow-up triggers are configured so routine steps happen without manual effort.

  4. 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.

  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

    Sales process design

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

    Start here if every salesperson sells differently.

  3. 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.

FAQ

Questions owners ask before they call.

Not here? More answers, or ask on WhatsApp.

Tell us what you need
Do we need paid software?
Not at the start. A well-kept shared sheet or WhatsApp Business labels can serve a single shop. Move to a proper tool when office accounts or a second outlet make the sheet hard to trust.
Who should update the CRM?
The person who spoke to the customer, at the time, in a few seconds. A record updated by the owner at midnight is incomplete. We design the entry to take less time than the conversation.
Is it safe to store customer numbers?
Treat numbers with care: keep access limited, store only what you need and note consent. Data protection rules apply to personal data, so check with your own adviser about what applies to your shop.
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.
