Non-vegetarian restaurants · Follow up systems

Turn a one-off biryani order into a customer who comes back every second Sunday.

A follow-up system for a non-vegetarian restaurant is the set of short messages and calls that reach a diner or a bulk enquirer after the first contact. GullySales works on who gets which message, what it says and which staff member sends it.

What follow up systems means

A follow-up system is the set routine for calling, messaging or emailing an enquiry more than once, since most buyers do not decide on the first conversation. GullySales sets the number and timing of follow-ups so an undecided buyer keeps hearing from you until they decide either way.

For non-vegetarian restaurants

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

  • “The bulk enquiry goes cold in a day”

    An office manager asks for a quote for forty plates and hears nothing back for two days. By then another kitchen has replied, and the order goes there without the first restaurant knowing it was in contention.

  • “Diners need a reason to return”

    A first-time customer who liked the kebab will not remember the name in a fortnight. A kind note, a reminder of the weekend special and a thank-you after a large order keep the restaurant in mind.

  • “Too many messages get blocked”

    A diner who receives a message every day mutes the number or reports it. A short, rare and relevant note, tied to a festival or a favourite dish, is read and valued. A written limit protects the list.

  • “A complaint followed up becomes a regular”

    A diner who received a cold delivery and heard from the owner the same evening returns. The restaurant that ignored the complaint will never see them or the review they write. The call matters more than any voucher.

What we do

What we deliver for non-vegetarian restaurants.

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

  1. A reply to every bulk enquiry within the same service day

    A standing rule that each enquiry gets a menu, a price and a name to call the same day, with a staff member responsible.

    Result: No bulk enquiry sits unanswered overnight.

  2. A thank-you after a large order

    A short message to the planner after a party order, asking if the food reached on time and inviting a next booking.

    Result: Every large order gets a personal note.

  3. A festival reminder list

    A message to opted-in diners ahead of Ramzan, Christmas and New Year's Eve with the set menu and the booking route.

    Result: Only opted-in diners receive it.

  4. A complaint response routine

    A written routine for a cold delivery, a missing item or a poor review, saying who calls, what is offered and how it is recorded.

    Result: Each complaint has an owner and a recorded outcome.

  5. A rule for how much to write

    A cap on messages per diner, so nobody hears from you beyond what the plan allows.

    Result: The list is not flooded, and opt-outs are honoured.

How the result is measured

  • Follow-up completion rate
  • Average number of follow-ups before close
  • Enquiries closed after repeat follow-up

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

How it works

How the follow up systems 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

    Measure today's reply time

    From last month's enquiries, we measure how long each waited for a first reply and how many follow-ups it got.

  2. 2

    Agree targets and the sequence

    We set reply targets and the follow-up sequence with your team, based on its real hours and workload.

  3. 3

    Set up templates, tasks and ownership

    Templates, first-call questions, CRM tasks and named owners go live, with cover for leave and weekends.

  4. 4

    Track and adjust every month

    Reply time and follow-up completion are reported against the baseline, and the routine is changed where it is not kept.

Where this fits

Three pieces of sales work, in this order.

This work sits inside sales process design, at stage 2, qualification. 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.

Tell us what you need
What do we say to a diner who stopped ordering?
Something short and warm: a note about the new dish or the Sunday handi, with no pressure. If they do not reply, leave them alone for a while. A second push is a nuisance.
Who sends the messages?
Someone on your team, or the owner's number for large orders. The message should come from a person the diner would recognise, not from an unnamed number.
Can follow-up be automated?
Parts of it, such as an order confirmation or a festival reminder, yes. The reply to a complaint or a large enquiry should come from a person, since a template reply to a grievance does harm.
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.
