Quick-service restaurants · CRM

Keep a record of who ordered, when, and what to say next.

A CRM for a quick-service restaurant is a simple record of customers and franchise enquirers: who they are, what they ordered, where the contact came from and what was said. GullySales works on setting up the fields, the habit of filling them and the use of the data.

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 quick-service restaurants

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

  • “The till has the sale but not the person”

    Billing software records the item and the amount. The customer who ordered the same wrap every Thursday is a row among thousands, with no name and no number to message.

  • “Three systems hold three halves of a customer”

    The app dashboard, the counter billing and the WhatsApp chats each know a part. Nobody sees one buyer across all three, so the loyal one is treated as a stranger.

  • “Franchise enquiries live in someone's phone”

    A call taken on a personal mobile leaves no record when that person is away. The enquirer is called twice, or not at all, and the brand looks disorganised.

  • “A CRM that needs ten fields is never filled”

    Counter staff are serving a queue. If saving a customer takes more than a name, a number and a tag, the record stays empty. The fields must match the time available.

What we do

What we deliver for quick-service restaurants.

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

  1. A customer record sized for the counter

    A short set of fields: name, number, outlet, usual order and source, built to be filled in seconds at billing.

    Result: Staff can add a customer without slowing the queue.

  2. A franchise pipeline view

    Stages for enquiry, first call, outlet visit, documents and decision, with the next step and the owner of each lead.

    Result: Every franchise lead shows a stage and a person.

  3. Tags for source and behaviour

    Labels for counter, app insert, tower, campus, repeat and lapsed, so lists can be pulled by group.

    Result: A list for any group can be pulled in a minute.

  4. Linking WhatsApp chats to records

    Conversations tied to the customer record so the history is visible to whoever picks up.

    Result: The next person sees what was said before.

  5. A tool choice made on need

    A comparison of simple options in ordinary use in India, matched to the number of outlets and staff, with no preference for a vendor.

    Result: The tool fits the size of the operation.

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.

Do we need paid software to start?
Not necessarily. A shared sheet with a clear structure can hold the first customers. Move to a tool when the outlets, the enquiries or the staff outgrow the sheet.
Is it right to store customers' numbers?
Store only what the customer has agreed to share, use it for the purpose they agreed to, and offer an easy way to stop messages. Check the current data protection rules with your own adviser.
Can the CRM include delivery app customers?
Only those who have given you their details directly. Platform data usually stays with the platform, and its current rules govern what you may do with it.
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.
