Quick-service restaurants · Digital marketing

Put the outlet in front of hungry people nearby, on the screens they check.

Digital marketing for a quick-service restaurant is the combined work of listings, search, social posts, ads and chat that gets nearby people to the counter and franchise buyers to the brand. GullySales works on the plan that joins them and sets where the budget goes.

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 quick-service restaurants

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

  • “Each channel is run by someone different”

    One person handles the page, another the app listing, a third the franchise ads. No one sees that the same customer is reached three times and a nearby one not at all.

  • “Spend follows habit, not the lunch map”

    Ads go to the whole city while the sale happens within walking range. A plan built around the streets, towers and campuses next to each outlet spends where the foot traffic is.

  • “The counter and the screen are not connected”

    A campaign brings a customer to the counter and the staff do not know about the offer. The customer asks, the cashier shrugs, and the promotion becomes a complaint.

  • “Franchise marketing and diner marketing compete for budget”

    Money for new outlets and money for existing ones are often argued over. Splitting them into two plans, each with its own measure, keeps the argument from stalling both.

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 channel plan across listings, search, social and chat

    One document showing what each channel is for, who runs it and how they hand over to each other.

    Result: Every channel has a purpose and an owner.

  2. A local budget split

    A split of spend by outlet and by buyer type, set by the owner, aimed at the streets around each counter.

    Result: Spend is allocated by outlet, not by whole-city guess.

  3. Counter briefing for every campaign

    A one-page note for cashiers and managers on each offer, so the counter matches the screen.

    Result: Staff know what the customer saw.

  4. Separate plans for diners and franchise buyers

    Two plans with their own messages, channels and measures.

    Result: The franchise effort has its own plan.

  5. A measure sheet by outlet

    Orders, calls, direction requests and enquiries recorded by outlet, so you can compare outlets.

    Result: You can see which outlet each effort reached.

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 small chain spend first?
On what is nearest the sale: accurate listings and a way to order directly. Paid reach comes after the basics are right, since ads sent to a weak listing waste the click.
Do we need an agency for every channel?
No. Decide which channels deserve attention for your outlets and handle those well. A smaller number run properly serves a chain better than every channel run thinly.
How do we know it worked?
Compare outlet-level orders, calls and direction requests against what you recorded before the work. Because we cannot promise outcomes, the comparison is what tells you.
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.
