Quick-service restaurants · Lead generation

Find the lunch customer and the franchise buyer before the next outlet does.

Lead generation for a quick-service restaurant means collecting the names and numbers of people who might eat at the counter again, and of the few who might buy an outlet. GullySales works on where those contacts are first caught, what is offered for them and who answers.

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

What lead generation means

Lead generation is the combined work of every channel that brings in a new enquiry, whether from search, adverts, referrals or a stall at an exhibition. GullySales runs these channels together and reports the number of enquiries each one produced, not the activity behind it.

For quick-service restaurants

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

  • “A lead here is a phone number, not a form”

    The hungry customer will not fill a page at the counter. A number given for a token update, a combo reminder or a loyalty stamp is the real lead, and the till is where it is lost if nobody asks.

  • “The delivery app owns the customer you paid for”

    An order through an app arrives as a first name and a rider. Without a reason to move that buyer to a direct number, every repeat meal is bought again from the platform.

  • “Two buyers, two leads, one inbox”

    A franchise enquirer and a student wanting a combo land in the same place and get the same reply. The property holder needs floor area, staffing and royalty answers; the student needs a price and a map pin.

  • “An office tower is a list waiting to be built”

    Within walking distance of each outlet sit a few buildings whose staff all break for lunch together. Nobody has asked the reception, the admin head or the cafeteria contractor for a way to reach them.

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 number asked for at the counter

    A scripted ask at billing, tied to a small reason such as order-ready alerts or a stamp card, with the number written straight into a sheet the manager can open.

    Result: The counter has a list of numbers collected under the outlet's own name.

  2. A reorder insert for app bags

    A printed card and QR code that carries an app buyer to a WhatsApp chat for a combo offered only there.

    Result: App buyers have a visible route to a direct chat.

  3. Office-cluster lists, building by building

    A map of towers near each outlet and a short approach to each admin desk, so lunch messages reach only people who can walk over.

    Result: Each tower has its own contact list and its own message.

  4. A separate franchise enquiry path

    A form, a first reply and a call script that ask about location, floor area and budget range, handled by the brand head and not the customer desk.

    Result: Franchise leads sit apart from customer messages.

  5. Source tags on every contact

    Each number carries a note of where it came from: counter, bag insert, tower, campus or ad.

    Result: You can see which source supplied the repeat buyers.

How the result is measured

  • Enquiries generated
  • Cost per enquiry
  • Enquiries by source

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

How it works

How the lead generation 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 your capacity

    We agree how many enquiries your sales team can actually handle well, so the system is not built to overwhelm it.

  2. 2

    Audit current sources

    We check what already brings in enquiries today, even informally, before adding anything new.

  3. 3

    Strategise the channel mix

    Content, search and paid channels are chosen based on where your buyers already look.

  4. 4

    Implement capture and follow-up

    Pages, forms and a follow-up process are built and connected end to end.

  5. 5

    Measure and optimise

    We track enquiry volume and quality and adjust the channel mix to match.

Where this fits

Three pieces of sales work, in this order.

This work sits inside sales process design, at stage 1, prospecting and lead generation. 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.

Is a lead the same as an order?
No. An order is one meal sold. A lead is a contact you may reach again, with permission. Quick-service outlets sell a great many single meals and collect almost no contacts, which is the gap this work closes.
Can we message people who ordered through an app?
Only if they have given you their number and agreed to hear from you. The bag insert exists for that. Check the delivery platform's current rules on contacting its customers before any message goes out.
Do franchise leads need a different process?
Yes. A buyer weighing an outlet asks about space, staff, supply and royalty, and will visit running outlets. The reply, the call and the person answering are all different from the lunch-customer route.
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.
