Quick-service restaurants · WhatsApp marketing

Take the repeat order off the app and onto the chat your customer already opens.

WhatsApp marketing for a quick-service restaurant is using chats and broadcasts, with permission, to take orders, announce combos and bring regulars back. GullySales works on the number, the order flow and the message plan, and on keeping it within the platform's current rules.

What WhatsApp marketing means

WhatsApp marketing is sending updates, offers and reminders to customers on the app most Indian buyers already check daily. GullySales sets up business WhatsApp, writes the message templates and keeps the list consented and current.

For quick-service restaurants

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

  • “The customer already has the number saved”

    A buyer who orders the same combo each week will message a number they can find. A catalogue of the combos, with prices and an order button, turns that chat into a counter that never closes.

  • “A broadcast to everyone is a spam message to most”

    Sending the same offer to the entire list reaches office workers about a student deal. Lists grouped by outlet, by tower and by habit make each message relevant to the person who gets it.

  • “Orders on chat need a person at the other end”

    A message at the lunch peak waits behind the queue. If the chat is answered late, the buyer goes to the app. Someone, or a clear automatic reply, must hold the chat during rush hours.

  • “Permission is the thing that makes it work”

    A customer who asked to hear from the outlet reads the message. One who did not, deletes it and blocks. Check the platform's current rules, and keep an opt-out in every message.

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 business number set up for the outlet

    A WhatsApp Business profile with the outlet name, timings, address and a catalogue of the combos.

    Result: The chat looks like the outlet from the first message.

  2. An order flow for repeat buyers

    A short sequence for choosing the combo, confirming the address or pickup, and sending payment details, with a handover to staff.

    Result: A repeat order can be placed in a few messages.

  3. Grouped lists

    Lists for each outlet, tower, campus and regular day, built from customers who agreed.

    Result: Each broadcast reaches a group it suits.

  4. Reply cover for peak hours

    A plan for who answers during the rush and what an automatic reply says when nobody can.

    Result: Chats do not sit unanswered at lunch.

  5. Opt-in and opt-out wording

    The words used at the counter, on bag inserts and in the first message to ask for and to end permission.

    Result: Every contact on the list has agreed to be there.

How the result is measured

  • Messages delivered
  • Reply rate
  • Enquiries from WhatsApp

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

How it works

How the whatsapp 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 current WhatsApp use

    We review how customers currently message you and how consistently, if at all, it is answered.

  2. 2

    Audit common questions

    We identify the questions that come up repeatedly, which decide what should be automated first.

  3. 3

    Set up automation and templates

    An automated first response and quick reply templates are built for the most common needs.

  4. 4

    Connect to the CRM

    Conversations are linked to customer records so context carries over between team members.

  5. 5

    Measure and optimise

    We track response time and conversion, refining automated responses based on what customers actually ask.

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.

Tell us what you need
Can we broadcast offers to everyone who ordered?
Only to those who have given their number and agreed to receive messages. Check the platform's current rules for business messaging, and keep the list limited to people who opted in.
Will this replace delivery apps?
It will not replace them for new customers who find you there. It gives repeat buyers a direct route, which keeps those orders, and that decision stays with the customer.
Do we need the paid business interface?
A smaller outlet can start with the free business app. A chain with many outlets and staff may need the platform's paid interface for broadcasts and multiple users. Choose by the volume you handle.
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.
