Takeaway restaurants · Digital marketing

Put the menu, the number and the ready time where the hungry customer looks.

Digital marketing for a takeaway restaurant covers the listing, the website, WhatsApp, social media and paid reach that bring orders to the counter. GullySales works on which of these the shop needs first and how each is checked against orders.

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 takeaway restaurants

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

  • “Ten channels at once will not suit one counter”

    A small shop cannot answer enquiries from every platform. Choosing two or three that the staff can keep up, such as the listing, WhatsApp and one social page, produces more orders than a thin presence everywhere.

  • “Spending on reach before the basics wastes money”

    Paying for advertisements while the listing shows wrong hours or the phone goes unanswered sends customers to a poor experience. The basics come first, then the paid reach.

  • “Online and counter orders need to be counted together”

    A shop that tracks only online orders cannot tell what any channel is worth. A simple tally of orders by source, including walk-ins who say they saw a post, gives the owner something to decide from.

  • “Delivery apps and own channels play different roles”

    An aggregator app brings orders at a commission and keeps the customer record. Own channels such as WhatsApp keep the customer relationship with the shop. Both can run, but the owner should know what each costs.

What we do

What we deliver for takeaway 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

    A short written plan choosing the channels for the shop and the person who runs each.

    Result: The shop knows which channels it runs and who owns each.

  2. A baseline of orders

    A count of orders by source before any work starts.

    Result: You can compare later results with a starting point.

  3. A listing and menu audit

    A check of the listing, the menu page and the ordering number for mistakes.

    Result: The basics are correct before paid reach begins.

  4. A small paid test

    A modest advertisement for one dish or tray offer aimed at the neighbourhood, with a budget the owner approves.

    Result: You can see what the spend produced in orders.

  5. A source tally at the counter

    A simple method for the counter to note how each order arrived.

    Result: Orders are counted by source every day.

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.

What should a takeaway spend on first?
Fix the listing and the ordering route before spending on advertisements. After that, a small test for one dish shows what paid reach brings.
Should we stay on delivery apps?
That is the owner's decision based on commission and margin. We help compare the cost per order on the apps with the cost on your own channels.
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.
