[01]The list

Every quick-service restaurant in your area, franchises and independents.

Burgers, tacos, chicken, wings, sandwiches: describe the target the way you'd tell a colleague. The agent searches business listings and professional databases, notes which places run under a brand, and hands you a list, not a page of results.

  • A concept

    Burgers, tacos, fried chicken, wings, pizza by the slice, poke: describe the concept in your own words, and the agent sorts the listings for you.

  • Franchise or independent

    The agent reads each location's website and listing and notes whether it runs under a brand, so you can target franchisees or independents.

  • Multi-unit operators

    Reading operator websites and professional databases, the agent finds the groups running three, ten or forty locations, with their headcount.

  • Hours and reviews

    Open past midnight, closed Sundays, rated under 4 with lots of reviews: criteria drawn from the listings, combined in the same sentence.

[02]Enrichment

The operator, the network, the ordering: what to know before you call.

In quick service, one brand hides dozens of franchisees, each deciding for their own locations. The agent fills in the columns your campaign needs, row by row, and verifies every email before adding it.

  • The owner or operator

    Their name, a verified email and a cell phone when there is one: the person who picks the vendors, not the brand's corporate switchboard.

  • The network

    The agent reads the website and notes the brand, how many locations it lists and whether it has a franchising page, each in its own column.

  • Ordering and delivery

    Online ordering, pickup, in-house or third-party delivery, kiosks mentioned on the site: the agent records what each location displays.

  • The afternoon lull

    Each location's hours and closing day, so you call between the lunch rush and the dinner rush, and never at 12:30 on a weekday.

[03]Signals

Automations that spot the locations on the move.

Quick service moves fast: a franchisee opens three units in a year, a store hires a whole crew, the reviews start grumbling about the wait. Each automation reruns its search on schedule and adds what just changed to the top of the list.

3 restaurants started hiring since yesterday, one of them for a general manager.

  • Hiring in volume

    Every morning, the agent flags the locations posting for a general manager or several crew members: a new opening, or turnover that's costing them.

  • The wait, in the reviews

    Every month, the agent reads the new reviews and flags the restaurants where guests complain about the wait or about orders gone wrong.

  • New locations

    Every Monday, the quick-service places that just showed up in the listings for your area land at the top, with their brand when they have one.

  • Your own watch

    Any watch you can write in one sentence, such as the networks announcing a coming-soon location in your territory on their own website.

[04]The campaign

A campaign that lands between rushes.

Email from your own mailbox, calls from your browser, and an agent step that starts from what it read about each location. The campaign only calls stores in the afternoon lull, writes to multi-unit operators in the morning, and stops as soon as someone replies.

Subject The wait at restaurant

Hi first_name, Of this month's reviews for restaurant, wait_reviews mention the wait at the counter, mostly at dinner. We help quick-service restaurants take more orders at peak hours without adding someone on the register. Can I call you Thursday? signature

Each variable is a column of your list, filled in by the agent.

  • In the afternoon lull

    Calls to the stores go out between 2:30 and 5 pm, Tuesday to Friday; emails to multi-unit operators go out on weekday mornings instead.

  • Calls from the browser

    You call from your browser. Every call is recorded, transcribed and summarized on the restaurant's row, ready before the next dial.

  • What guests say

    An agent step rereads each location's reviews or website and writes a follow-up from one precise fact: the Saturday wait, the new unit.

  • Stops on reply

    As soon as an operator or a store manager replies, the campaign stops for them. You take it from there, and the next follow-up never goes out.
