B2B Cold Email & Outreach Built for Restaurant Build-Out Contractors

{"faqs":[{"answer":"A traditional SDR team costs far more per qualified conversation — our AI SDRs run at 70-80% lower cost per qualified conversation with a claimed 4-7x conversion lift over unmanaged follow-up. And unlike juggling separate vendors for ads, creative, and follow-up, one partner runs the whole path from first click to booked call, with one plan and one report. No vanity metrics — just booked calls.","question":"Why not just hire an SDR team or keep doing outreach myself?"}],"steps":[{"step":"1","title":"Find the bottleneck","gradient":"from-orange-500 to-red-500","description":"On a free growth call, we look at your buyer, offer, channels, response process, and data to find where your restaurant build-out pipeline is stuck before touching anything."},{"step":"2","title":"Launch quickly","gradient":"from-yellow-500 to-orange-500","description":"We build the plan — priority channels and the lead-handling path — then put campaigns, outreach, and response into motion.

When a franchisee calls about a second-generation space or a restaurant owner wants a tenant improvement quote, the bid almost always goes to the restaurant general contractor who picked up first. Most inquiries need detailed scoping — concept type, square footage, first-gen vs. second-gen space, hood ventilation requirements — and there's no one on your crew to capture that when you're ten hours deep on the job site.
