Where to find restaurant owners in order to convert them to customers

The idea that helps Restaurant Owners

Restaurant Owners want to streamline inventory management. However, they can't get it because they struggle with manual tracking and lack of real-time updates.

Therefore, they need to use your solution, e.g. FoodStock Pro.

Automated Inventory Management Software for Restaurants : FoodStock Pro is a cloud-based inventory management software specifically designed for restaurants. It provides real-time updates on stock levels, automates ordering processes, and helps track expiration dates. Of course it is much better than the stuff from Orderly, or MarketMan!

How to find Restaurant Owners

You can get insights about the pain points of restaurant owners if you listen to them carefully, either in person or online. Listening online is much easier because you need not ask them for a customer interview but you can observe them talking about their problems, out there in their natural habitat. They won’t even notice that you are there, watching and listening to them.

The process, step by step

One process that we can totally recommend is this:

  • Find out where restaurant owners hang out (Reddit, Mastodon, etc.)
  • Read what problems they talk about, and how urgent they are to them. (Did they try any solutions, yet? Did they spend money on anything, yet? Did they even cobble a homegrown solution together?)
  • Enter the conversation: Help them with tips, ask more about their situation and why they are in pain.
  • If you find recurring questions or pet peeves of restaurant owners, create some helpful content for them (e.g. a blog post, a podcast episode, or a video) and share it with them for free, in the same conversations. They will be delighted.
  • At the end of the blog post, invite them to use your solution: Automated Inventory Management Software for Restaurants.
