Automations

Every repeated job in the business, and the tool that deletes it. Ordered by leverage — how much revenue each one unlocks per hour of your time it gives back — not by how interesting it was to build.

Why this order

$40 cards will never make this large on their own — $1M is 25,000 cards, and at three a day that is over twenty years. Cards are acquisition: cheap, fast, and they get you behind the counter. Tap menus are cash. The monthly menu update plan ($30, $50 or $100 a month) is the business, because it is the only line that compounds — 1,000 restaurants on the $30 plan is $360k a year.

So automation has two jobs: raise how many counters a rep reaches in a day, and deliver the monthly menu updates at near-zero marginal cost. Anything that does neither is a nice-to-have.

Grow

More counters reached per day. This is what cards are for — they are acquisition, not the business.

Review-link generator

Built

Replaces: Hunting a business on Google Maps and hand-building the #lrd link

This runs on every single card sold, which makes it the most-repeated manual task in the business. Cutting it from four minutes to ten seconds is the difference between a rep closing six shops in an afternoon and closing twelve.

Saves: ~4 min per card

Rep lead intake

Built

Replaces: Texts and photos of business cards that get lost in a chat thread

A rep standing in a shop types the business name once. That creates the job, pulls the Google listing, generates the link and queues the card for encoding. Nothing is re-typed and nothing falls through.

Saves: ~10 min per lead, and the leads that used to vanish

Quote → invoice → payment link

Built

Replaces: Verbal prices, and chasing money afterwards

Most small deals die in the gap between 'sounds good' and getting paid. A quote that becomes an invoice with a payment link in one tap closes that gap while you are still standing there.

Saves: The 20–30% of verbal yeses that never convertNeeds: A payment provider account

Menu build pipeline

Later

Replaces: Retyping a restaurant's whole menu by hand

The setup fee ($350 for a Tap Menu) is good money only if the build takes two hours, not two days. Photo or PDF in, structured menu data out, human checks the prices. This is what makes tap menus repeatable instead of bespoke.

Saves: 3–6 hours per menu

Email outreach

Built

Replaces: Typing the same first email to every business, one at a time

Walking is limited by daylight and petrol; email is not. The catch is CASL — Canada's anti-spam law is among the strictest anywhere and the penalties reach $1M for an individual. Cold email to a business IS legal here, but only with a consent basis you can point to, your identification in every message, and a working unsubscribe. So this tool tracks WHY you believed you could email each contact, not just the address.

Saves: Reaches shops you cannot drive toNeeds: A sending domain with SPF, DKIM and DMARC — and a warm-up period, or you will burn it

Ad campaign planner

Built

Replaces: Guessing whether a campaign can possibly pay for itself

Its most valuable output is usually 'do not run this'. Local service clicks cost roughly $2-8. On a $40 card your gross profit is about $12, so one sale at a 5% conversion burns ~$100 of clicks to earn $12 — ads simply cannot fund card sales. They CAN fund menus ($350 to $1,800 a build) and the monthly update plan (from $360 a year). This tool does that arithmetic before you spend, and points campaigns at the city pages rather than the homepage.

Saves: The money you would otherwise light on fireNeeds: An ad account. Nothing here spends money on its own

Sustain

The compounding half. The monthly menu update plan is the only line that grows without costing more of your time.

Review-reply drafting

Built

Replaces: Owners never replying to their Google reviews

Drafts replies in the owner's voice, they approve from their phone. CONFIRM (Umang): review replies are not part of any current price — the monthly plans cover menu updates only ($30, $50 or $100 a month). Decide whether replies are sold, and at what price, before this is pitched on a counter.

Saves: Turns every card sold into possible recurring revenueNeeds: Google Business Profile API access + owner authorisation per shop

Follow-up email sequence

Built

Replaces: Never speaking to a customer again after the install

Day 1 confirms the card is live, day 7 asks how many reviews came in, day 30 offers the second card or the menu. Worth being honest: for a walk-in business this is an expansion and retention lever, not an acquisition one — it only starts paying once there are a hundred-odd installs to talk to. Build it, but do not expect it to fill the calendar.

Saves: Lifts repeat and referral rate; compounding, not immediateNeeds: Transactional email sending domain

Card health check

Built

Replaces: Finding out from an angry owner that their card stopped working

A weekly check that every link still resolves and the business name still matches. A card that quietly breaks is a refund, a bad review and a lost update plan. Catching it first is a support call that makes you look excellent.

Saves: Prevents churn you would otherwise never see coming

Structure

What lets the business run when you are not the one doing it. Needed before the second and third rep, not after.
