Designed for restaurants, cafés, bars, and event spaces • No new apps for staff. No complex dashboards at the counter.
Short-term goal

Fill your quiet hours with simple micro-promos.

Turn 12–5 PM “dead time” into steady walk-ins

  • Pick a window: for example, 12–5 PM on weekdays when your traffic usually drops.
  • Pick a hook: “FREE cookie for the first 20 customers” or “FREE upsize on any coffee this afternoon.”
  • We send the text: your list gets a clear, on-brand message with the offer and time window.
  • They show up: they come in for the freebie… and most will buy something else too.
A customer rarely walks in just for a free cookie or drink. They grab a meal, add sides, bring a friend, or try something new — the freebie is the spark, not the whole fire.
Long-term goal

Build a local list you can profit from on demand.

A list of real customers in your area — not random followers

  • Every promo grows your SMS list, whether they buy that day or not.
  • In six months, you might have 500–1,000+ locals you can reach directly, without paying any platform.
  • Need a bump next week? Launch a “Tuesday lunch special” to your list and turn a slow day into a strong one.
  • Even a tiny 1% response rate on 1,000 contacts is 10 customers walking back in from a single text.

This is the real power of Bob’s Burger: a predictable way to talk to your own audience any time you want more people in the door.

For your team

Staff-only job: point, smile, honour the offer.

  • We design in-store signs that explain the offer clearly to customers.
  • Staff simply point: “Scan here to claim your free cookie / upsize / item.”
  • They honour the freebie, ring in the rest like normal, and keep the line moving.
  • No logins, no extra app, no scanning devices, no awkward tech training at the counter.

Your front-of-house stays focused on service. The system quietly captures customer info and handles messaging in the background.

For ownership & management

One engine you can switch on whenever you need a bump.

  • Choose the days and times you want to push traffic — we help you plan a promo calendar.
  • We create the offer ideas and copy so you’re not staring at a blank screen.
  • See how many people claimed, clicked, and came in, so it feels like a real, measurable system — not guesswork.
  • Roll out the same engine across multiple locations with tailored offers for each store.

The goal is simple: make it cheaper and easier to get people in the door than running cold ads or hoping delivery apps save the day.

Why Bob’s Burger works

People love “free” — and they rarely stop at free.

  • Irresistible hooks: a small freebie (cookie, drink upsize, side) is cheap for you but feels generous to them.
  • Built around real behaviour: when people are already out and hungry, an extra nudge is all it takes.
  • Upside on every visit: even if they come for the free item, most will add mains, sides, or drinks.
  • Compounding list growth: every promo adds more people to your list — so each future text hits a bigger audience.
  • Control in your hands: no algorithm, no bidding wars, no hoping your post goes viral. Just direct communication with your own customers.
  • Channel-agnostic: works for restaurants, cafés, bars, event spaces, and any local business that doesn’t currently capture walk-in customer info.

Bob’s Burger doesn’t replace your other marketing — it gives you a reliable base layer of traffic you can trigger without asking permission from any platform.

Where Bob’s Burger shines

A fit for any place where people walk in, buy, and go.

  • Restaurants & takeout: “Free side for first 20 orders today” or “Free dessert night once a month.”
  • Cafés: “Free upsize on any coffee between 12–5 PM” to turn your dead hours into steady traffic.
  • Bars: “First drink upgrade on us before 7 PM” to warm up your evening service.
  • Event spaces: “VIP early entry” or “Bonus snack” for people who join your SMS list.
  • Any local business that doesn’t capture customer info today but wants a list tomorrow.

The mechanics stay simple: enticing in-store offer → quick sign-up → they claim in person → you keep the contact and can invite them back any time.

FAQs
Do I need to learn new software?

No. We set everything up for you and keep the day-to-day as simple as possible. Your team just needs to know what today’s offer is and where to point customers.

Will this annoy my customers?

The goal is quality over spam. We help you keep a cadence like once a week or once every two weeks, with offers that feel valuable enough to justify the message.

What if I only have one location?

Bob’s Burger works whether you have one busy store or many. The difference with multiple locations is simply how we split promos and offers across the map.

Can I control the offers and timing?

Yes. You approve every promo and decide which days and time windows you want to push. We recommend ideas and best practices based on what works across other locations.

How fast can I expect to see impact?

Short-term, you can feel a difference as soon as you send your first “slow-hour” promo. Long-term, the real magic is having hundreds or thousands of locals you can reach whenever you need a bump.
