The channel customers already use

The directory lists seven takeaways, from fish and chips to Indian and Greek, and we publish a best fish and chips guide. Customers rarely write long emails. They send a line on WhatsApp.

"Are you open now?" "Do you deliver to Bedhampton?" "Can you do a party order for Saturday?"

Where the leads are

The party order and the repeat catering enquiry are leads. They arrive in the middle of a rush and wait until the kitchen closes. By then the customer has asked elsewhere.

What good follow-up looks like

- An immediate reply from approved facts: opening hours, delivery area, how to place an order.
- A question for the lead: date, numbers, what they have in mind.
- A nudge if they go quiet, and an end to the chase when they say no.
- A record of every conversation so staff see the history.

The allergy line

Allergen information is a safety matter. A system should never answer "is this safe for a nut allergy?" from guesswork. It should say that a member of staff will confirm and alert someone at once. The same applies to complaints and anything unusual.

Remember the permissions

Businesses should only message people who have contacted them or agreed to hear from them. Follow-up exists to finish a conversation the customer started, not to start new ones.
