The challenge

GetJel.ly needed to book product demos with restaurants across London to support revenue growth and upcoming fundraising. The main challenges included navigating gatekeepers, unpredictable hours, and the general busyness of the restaurant industry. They required a high volume of qualified appointments to demonstrate momentum for their next funding round.

What we did

Pearl Lemon built a 12,000-restaurant prospect list using TripAdvisor, focusing on key decision-maker indicators. They developed a unique calling strategy tailored for restaurant outreach, including optimized calling times, short value-first scripts, and immediate rebooking. The team worked closely with GetJel.ly, engaging in rapid testing and iteration to refine their approach.

The results

The structured calling process generated 10-15+ appointments per week, alongside dozens of warm leads and email follow-ups. In just eight weeks, the campaign delivered an average of 22+ weekly warm leads and consistent outreach across 12,000 restaurant prospects. This strong momentum successfully supported GetJel.ly's fundraising goals.
