LokalNeeds Restaurant Acquisition Specialist

## Restaurant Merchant Acquisition & Onboarding – LokalNeeds We are looking for a freelancer with **merchant acquisition / restaurant onboarding / B2B field sales experience** to onboard restaurants onto LokalNeeds. ### What is LokalNeeds? LokalNeeds helps restaurants create their own **direct online ordering link** for WhatsApp and pickup orders. Example: **lokalneeds.in/your-business-name** Restaurants can share this link through WhatsApp, Instagram, QR codes and directly with their existing customers. ### Your Responsibility You will: * Find suitable restaurants, bakeries, cloud kitchens and food businesses. * Contact restaurant owners/decision-makers through WhatsApp, Instagram, phone or direct outreach. * Explain and demonstrate LokalNeeds. * Handle basic questions and objections. * Help interested businesses get onboarded. * Make sure their ordering page/menu is activated. * Encourage the business to actually share/use its LokalNeeds ordering link. We already have some sample Instagram business leads. You can use these leads or find your own suitable businesses. ### Important This is **NOT simply a lead-generation or messaging project**. Success will be measured primarily by **businesses successfully onboarded and activated**, not by: * Number of messages sent * Number of leads collected * Number of calls made * Social-media views/followers ### Preferred Experience We prefer freelancers who have previously worked in: * Merchant acquisition * Restaurant onboarding * Food-tech sales * POS/software sales * Payment/QR merchant onboarding * B2B field sales * SaaS sales to small businesses Experience onboarding merchants for restaurant, delivery, POS, payments or local-commerce platforms is a strong advantage. ### When Applying Please answer: **1. What merchant/restaurant acquisition experience do you have?** **2. How many businesses did you personally onboard per month in your previous role?** **3. What was your process from first contact until merchant activation?** **4. Are you comfortable being evaluated based on successfully activated businesses rather than number of leads/messages?** We would like to begin with a **small paid pilot**. If the results are good, this can become an ongoing merchant-acquisition project.
