Ideal Customer Profile
Side A β Restaurants (supply)
Who they are
- Independent restaurants and small groups (1β10 venues)
- Active on social media but inconsistent β not enough capacity to keep up
- Owner makes the marketing decisions (no agency, no marketing team)
- Spending several hours per week on content + maybe a freelancer / agency at \$300β\$1,500/month
- 82% of restaurants run social themselves β but only 10% pay a third party. The other 72% are our target.
Why they join us
- Daily content done for them β they save time
- Pricing far below agency rates (subscription replaces a much more expensive freelancer)
- Brand campaigns bring traffic and revenue back to the venue (free brand-funded ads, brand-paid offers)
- Approval flow runs in WhatsApp β no new app, no learning curve
Where they are today
- CZ β home market, deepest density, Coca-Cola pilot live here
- US β first revenue, network being seeded for brand expansion
- DE β first revenue, early stage
Side B β Beverage brand managers (demand Β· primary monetization)
Who they are
Brand managers inside beverage holdcos. Each runs an independent P&L for their brand, owns trade marketing budget, makes quarterly buying decisions without C-suite sign-off.
Two segments inside this ICP:
Segment 1 β Portfolio brand managers (large holdcos)
Brand managers inside CPG portfolio companies. Each holdco has 20β30 independent brand teams.
- Coca-Cola Company β Coca-Cola, Sprite, Fanta, Smartwater, Vitaminwater, Topo Chico, BodyArmor, Costa Coffee, Honest Tea, Minute Maid, Powerade, Simply Pop, Monster (partnership), and 10+ more
- PepsiCo β Pepsi, Mountain Dew, Gatorade, Tropicana, Lipton, Starbucks RTD, Aquafina, Bubly, Rockstar, Poppi (acquired \$1.95B), and more
- Keurig Dr Pepper β Dr Pepper, 7UP, Snapple, Bai, Core Hydration, and others
- NestlΓ© Β· Danone Β· Red Bull β same dynamic
We sell at the brand-manager layer, not at C-suite. Inside a single holdco, that's 20β30 independent buying decisions per quarter.
Segment 2 β Emerging beverage brands
Independent beverage brands seeking distribution into restaurants. Shorter sales cycles, more entrepreneurial buyers, often founder-led marketing decisions.
- Liquid Death (\$1.4B valuation), Olipop, Poppi (acquired by PepsiCo \$1.95B), Athletic Brewing, Celsius (\$10B+ public)
- Pre-launch and early-stage non-alc brands hunting for restaurant placement
Why they pay
- Measurable lift β views-based pricing, Tier 2 / Tier 3 outcome-based premium
- Reach across fragmented restaurants in one campaign β no per-venue negotiation
- Brand managers can run quarterly buys without procurement overhead
- Offline trade dollars (menus, displays, glassware) get a digital alternative with attribution
Sales cycles
- Anchor enterprise relationship (first contract inside a holdco) β 3β6 months. Coca-Cola Czechia took roughly six months from intro to commercial pilot.
- Per-brand expansion within the same holdco β 4β8 weeks (master agreement + legal already in place).
- Per-campaign renewal β quarterly, rolling.
- Emerging-brand deals β 2β6 weeks (founder-led, no procurement layer).
Where the two sides meet
We aggregate restaurant supply through subscriptions, then sell that supply to brand managers as views inventory. Restaurants get content + paid traffic; brand managers get measurable scale across fragmented venues.
Without the supply side, no inventory. Without the demand side, no scale. Both ICPs are essential β but brand-manager revenue is the upside that makes the math work.
