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.
