  pains:

  • Needs customers for a launch or slow period without managing creators personally

objections

• objection: Will views actually bring paying diners?
  response: Ask for unique campaign codes, visit tracking and an agreed measurement window; view and sales case studies are examples, not guarantees.
• objection: Will it fit a small restaurant's budget?
  response: Scope the creator count, ads and any guarantee on a call; the published range is broad and depends on the engagement.
• objection: Do promotions only attract bargain hunters?
  response: Discuss rewards and retention strategy; Upswell describes using free items and follow-up to encourage repeat visits.
