At a kebab restaurant in Bursa Yıldırım, affiliate Burak walked up to the owner during the lull after lunch and asked for exactly 15 minutes. Nine months later, that same script had produced 31 demos and 17 closed Pro+ accounts. This is the minute-by-minute breakdown — drop it into your own field rotation.
Minutes 0-5: Problem and Live QR
The first 2 minutes are pure problem framing: the annual cost of laminated menus, the pain of reprinting on every price change, the awkward 10-minute wait when a German tourist cannot read your Turkish menu. Burak prefers a concrete anecdote here — a real story beats generic statistics.
The next 3 minutes are the most critical: pull out your own phone, scan a live QR code, and load a demo restaurant menu in front of the owner. Do not show a static screenshot on a tablet — perform the scan. When the owner says “wait, that fast?” you have already won 60% of the sale.
Minutes 5-10: Editor and Tiers
Spend the next 5 minutes in the admin editor. Burak asked the owner for his bestseller — Adana kebab — then changed the price live and re-scanned the QR. The 2-second propagation visibly impresses owners who have spent years coordinating reprints with their printer.
Walk through tiers in 60 seconds: Starter ($0) for QR and custom domain, Pro ($29) for waiter calls + bill requests + AI fill, Platinum ($59) for table ordering. Then ask one direct question: “Do customers wave at staff to call them over?” The answer is yes 80% of the time, which steers you to Pro.
Minutes 10-15: Price and Coupon
Use 3 minutes on the price objection. Compare the annual Pro plan ($290 = $24/month) to one laminated reprint cycle (~$180/year). Burak’s closer: “Sell one extra Adana and you have covered this month.” It works because it is literally true.
The final 2 minutes are the coupon hand-off. Your affiliate code gives the restaurant a 5% Stripe discount and earns you 20% lifetime commission. Open the signup screen on your tablet, type the code, hand the device over, and ask the owner to enter their card. Never leave the table without trying to close warm.
FAQ
Should I book an appointment? No. Burak’s appointment-based conversion is 20%; cold table-side conversion is 55%. Best window is 14:00-16:00 after lunch service.
Is 15 minutes really enough? Yes. Longer pitches trigger “let me think about it.” Short, live, decisive wins.
Which device should I bring? Tablet beats phone. An iPad mini lets the owner watch your screen comfortably; a phone forces them to lean in awkwardly.
