DISHIO × BUZZLEAD · THE HIVE · SEPTEMBER 2026
BuzzLead

Welcome to the Hive, Dishio.

Brett, we just finished a run with Lumion, vertical SaaS for trade schools with a first marketing hire and no outbound. Dishio is shaped the same way. It would have been wrong not to get this in front of you. So: a jar of honey, and the plan.

Underneath the jar: every US restaurant mapped, the 30,000 groups that look like Pour Decisions, and three campaigns we'd run for Dishio in the next 30 days.

Section 01 · Why there's honey on your desk

Three things came with the jar.

01

The honey

Raw, from a US apiary. Something you'll open instead of file.

02

This page

Your market sized, the customers you already win and the accounts that look like them, and three campaigns: TAM, lookalike, intent. Built for Dishio.

03

The call

Twenty minutes with Troy and Nick. We bring the account list we'd start with. You tell us where to start.

Section 02 · The company shaped like you

Lumion: zero pipeline to 50+ meetings in 31 days.

Vertical SaaS for trade and technical schools. First marketing hire, no outbound, a niche of 10,000 to 30,000 schools. We mapped five sub-verticals, timed the CDL play to a Pell Grant policy window, and routed replies straight to their SDRs. Same shape as Lumion: a public directory of buyers, a founder doing first-line outreach, and a purchase decision made by one operator, not a committee.

In the span of a month, we've had well over 100 positive responses. We've scheduled 45 to 55-plus meetings with an 80% hold rate.Andrew Jones, Head of Marketing, Lumion

Section 03 · The sweet part

What could be sweeter than 30,000 to 50,000 more of your best customers?

You already have the dream ones: the restaurant groups that grow, retain, and refer others without being asked. We take those, run them through our lookalike tool, and find another 30,000 to 50,000 that look exactly like them. Then we run hyper-personalized, highly targeted outreach to every one.

Same size, same setup, same reasons to buy as the accounts on the right. Modeled, not guessed.

Section 04 · Your market, sized

Every cell is a restaurant group.

Every US restaurant and bar sits in Google Maps' business directory, tagged by cuisine, location count, and price tier, alongside state liquor license and health permit rolls. We build the list from those, enrich the owner and GM contacts, and time outreach to slow-season budget resets.

Section 05 · Intent

You're the first supplier that comes to mind.

We'll actively monitor all 199,300 US full-service restaurants and reach out when the right signal shows up, so Dishio is the first name a multi-unit restaurant owner thinks of when growth marketing comes up.

Section 06 · Three strategies, deployed together

TAM, lookalike, intent. Every angle, from day one.

This isn't one list and one email. We deploy three strategies at once, each with its own angle: the whole market gets the offer, the accounts that mirror your best customers get the proof, and anyone showing a buying signal gets a note the week it happens. Then we double down on whichever one the market answers.

STRATEGY 1 · TAM

Own the whole market

TargetThe ~30,000 restaurant groups with 2 to 15 locations, mapped from Google Maps listings and state liquor license rolls
AngleOne platform for marketing and growth instead of five disconnected tools for ordering, reviews and loyalty
~30,000 ACCOUNTS
STRATEGY 2 · LOOKALIKE

Mirror your best customers

TargetRestaurant groups that mirror Pour Decisions: multi-unit, bar-forward operators expanding into new markets
AngleLead with Pour Decisions' growth numbers and what changed after they switched to Dishio
~30,000+ ACCOUNTS
STRATEGY 3 · INTENT

Catch them in-market

TargetGroups showing a buying signal this quarter: new location permit filed, marketing hire posted, review score dropping, POS or loyalty vendor switch
AngleA one-to-one note written from the specific signal, sent the week it happens
~9,000 PER YEAR ACCOUNTS

Section 08 · Join the Hive

The honey was the easy part.

Brett, we'll walk the three strategies above, show you the accounts we'd start with, and tell you what it would take. No deck.
