HOW IT WORKS

Just send an email

1

Write it like the real thing

Draft the exact email you plan to send a restaurant or non-commercial operator, from the domain you'll actually send from.

2

Send it to operator@firstbite.ai

Address it as if it were your target contact. Our agent reads it the way a busy operator would, on a phone, between lunch and dinner rush.

3

Get your report

See your overall grade, your forecasted reply rate, and a recommendation for each of the eight factors, so you know what to fix first.

WHAT IT GRADES

The eight factors behind every operator reply

Built on analysis of 1M+ emails sent through First Bite by food and beverage manufacturers to foodservice decision makers. Miss one factor, and performance drops fast.

01

Deliverability

DMARC, DKIM, and SPF records plus a warmed-up domain. Land in spam and nothing else matters.

02

At-a-glance appeal

Your subject line and first line have to earn the tap. You have about five seconds.

03

Personalization

Go beyond standard merge tags and make your message highly relevant to the operator.

04

Value prop

Answer the operator's question, “What's in it for me?”, before you talk about your product.

05

Clear call to action

Every outreach email needs one clear ask, and only one.

06

Brevity

Stay under 90 words. Save the full story for when they respond.

07

Brand presence

Operators look you up before they reply. Your website and social act as a silent second email.

08

Human tonality

Operators can tell when AI wrote it. Do the targeting work first, then use AI to scale.

WHY A REAL EMAIL

It checks what a copy-paste tool can't

Because you actually send it, the Feedback Agent looks past the words on the page. It also tests:

Your domain's deliverability
How it shows up in an inbox
How it reads on a phone
Your brand's online presence
“Foodservice prospecting is kind of like flying an airplane. There are eight things you have to get right on email to see results and get operator responses.”
