NEED HELP WITH GETTING CLIENTS

Hey everyone,

I’ve been building in the restaurant niche for Voice AI. Got one solid client build done (inbound call handling, reservations, orders, CRM automation). But it’s been 2 months and zero new leads. Looking for honest feedback on what I’m doing wrong.

Current acquisition methods:

LinkedIn - Posting regularly, commenting on ICP posts (though restaurant owners are barely active on LI), DMing daily.

Cold email - Running campaigns on Instantly targeting US restaurant owners. Decent send volume, but zero replies converting to calls.

My questions:

Is restaurant even the right niche to be targeting right now for Voice AI? Or is there a hotter niche I should pivot to (or at least test in parallel)?
For those selling to restaurant owners - what channel actually works? They seem nearly impossible to reach on LinkedIn.
Is there something fundamentally broken in my approach - wrong channel, wrong offer framing, wrong ICP?

Happy to share my email copy or LinkedIn DM script if that helps diagnose the issue.

Thanks
