Running a restaurant all year long isn’t easy, especially when seasonality hits hard in the winter. 

That’s why Manny Voumvourakis, founder of Smok Haus, started using Resquared to prospect more efficiently — and he’s already seeing the results.

Recently, Manny shared what’s been working for him:

✨ A new, more intuitive interface
⚡ Sending thousands of emails with just a few clicks
💵 Closing a $1,000 deal thanks to a single well-targeted email
🚀 Expansion plans already in motion

Here’s what came out of that conversation — and how Resquared is helping Smok Haus move even faster:

‍

1️⃣ A promising start:

“I firmly believe in your technology.”

Right at the beginning of the call, Manny shared some great news:

“We’re booking deals. I want to start talking about getting the list from Manhattan.
I’m not looking at the return on investment right now. I firmly believe in your technology.”

He made it clear: even without focusing on returns at this moment, he sees the real potential in Resquared to help boost sales, especially with spring and summer (his busiest seasons) just around the corner.

2️⃣ The power of a fresh, dynamic interface

Manny made a point to highlight how the new Resquared design is “working really well” and making his outreach much easier.

Here’s what he showed us:

🔍 Searching for businesses by location and status (you can now use AI Search)
📋 Selecting thousands of leads at once
📂 Easily creating segmented lists
📩 Instantly creating and launching email sequences (you can now use AI Sequences too!)

💡 You can check out the new look in our latest customer webinar — watch it here.

This smoother experience allows him to build huge lists, apply filters like “no restaurants,” and launch mass outreach — all without complex steps.

3️⃣ Real results:

A $1,000 deal from just one email

One of the best parts of the conversation was when Manny told us about a lead who replied right away to an offer he sent through Resquared:

“I had sent him the offer. He’s like, ‘always love trying any place to do stuff for a crew’. We booked a done deal: $1,000.”

This is a perfect example of how cold outreach (see our post explaining what that is) can work when done right — even in the off-season. 

Manny made it clear: this is just the beginning. He’s still not using the platform to its full potential.

4️⃣ His expansion strategy:

“The whole world is my customer.”

Sometimes Manny excludes restaurants or adds filters, but most of the time he prefers to go big. 

He’s one of those customers who’s found his way of using the platform — and it works.

Here’s how he does it:

📋 Creates massive lists with thousands of businesses (instead of segmenting by niche)
📤 Sends a large volume of emails all at once, trusting the platform to handle it
⚙️ Only makes small adjustments when necessary, keeping the momentum going

“You know, the whole world is my customer. It’s a beautiful thing. I’m a guinea pig.” — Manny

He sees it all as one big test — and just by letting the platform “run,” results are coming in.

5️⃣ Seasonality and long-term planning

Manny reminded us that spring through the end of the year is when business is booming — but even in winter, he doesn’t stop prospecting.

“Spring through the end of the year is our busiest time of year. So we’re approaching that busy season.”

His mindset is clear: plant now, harvest later. Resquared helps him keep a steady flow of leads so he doesn’t miss out when demand picks up.

6️⃣ What’s next: AI, pricing & new regions

🧠 AI
Manny is excited about our new AI features — AI Search and AI Sequences — which are already making things easier for many of our users.

📍 Expanding to Manhattan
Manny currently uses Resquared in Queens and Brooklyn, but he has already asked us to add Manhattan.

Because when numbers go up, so does your business. And for Manny, bundling the three boroughs just makes sense — it opens up even more opportunity.

Conclusion

Manny’s experience shows how Resquared adapts to different styles — whether you like detailed segmentation or prefer a high-volume strategy.

In both cases, the new interface is proving to be simple, powerful, and results-driven.
