New shops likely to want card payments

What it does

Every weekday: shops and restaurants that opened in the last 6 months, only the new ones, Jev's chance that each already takes cards, the likely cash-only ones matched to the nearest sales agent, saved and emailed.

In one sentence: Mon–Fri at 08:00, in Lagos, find restaurants, supermarkets and 2 more in the area, keep only new ones, decide with Jev, keep those where takes_cards ≤ 40, find the nearest of your points, then add row in Google Sheets and email the list to you.

Why it is useful

New merchants choose a payment provider in their first months. Finding the ones that do not take cards yet, and sending the closest agent, wins them first.

The time it saves

Mon–Fri at 08:00. Doing the same work by hand takes about 60 minutes each time; it runs about 22 times a month, so it saves about 22 hours a month (an estimate). It is medium: 9 blocks.
