Restaurants & cafés

More people through the door. More regulars coming back.

We set up the tools that help hungry locals find you, fill your slow nights, and turn first-timers into regulars.

Restaurant interior with tables set for service

New diners are hard to find, and the ones you have don't come back.

People search nearby and pick from the top results with the best reviews, so if you're not showing up and collecting them, they walk past your door. Then a first-timer has a great meal and never comes back, because no one asks them to join your club or sends a reason to return. A slow Tuesday could use a quick offer, but there's no easy way to reach past guests without calling each one by hand.

More ways in, quick offers, and guests who come back

We set up your Google profile, reviews and social posts so more people find you when they're hungry. A text and email club your guests join at the table fills slow nights with quick offers. And win-back messages and birthday offers turn first-timers into regulars. You don't learn new software. We build it, connect it and look after it.

Get found when people search nearby

When someone searches for a place to eat, they pick from the top results with the best reviews.

What we set up

  • Your Google Business Profile with up-to-date hours, photos and posts
  • A steady flow of new reviews
  • Scheduled posts to Instagram and Facebook
  • Facebook and Instagram ads for specials and events (Autopilot plan, ad spend extra)

Fill your slow nights

An empty table is a table that doesn't pay. When guests can join your club at the table and you can send a quick offer on a quiet night, the room fills without you calling each person by hand.

What we set up

  • A text and email club guests can join with a QR code at the table or counter
  • Offers sent to your club on quiet nights
  • Event and special announcements
  • Answers to booking, catering and event questions in one inbox

Turn first-timers into regulars

Your first-timers are the easiest regulars to create. They already liked the food, and they'd come back if someone gave them a reason. We keep you in front of them without you having to remember to.

What we set up

  • Birthday offers for club members
  • Review requests after visits
  • Win-back messages to guests you haven't seen in a while
  • A website chat for reservations and catering questions

How it works

How it works from a hungry search to a regular

Here's what happens from someone searching nearby to a full room on a Tuesday, a review after the meal, and a first-timer who becomes a regular, without you chasing each step by hand.

  1. 1

    More people find you

    Your Google profile, reviews and social posts bring hungry locals in when they search nearby.

  2. 2

    They join your club at the table

    A QR code at the table or counter lets guests sign up for offers and updates, so you build a list of people who want to hear from you.

  3. 3

    Slow nights get a quick offer

    When you have empty tables, you send a text offer to your club and the room fills without you calling each person.

  4. 4

    After their visit, they get a review request

    A friendly review request goes out automatically, and every review lands in one place to reply to.

  5. 5

    They come back and refer others

    Birthday offers, win-back texts and great reviews keep your name top of mind, so first-timers become regulars who bring friends.
