What was wrong before we started?

The starting point

The website offered the same inquiry form to first-time visitors and to people chasing an existing diner group visits request.

What it cost the team

Day to day with diner group visits, every follow-up created a small mystery: who is this, and what were we discussing? The answers lived somewhere in the inbox, and finding them took time.

What we built

Returning contacts now have a short path: reference if available, then the question. New inquiries still gather party size, arrival time and seating needs on their own route, and subjects keep the streams apart.

How long did it take?

10 working days after content approval, including staff review and handover.

What changed for the team

For diner group visits, subjects now announce what a message is. Follow-ups reach the right thread quickly, and existing customers stop re-introducing themselves.

Our diner group visits customers have a history with us; the site finally acknowledges it. The follow-up route treats them like the returning contacts they are.

Questions about this project

How long did this project take?

10 working days after content approval, including staff review and handover. The clock starts once the team has approved the content, so the time goes on building and checking rather than waiting.

Which plan covers this kind of work?

Everything used here (existing-request contact route, optional reference field, separate email subjects, new-inquiry form) sits inside the standard build, so it is available on every plan, starting with The Single Counter at $117 a month. The $647 one-time build fee is invoiced after launch.

Why is the restaurant not named?

Clients are described by type, region and team size on purpose, so the story can be told in full without publishing anything about their business they did not want shared. The quote is from Daphne Thornton, front desk coordinator, used with permission.
