What was wrong before we started?
The starting point
Preparation advice for diner group visits went out by hand from the traditional greasy spoon café, one rewritten email at a time. The wording drifted a little further with each sender.
What it cost the team
Day to day with diner group visits, the notes drifted out of sync, and people arrived at the first conversation with very different ideas of what was needed.
What we built
One maintained page covers party size, arrival time and seating needs and gives an overview of breakfast hours and the group seating policy. Online forms stay limited to initial inquiry details, with sensitive records handled through the approved internal process afterwards.
Features used
Linked items open the matching section on the features page.
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, one link replaced a drifting set of emails. First discussions begin prepared, and the boundary around sensitive documents is explicit.

I point people to the diner group visits guide and the explaining is done. No more hurried rewrites of the same email at four o'clock.
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 (preparation page, minimal initial fields, staff-approved instructions, secure-process signposting) 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 Halima Sheikh, host team supervisor, used with permission.
