What was wrong before we started?
The starting point
Requests about diner group visits landed in a shared inbox that several people watched between other duties. Nobody could see who had taken responsibility for what.
What it cost the team
For diner group visits, some inquiries got two answers and others got none. Holiday cover turned into a forensic exercise through the inbox before anyone dared reply.
What we built
Each request arrives with party size, arrival time and seating needs, is assigned to a responsible person, and shows its follow-up state. Cover is arranged in advance, not discovered in a crisis.

Questions about this project
How long did this project take?
20 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 (assignment rules, follow-up status, backup owner, internal request summary) 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 Helen Claybourne, group bookings coordinator, used with permission.
