What was wrong before we started?
The starting point
The farm shop breakfast diner had a contact page for diner group visits that amounted to an email link. What arrived depended entirely on what the sender thought to include.
What it cost the team
Day to day with diner group visits, every reply began with the same round of questions just to establish the basics. When the phones were busy, that exchange routinely slipped a full day.
What we built
The inquiry form was rebuilt to collect party size, arrival time and seating needs before sending. Arrivals follow a fixed, readable format, carry a category label and set expectations by naming a response from the shift supervisor as the next step.

The first message about diner group visits finally tells me why someone is getting in touch. It is basic, and it was exactly what we were missing.
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 (purpose-specific fields, readable notifications, clear response expectations) 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 Hussein Jabbour, floor manager, used with permission.
