What was wrong before we started?
The starting point
Inquiries about diner group visits arrived with no hint of their origin. Discussions about what to improve drew on memory rather than evidence.
What it cost the team
When it comes to diner group visits, content reviews ran on recollection and seniority. The most-read page and the most persuasive page were assumed, wrongly, to be the same.
What we built
Each inquiry now records its originating page and service category alongside party size, arrival time and seating needs. A basic report separates submitted inquiries from raw visits and keeps reporting apart from sensitive message content.

What changed for the team
With diner group visits, decisions about pages can follow the data the site actually collects. The walkthrough shows measurement being established, not results being promised.

I asked for one number: which page prompts diner group visits contact. We finally have it, and it settled several long-running arguments.
Questions about this project
How long did this project take?
15 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 (originating-page field, service category, inquiry reporting, exclusion of sensitive message text) 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 Daniel Hollis, owner, used with permission.
