Selecting a reservations system is much more of a commercial decision than a reservations department one. Once a reservations system has been selected, we ensure the algorithm works in harmony with your restaurant needs. By spending time on your restaurant floor, our team will be able to optimise your system in order to capture more reservations, keeping in mind your service flow, your kitchen capacity and your Front of House (FOH) sequence of service. The result? A fundamental improvement in your guest journey experience.
It’s no secret that in the 21st century, the restaurant floor does not provide the optimum environment for a reservations service of excellence. Our dedicated team is ready and waiting to answer calls and reply to emails, personally and professionally, from the countless guests trying to contact your venue. Each call and email enquiry has the potential to be converted into another loyal guest - and beyond into a returning customer - generating increased revenue to your business. Professional, Personalised and Present describes us better. Your guests are your business. It’s not enough to simply accommodate your guests. Make your guests feel like you really care from the second they pick up the phone to make an enquiry.
It’s all too easy to get caught up in the fast-paced business of day-to-day restaurant operations. Our weekly and monthly reports will enable you, at a glance, to understand your business from a data point of view. You will be able to clearly identify your weaknesses and your strengths, allowing you to strategise your investments, marketing campaigns and social activations. Numbers don’t lie.
Your Hosting team is the face of the venue, first contact, the maestro of the bookings and the last person in contact with your guests. The guest journey begins with them. Their actions impact directly on the success of the overall operation.
As for your Events team, they must be organised, responsive, business and sales driven.
Reservations, Hosting and Events teams must be on the same page, as their cohesion, communication and combined goals are essential for the success of the outlet as a whole. Your guests need to feel that information is clear and consistent regardless of who they speak with and that your company is professional and on point. We will train these departments to work seamlessly as one, ensuring the best guest experience.
Our team will profile and segment your database. This will allow you to identify your best spenders and most loyal guests, as well as enabling you to reach out to those with whom you have lost touch.
Your business will be able to design bespoke and tailormade activations, targeting the different individuals on your database. A wine pairing menu for the wine connoisseurs, or a cocktail masterclass for the shaker lovers. Make connections that count. Do not waste your time, money and resources reaching out to the wrong people.
Together we will work on strategies for key dates such as Valentine’s Day and New Year’s Eve, amongst many other significant occasions throughout the year that your business should aim to optimise to its benefit.
Meeting with your Management Team, we will put together a plan for upcoming events. Strategy, target audience, menus, photography and commercial approach; planning is key.
It’s all about being ahead of competition. We will set dates for the different projects to be delivered ahead of going live to the public. We will help your team focus on what really matters.
Debriefing is not critique – it’s information flow to aid improvement. Processing the event and taking stock of what worked and what didn’t is essential to facilitate learning and help prepare for future activations. It’s here where we meet the team again to understand what worked and what to avoid moving forward. That’s how we evolve, that’s how we become better.
Now that your team knows how to deliver, you have identified your ideal customer and your strategy for the year is clear, it’s time to make the reservations platform work to your advantage. Shoulder times, off-peak, key dates, prime time upsells and simple activations made possible by using your database and reaching out to those who can’t wait to hear from you.
Transform your guest into a loyal customer; one who will keep coming back again, and again, and again
