Arya Stark – If it is going to be, it is up to me.

Monitor your customer service levels, your marketing effectiveness and the quality of your food. Continuously drive to improve your offering. Too many restaurant owners do the same thing over and over and over again, running the same marketing, with the same menu and the same offer, and don’t get the results that they want or need.

Is Poor SEO Killing Your Restaurant?
Too many times we see customers with websites that are costing restaurants thousands of dollars every month through poor design, poor messaging and poor SEO. If your website could be improved to bring in 200 extra visits per month and just 10% of those made a booking, and each booking was for 2.5 seats on average at $50 a seat, you would have an extra $2,500 in revenue a month. A 30% food cost, that is $1,750 in profit extra a month. This ignores those customers coming back as regulars – which is more profit.
Remember, if these customers aren’t finding your Restaurant, they are finding your competitors.
