    5 revisions a month of any size, each done within 2 to 5 working days, requested from your client portal.

Questions about the case studies

Are these case studies real?

Yes. Each one is a real EateryWebStudio client project, written up with the client and published with permission. The quote on every page is the client contact's own words.

Why is the business name not shown?

We publish the kind of room, the region and the team size rather than the name, so each study stays about the work and the result instead of being an advert for one restaurant. The person quoted is named, with their role.

How long did these projects take?

Between 10 and 25 working days after the client approved the content, including staff review and handover. Every study states its own timeline.

Why are so many about private dining inquiries?

Private dining and group bookings are where a restaurant website most often loses money quietly: an inquiry with no guest count, no date and no reply. Most of these projects fixed one specific step in that path, which is why each study is narrow and concrete.

Can you do the same for my restaurant?

Yes. Everything in these studies is built on our normal plans, from $117 a month with a $647 build fee invoiced only after launch. The Table is live in 7 days from your onboarding call.

Do you show star ratings or review scores?

No. We publish what clients actually said and what actually changed. We never add star ratings, scores or review counts.
