Case study, family-owned french-style bistro

Clear ownership for bistro private dining inquiries

When it comes to bistro private dining, ownership, status and backup are visible at a glance.

Where the room started

The situation before the work, in the team's own terms.

The starting point

All bistro private dining mail arrived in one shared box watched by several people between other tasks. Responsibility attached to whoever felt guilty first.

What was in the way

With bistro private dining, two people sometimes answered the same message while another inquiry sat untouched. Covering a colleague's day off meant reading entire threads just to learn their status.

What we built

Requests now arrive with occasion, guest count and preferred evening, an assigned owner and a straightforward status marker. Absences are covered by a nominated backup rather than by guesswork.
