Case study, riverside bistro with terrace

A clearer first reply for bistro private dining

With bistro private dining, replies now start from substance rather than from questions.

Where the room started

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

The starting point

The riverside bistro with terrace handled bistro private dining through a single email-only page. Each message started a fresh guessing game about what the sender actually needed.

What was in the way

When it comes to bistro private dining, half of each response was spent assembling the basics. The actual answer waited on the sender replying to the follow-up.

What we built

The replacement form gathers occasion, guest count and preferred evening before anything is sent. Notifications arrive in a consistent layout, flag the type of inquiry and spell out that the next step is a private dining discussion with the restaurant.
