Case study, garden courtyard bistro

Self-sorting visitors on the bistro private dining page

Day to day with bistro private dining, the inbox now describes itself. Categories come attached to each message, and follow-ups no longer masquerade as new inquiries.

Where the room started

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

The starting point

The bistro private dining contact route was a single page for every kind of visitor. New business and ongoing conversations arrived indistinguishable.

What was in the way

For bistro private dining, staff opened each message blind. Sorting new business from ongoing threads required reading everything, every morning, by hand.

What we built

A simple opening choice between a new inquiry, an existing request and a general question now leads visitors to the appropriate route. The new-inquiry path asks for occasion, guest count and preferred evening.

New bistro private dining customers and existing ones use different doors, and we can see which is which before opening anything.
