What We Inherited
Three beloved locations operating entirely on institutional memory. No CRM, no unified customer data, and no way to know who their best guests were or how to reach them outside the four walls. The owners had a real business worth scaling and no infrastructure that could survive it.
What We Built
A modern data and marketing operating foundation built for growth. Unified customer identity across all three locations — connecting visit history, preference data, and engagement signals into a single record per guest. Lifecycle programs built on behavioral triggers. Direct channel communications priced to run at a frequency that actually builds habit. And a brand system designed to hold across every location without losing the warmth that had always made it work.
What Changed
Repeat visit frequency climbed significantly. Customer lifetime value grew from $420 to $680. And when the expansion conversation returned, the infrastructure was ready — because it had been built to scale from the beginning.
