The Challenge

Botanica Cafe had 15k Instagram followers and beautiful food photos. Lots of likes but weekday lunches were empty. No way for followers to book tables—they had to call during busy times. Many gave up and went elsewhere. Lost weekend brunch customers who couldn't get through on phones. Social media wasn't converting to actual revenue.

💡Our Solution

Built restaurant website with integrated table booking system linked from Instagram bio. Customers book online anytime, choosing date, time, party size. Automated confirmations and reminders reduce no-shows. Featured menu with food photography matching Instagram aesthetic. Added special event bookings for private functions. Google Business integration captures local searches.

Instagram brought awareness but bookings bring revenue. Now followers can actually book tables instead of just liking photos. Weekday lunches went from slow to solidly booked. Game-changer for revenue.
