Tonight is the busiest Tuesday in 11 weeks. 82 covers booked — your server-to-cover ratio is light by 1.
Last time you ran lean on a Tuesday this size, tips dropped 14% and you got two "slow service" reviews. Pulling Maya in by 6 PM closes the gap.
Bookings
Friday is filling fast — 96 of 110 covers locked in by Tuesday morning. That's a 3-day lead vs. average.
Sales
Revenue is up but cocktail mix is down 6% — guests are ordering more apps and fewer second drinks. Worth a glance at the bar flow.
What guests are saying
Theme of the week: staff by name (+9 mentions). One soft signal — bar pacing showed up three times.
"Sofia made our anniversary feel like the only table in the room."
"Cocktails took a while at the bar but the lamb was worth waiting for."
"@northbeach.luca: 'New patio is the move. Bring friends.'"
Brand alignment
Voice and visuals match across IG and Google. TikTok is going quiet, and OpenTable menu is the one thing to nudge today.
Three experiments worth trying
Drawn from this week's signals. Each one is small enough to try by Sunday.
Pre-shift cocktail batch on Tuesdays
Cocktail mix down 6%. Batching the top 3 cuts bar time ~40s per ticket.
Friday neighborhood prix-fixe
Regulars +22 this week. A $48 menu could deepen the local loop.
