Booking, group, and catering inquiries are won or lost mostly on reply speed and follow-up discipline. Share this list with everyone who answers the phone, so the process stays the same when shifts change.
First reply and speed
- A first-reply target is written down for service hours (for example, 15 minutes), and outside service hours the next-morning reply time is set.
- WhatsApp, Instagram messages, phone calls, and web forms are tracked from a single list or a single inbox.
- The after-hours auto-reply is on and states the opening time.
