Predict guest behavior with greater accuracy

Attracting guests should never be a matter of guesswork. A quick service restaurant believed that increasing prices in higher-income areas would improve overall revenue, and they acted on that belief without testing first. When the numbers weren’t what they expected, they conducted a retroactive test and learned that increasing prices had resulted in a 3% reduction in total sales.

Identify what processes are most effective

Just because your competitors are trying something new doesn’t mean you should jump on the bandwagon without testing it first. Because curbside pickup can be an effective way to reduce overhead costs and increase sales when it aligns with guests’ preferences, a MarketDial client tested to see if providing the service would result in an uptick in sales and traffic. They learned, however, that it provided a neutral lift with no impact on sales or revenue.

Plan ahead for increases in foot traffic

Knowing where marketing will succeed and the impact it will have on foot traffic can help you ensure you are adequately staffed ahead of time. One restaurant tested to see if increasing advertising spend in two markets would drive growth. It did. They saw a 9% lift in revenue in those markets and were able to plan accordingly with this foresight. Your customers will love you for creating short wait times!
