Customer Win-Back Campaigns for BBQ Restaurants

{"faqs":[{"answer":"Ads chase strangers; we reactivate people who already know your brisket. Our team makes real calls on your behalf and sends texts and emails in your name — with you approving every script and offer first, so nothing pushy or off-brand goes out. Pricing is transparent: a flat one-time setup based on list size plus outreach minutes at 9¢–21¢ that step down as volume grows, with texts and emails included rather than billed separately.","question":"How is this different from running my own email blasts or paying for ads?"}],"steps":[{"step":"1","title":"Free List Review","gradient":"from-orange-500 to-red-500","description":"Send us your POS, CRM, or spreadsheet list of past guests and catering quotes.

When you're not tracking yield and waste, your marketing budget becomes the next thing to get cut. Reactivating past guests costs far less than chasing strangers."},{"icon":"DollarSign","stat":"55–65% prime cost","color":"from-orange-500 to-yellow-500","title":"Prime Cost Eats Everything the Smoker Earns — 55–65% of Revenue Goes to Food and Labor","description":"Prime cost — food plus labor — typically runs 55–65% of revenue for restaurants, and BBQ is worse. Overnight pit shifts, trimming labor, and monitoring pits for hours push fully-burdened labor costs 25–40% higher than base wages once taxes, benefits, and insurance are counted. When margins are tight, there's no room for wasted marketing spend on cold leads. You need every known customer to come back."},{"icon":"Users","stat":"80% close within 5 years","color":"from-yellow-500 to-green-500","title":"Turnover and Closure Rates Leave No Room for Wasted Marketing — 80% of Restaurants Close Within Five Years","description":"Counter staff turnover runs high, driving up training costs and inconsistency at the register — while nearly 17% of restaurants close within their first year and 80% don't make it past five.
