Old Quote & Estimate Follow-Up Campaigns for Full-Service Restaurants

{"faqs":[{"answer":"We take your list of past catering quotes, private-event estimates, and large-party inquiries — from a CRM, spreadsheet, or POS export exactly as it is — and segment it by recency. Our team then calls, texts, and emails those guests in your restaurant's name with a fresh angle, like a seasonal menu or holiday private-dining push. You approve every script and offer before anything is sent, and replies route into your booking process.","question":"How does old quote follow-up work for a full-service restaurant specifically?"},{"answer":"No. CallMyCustomers is fully done-for-you — there's no software to buy or learn. We work from whatever list you already have, and everything is handled by our team. You just approve the campaign and receive the bookings.","question":"Do I need to buy or install any restaurant marketing software?"},{"answer":"Complete control. The owner approves every script, offer, and message before anything is sent. We plan the campaign together, you sign off, and only then do we run it — so the outreach always sounds like your restaurant, not a call center.","question":"How much control do I have over what my guests are told?"},{"answer":"Win-back campaigns typically run two to four weeks end-to-end, and replies often start arriving as soon as the first wave of outreach goes out. Bookings come with confirmations and no-show follow-up, and we keep the relationship warm afterward with review requests and seasonal reminders.","question":"How long before I see bookings from an old-quote campaign?"},{"answer":"Ads target strangers and cost you acquisition prices; we work only from your list of real customers and past inquiries, which is roughly 5x cheaper than acquiring someone new. There's no per-seat or software pricing — you pay a flat setup fee quoted at the free list review, plus outreach minutes that step down from 21¢ to 9¢ as volume grows, with texts and emails already included in the quote.","question":"How is this different from hiring a marketing agency or running ads to win back lapsed guests?"}],"steps":[{"step":"1","title":"Free list review","gradient":"from-orange-500 to-red-500","description":"Send us your old quotes and estimate list — CRM, spreadsheet, or POS export, no cleanup needed.

When a catering or private event quote goes cold — often because guests simply forget within 12 months (78.8% churn rate) — all that pre-sale labor vanishes with no revenue to show for it. Reactivating these known contacts is roughly 5x cheaper than acquiring new guests, turning dead quotes into a second revenue engine without repeating costly acquisition efforts."},{"icon":"DollarSign","stat":"5x cheaper","color":"from-orange-500 to-yellow-500","title":"Dead quotes are your most expensive waste","description":"You already spent the labor and marketing dollars to earn that inquiry — the tasting conversation, the event walkthrough, the back-and-forth on menu pricing while elevated labor costs squeeze profitability.
