For a steakhouse running a dry-aging program with skilled line cooks managing subprimal fabrication and reverse sear methods, that means your GM or front-of-house manager is answering Google reviews at 1 a.m. instead of managing fire tickets during peak dinner service.

With only 42% of U.S. restaurants profitable in 2024, most steakhouses can't afford to let a missed reservation go unaddressed.
