Automation & CRM

Marketing Automation & CRM for Restaurants in Adelaide

Every diner who walks out your door is a potential regular. Marketing automation captures their details, nurtures the relationship, and brings them back — automatically. Stop losing customers to silence and start building a database that drives bookings.

The Problem

Sound familiar?

Adelaide's restaurant scene is built on repeat customers. The diners who come back month after month are worth ten times more than a one-time visitor. But most restaurants have no system to capture guest data, follow up after a visit, or re-engage diners who haven't returned. Marketing automation solves all of this.

You Don't Capture Guest Data

Hundreds of diners visit your restaurant every week, but you have no record of who they are, when they visited, or how to reach them. Without a CRM, every guest walks out your door and you have no way to invite them back. Your booking system captures names but does nothing with them.

Follow-Up Is Non-Existent

A couple had an amazing dinner at your restaurant last Saturday. They loved the food, the wine, the service. But you never follow up. No thank-you message, no review request, no invitation to return. That couple dines somewhere else next month because nobody reminded them how great your restaurant is.

Special Events Need Manual Promotion

You're hosting a wine dinner in three weeks. You post on social media and send an email blast — if you get around to it. With automation, every past diner who expressed interest in wine receives a targeted invitation weeks in advance. No manual effort, no missed opportunities.

You Can't Identify or Reward Your Best Guests

You know some faces are regulars, but you don't track visit frequency or spending. You can't identify your top 50 guests, reward their loyalty, or target them with exclusive offers. Your best customers feel like just another reservation instead of the VIPs they should be.

The Solution

How we help

We set up marketing automation that turns every guest into a long-term regular.

01

Guest CRM & Database Building

We integrate with your booking system to capture guest data and build a comprehensive CRM. Every reservation, every visit, every preference is recorded. You'll know exactly who your guests are, how often they dine, what they spend, and when they last visited. This data powers everything else.

02

Post-Visit Automation

After every visit, guests automatically receive a thank-you message, a review request, and an invitation to book again. This sequence runs without any input from your team. It drives Google reviews, builds guest loyalty, and keeps your restaurant top of mind for the next time they're choosing where to eat.

03

VIP & Loyalty Programs

We set up automated loyalty tiers that identify and reward your best guests. Frequent diners receive exclusive offers, early access to events, and personalised treatment that makes them feel valued. Automated milestone messages celebrate their loyalty and strengthen the relationship.

04

Event & Seasonal Campaign Automation

Wine dinners, seasonal menu launches, Valentine's Day, Mother's Day — every event is automatically promoted to the right segment of your database. Past attendees get first access. Interested diners receive reminders. No manual email blasts needed. Your events fill themselves.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How much does marketing automation cost for restaurants?+
Our marketing automation packages for restaurants start with a $1,500 setup fee plus $297/month. The setup includes CRM integration with your booking system, automated email sequences, loyalty program setup, and staff training. The monthly fee covers platform costs, ongoing optimisation, and campaign management.
Does it integrate with our booking system?+
Yes. We integrate with major booking platforms including OpenTable, ResDiary, Quandoo, and others. Guest data flows automatically from your booking system into the CRM. If you use a manual booking process, we can set up alternative data capture methods. The goal is seamless, automatic data collection.
How does the post-visit follow-up work?+
After a guest dines at your restaurant, they automatically receive a sequence of messages over the following days. A thank-you email within 24 hours, a review request after 2-3 days, and an invitation to book again after 2-3 weeks. The timing and content are optimised for maximum engagement. It all happens automatically.
Will guests find the emails annoying?+
Not at all. The sequences are thoughtful, well-timed, and valuable. Guests appreciate a genuine thank-you, and the review request is positioned as feedback rather than marketing. The re-engagement messages are infrequent and always include something compelling — a new menu, a special event, or an exclusive offer. Unsubscribe rates are typically very low.
How long does setup take?+
Most restaurant automation systems are set up and live within 3-4 weeks. This includes booking system integration, CRM setup, email sequence creation, loyalty program configuration, and staff training. We handle the technical setup and ensure everything is working smoothly before launch.
