Restaurants & Food ServiceClient Communication & Experience3MediumOwner$ implied

A brunch restaurant chain struggles to collect actionable guest feedback on taste and pricing, and lacks an effective loyalty program and direct online ordering channel to compete with third-party delivery platforms.

POS-based rewards are not used or driving sales; Google Maps shows direct order link but prominently advertises DoorDash and Uber Eats, cannibalizing direct orders.
