Fix the small leaks. Pour the profit back in.
Most local Thai restaurants lose 10 to 15% of revenue to bottlenecks they cannot see, missed phone calls, food waste, over and understaffed shifts, and a website that does not convert. This suite shows what Thai Ute could look like with all of it handled in one place.

Forecast for Friday is 18 covers above last week. Suggesting Anan starts at 5:30pm instead of 6:30pm. Approve to lock in.
Heads up
Pim has hit 38 hours by Saturday. One more shift would trigger overtime, suggest swapping Sun with Anan.

Bottleneck #6, the website is doing 60% of the work it could
Quick wins for thaiute.com
A short, prioritised list. Most of these are an afternoon's work each, none require a full rebuild.
High impact
Kill the PDF menu
The current menu links open PDFs. Mobile users bounce, Google cannot read them, and you cannot update prices easily. Replace with a fast HTML menu that uses the same bronze and black branding.
Effort, half day

"Book a table" button in the header
Right now there is no obvious booking CTA above the fold. Add a bronze "Book a Table" button sticky in the top right on every page.
Effort, 1 hour

Hero photography of signature dishes
Replace the static hero with rotating photos of Jungle Pork Belly, Pad Thai and the dining room. Food photos on the hero increase conversion 25 to 40%.

The honest question
Did this make you feel we understand hospitality?
If yes, the next step is a 30 minute call with Jonathan from HEUS.PRO. We will look at Thai Ute's actual bottlenecks together, what we would automate first, and what it costs. No deck, no pitch, just a working conversation, you walk away with a plan whether or not you sign up.
The real cost of doing it by hand
