Episode Notes
In this Pitch the Tide session, Stephanie Olson, Founder and CEO of restauWant, introduces a data-driven marketing intelligence platform designed to help restaurants understand what actually drives guest traffic. Built out of firsthand experience running a restaurant marketing agency, restauWant connects fragmented data across POS systems, online ordering, reservations, and ad platforms to solve the industry’s biggest challenge: knowing which marketing efforts lead to real revenue. By translating complex analytics into clear, actionable insights, the platform empowers operators to make smarter marketing decisions, optimize spend, and focus more time on delivering exceptional guest experiences.
- Know What Actually Drives Guests In – restauWant is built to solve one of the biggest gaps in restaurant marketing: understanding what actually brings people through the door. By connecting data across platforms, the system shows operators which campaigns lead to real visits and revenue, not just clicks and impressions.
- Turn Marketing Data Into Clear Decisions – Instead of digging through multiple dashboards, restauWant brings everything into one place, giving operators a simple view of where guests are coming from. This allows restaurants to confidently shift spend toward what works and eliminate wasted marketing dollars.
- Connect the Full Guest Journey – From first ad impression to repeat visit, restauWant helps stitch together the entire customer journey. By integrating with POS, loyalty, and digital channels, it gives restaurants a clearer picture of how guests discover, engage, and return, leading to smarter marketing and stronger retention.
