See how this Colorado Italian restaurant earned $76k in online ordering revenue in just 3 months
Nestled at the entrance of the Rocky Mountain National Park in Estes Park, CO, Poppy’s Pizza & Grill has delighted diners with sensational Italian food for nearly three decades. While the location brings beautiful views year-round, it also presents some unique challenges: namely operating efficiently during the busy tourist season and driving enough revenue from local patrons during the quieter months. With AI Answering and Boost, Poppy’s is able to tackle these challenges head-on—strengthening overall performance and deepening guest relationships in snow or sun.
In the midst of a nationwide labor shortage—exacerbated by the seasonal nature of labor in Estes Park—Poppy’s faced a significant challenge in staffing their front-of-house positions. This often left gaps in service, like the phone going unanswered, causing a number of missed sales opportunities. Enter Popmenu AI Answering: an automated phone service that harnesses data from Poppy’s website and Google Business Profile to answer recurring guest questions—and directs them toward revenue drivers like online ordering, reservations, or waitlisting. In three months, Popmenu AI Answering fielded 3.6k calls for the restaurant (nearly 40 calls a day!) with 43% of calls tying to revenue activity.
