How Cedar Cove Café Cut Order No-Shows by 28% with Ferbz — a tailored approach to appointment management
Cedar Cove Café used Ferbz to automate appointment confirmations and follow‑ups for its festive Ganesh Chaturthi bookings, reducing missed reservations.
01 — THE CHALLENGE
Before Ferbz, Cedar Cove Café struggled with last‑minute cancellations during the high‑traffic Ganesh Chaturthi weekend, leading to empty tables and lost revenue.
Manual confirmations
Staff had to call each reservation, which was time‑consuming and error‑prone.
No‑show tracking
There was no systematic way to record missed appointments or follow up with customers.
Limited repeat business insight
The owner could not see how messaging affected repeat visits or revenue.
02 — THE SOLUTION
Ferbz introduced a set of WhatsApp‑based tools that automated confirmations, reminders, and post‑visit follow‑ups while feeding data back into the CRM.
Appointments
Bookings generate automatic WhatsApp confirmations with calendar links.
Automation
A plain‑English goal (“remind guests 24 hours before their table”) produced a multi‑step WhatsApp reminder journey.
Broadcasts
A one‑off festive broadcast invited customers to special Ganesh Chaturthi menus, with delivery and read stats.
Retention analytics
The dashboard showed repeat‑visit rates and messaging effectiveness across the holiday period.
The automated reminder flow alone cut no‑shows by more than a quarter.
03 — THE RESULTS
