How Ember Brew Café Boosted Festive Booking Revenue by 34% with Ferbz — a specific, benefit-led headline
Ember Brew Café used Ferbz to automate WhatsApp follow‑ups and capture repeat orders during Ganesh Chaturthi, turning a seasonal surge into lasting revenue.
01 — THE CHALLENGE
Ember Brew Café, a neighborhood café that also hosts small cultural events, struggled to convert the spike in foot traffic during Ganesh Chaturthi into repeat orders and suffered from missed appointment confirmations.
Manual confirmations
Staff had to call or text each reservation, leading to delays and a 22% no‑show rate for celebration bookings.
Fragmented customer data
Customer histories were scattered across paper logs and a basic POS, making targeted follow‑ups impossible.
No post‑event nurture
After the festival, there was no systematic way to thank guests or invite them back, so repeat visits remained low.
02 — THE SOLUTION
Ferbz unified Ember Brew’s order processing, CRM, appointment calendar, and WhatsApp automation into a single workflow, letting the owner set up a festive messaging journey in plain English.
Appointments
Bookings for Ganesh Chaturthi events auto‑generated WhatsApp confirmations with calendar links.
Automation
The owner described a “thank‑you and 10% off next visit” goal, and Ferbz built a multi‑step WhatsApp follow‑up journey.
Broadcasts
A one‑off broadcast sent a festive menu preview to all Customers, tracking delivery and read rates.
Retention analytics
Ferbz reported revenue lift, repeat‑visit rate, and messaging effectiveness for the period.
The integrated workflow turned a one‑time festival rush into a measurable boost in repeat sales.
