92% Weekend occupancy

The challenge

What we walked into.

Firehouse had a loyal regular base but was invisible to the next generation of guests. There was no website, reservations ran through DMs, and weekends swung between packed and quiet with no way to predict either.

The approach

How we ran it.

Three coordinated workstreams, one senior team — sequenced so the first win was visible before week six.

01

Workstream 1

Brand refresh

Sharpened the visual identity without losing the soul of the room — a system the staff could actually maintain across menus, social and signage.

02

Workstream 2

Reservations site

Built a reservation-first site with table holds, deposit capture for large parties and integrated event RSVPs.

03

Workstream 3

Social engine

A weekly content cadence built around the regulars, the events and the food — with paid amplification on Thursday/Friday only.

Measurable results

The numbers that moved.

No vanity metrics. Every figure below is tied to revenue, pipeline, or operational throughput — measured against pre-engagement baselines.

The compounding effect

What it unlocked.

The work didn't end at handoff — it became the operating system the team runs every day.

Firehouse now uses the same playbook to launch monthly themed nights — typically sold out within 72 hours of being posted.
