Active partners drive 4x the volume

The Context

Where should we grow?

Savyu's revenue model is based on the number of customers (pax) that come through each restaurant — not the number of bookings. A restaurant with many small reservations is worth less than one driving large parties.

With a growing network of partner restaurants, the question was: which cuisine types, which locations, and which partners are actually driving growth?

254

Bookings / week

876

Guests / week

3.4

Avg. party size

Sample week: Jan 12–18

Finding 1

The product works — when partners use it.

The first discovery was a massive gap between all outlets and active outlets (those with at least 1 booking). The data showed that activation is the key lever.

Network Gap: All vs Active Outlets
Metric All Outlets Active Outlets Boost
Median bookings / week ~1 ~2 2x
Avg bookings / week ~2 ~4 ~2x
Median pax / week ~2 ~8 4x
Avg pax / week ~7 ~13 ~2x

Insight: Active partners drive 4x the median pax volume. The product works — the challenge is activation, not the product itself.

Finding 2

Cuisine type predicts performance.

Not all food categories perform equally. I ranked every cuisine by daily pax per active outlet — the metric that directly ties to Savyu's revenue.

Top Performing Categories

Thai

Japanese

Omakase

Sushi & Sashimi
Moderate
Hoi An Style

Finding 3

Location drives efficiency.

Not just total volume — I looked at pax per outlet to find where each partner restaurant delivers the most value.

HCMC District 3

~28

pax / outlet

Fewer outlets, high density

Da Nang

~11

pax / outlet

Growing market, strong potential

HCMC District 1

~10

pax / outlet

Largest network, most volume

Insight: Some districts showed significantly higher efficiency per outlet despite having fewer partners. Expanding in high-efficiency areas offers better ROI than adding more partners in saturated locations.

Recommendations

Target strategy

Priority Locations

  • HCMC District 3
  • HCMC District 1
  • Da Nang
  • Also exploring: Thao Dien, Hanoi

Priority Cuisines

  • Thai
  • Japanese
  • Omakase
  • Sushi & Sashimi

Key takeaway: In a per-customer revenue model, optimizing for booking volume is misleading. The real metric is pax per outlet — and that's driven by cuisine category and location, not just total reservation count.
