The Real Cost of Missed Calls for Restaurants
A restaurant receiving 200 calls per month misses approximately 90 calls at the industry average of 45%. With a 30% lead conversion rate and $80 per guest, that is $2,160/month in lost revenue — or $25,920/year. At 800 calls per month, the loss climbs to $8,640/month ($103,680/year). Sockly costs $997/month regardless of volume. The ROI at 200 calls is 1x. At 800 calls, it is 6x.
