Why guest lifetime value matters

Do you know who your most valuable guests are? And no, we’re not referring to loyalty members. Top restaurants know their guest lifetime value (GLV)—or how much revenue each guest generates throughout their relationship with the brand—and use that intel to drive profitable acquisition, retention, and growth. Why? Because a small portion of guests can immensely impact your bottom line.
