Phone calls are revenue events. Most operators never measure them.

Every call that comes into a restaurant is a potential reservation, catering order, or repeat customer, but almost no POS or reservation system tracks what happens after the phone rings. The argument here is that revenue per call, meaning total phone-driven revenue divided by inbound call volume, should sit alongside covers and average check as a standard operating metric. For an indie operator, this matters because an unanswered or mishandled call is a silent loss that never shows up on any report. The leak is invisible, which makes it easy to ignore and expensive to keep ignoring.
