Dae Gee Hit Its Strongest Revenue Month After Installing Guest Capture
Dae Gee Korean BBQ in Fort Wayne, Indiana, had strong food and a loyal customer base. Adding Dishio’s digital QR menu gave the restaurant a way to capture guest data from every visit — and the results showed up in the very first month.
What changed, and what it took.
Where they started
- Visits without data — loyal guests coming in regularly, but no way to stay connected between visits
- Manual marketing — promotions sent broadly, without insight into who the regulars actually were
- Untapped guest list — every table was an opportunity to grow the audience left unused
What changed
- QR menus in-store — guests scan as part of their normal dining experience
- Automatic guest capture — 571 new contacts added in the first period, no staff effort needed
- Owned audience — a growing list of people the restaurant can reach anytime, for free
What this proves.
In 2026, guests have more dining options and shorter attention spans. If your restaurant isn’t staying in touch between visits, someone else is. A guest list you own changes that — permanently.
Most restaurant marketing still targets cold audiences. The operators pulling ahead right now are the ones using first-party data to reach people who already love their food — at a fraction of the cost.
QR menus are everywhere, but most restaurants aren’t using them to build anything. Every scan that doesn’t capture a contact is a missed opportunity. The ones who capture it own it forever.
What it added up to.
By adding Dishio’s QR menu infrastructure, Dae Gee Korean BBQ turned every table into a guest capture opportunity — and saw immediate results in revenue and engagement. January came in at $76,339 — the restaurant’s best month in over a year — with 851 menu views and 571 new guest contacts captured in just the first reporting period.
