How Hurricanes Bar Built a 29,474+ Customer Database — and Generated ~$6,000 From One Promotion
The Challenge
Hurricanes Bar had customers walking through its doors every day—but no easy way to capture who they were or bring them back.
Like many restaurants and bars, they were creating great in-person experiences without building a direct way to reconnect with those guests afterward.
The Solution
Hurricanes Bar added BuzzyBooth inside the restaurant.
Guests use the booth to capture and share their experience. In the process, Hurricanes Bar builds its own customer database and can generate more reviews without adding another major task for the staff.
The team simply keeps the device turned on.
Once it's on, the system works in the background with minimal staff involvement.
The Results
After 6 years with BuzzyBooth, Hurricanes Bar has generated:
But the biggest opportunity came from what Hurricanes Bar could do with the customer list it had built.
3,000 Contacts → 160 Reservations → ~$6,000 in Revenue
Hurricanes Bar sent a reservation promotion to approximately 3,000 customers from its BuzzyBooth database.
That campaign generated:
From one promotion to customers they already had.
And unlike paid advertising, that customer list didn't disappear when the campaign ended.
Hurricanes Bar can continue reaching those customers for future promotions, events, and slower nights.
“We had 160 parties booked out of that blast so 3x what I thought would happen!”
The Bigger Picture
Hurricanes Bar turned everyday bar traffic into an owned audience they could market to again and again.
At the same time, BuzzyBooth helped them generate more than 1,000 five-star reviews and improve their Google rating from approximately 3.9 to 4.3.
All with minimal staff involvement.
