A rebuilt brand, and 3,034 more guests than last year.

Extra guests since the work went live, added up week by week

+3,034 guests on the same weeks of 2025.

Every guest seated, terrace included, each week against the same week of 2025, added up from 2 March. The early dip is Mother’s Day and Easter falling in different weeks in each year.

  • The constraint

    Guests were slipping.

    Mama Yo ran 5.5% behind 2025 in the nine weeks before the work went live.

  • What we changed

    A brand, then a mass audience.

    A brand book, a new site and new menus. Then Meta ads, creators and email, led by a new set menu.

  • The outcome

    More people came in.

    1,157 more bookings seated than the same weeks of 2025, from March to October.
