Once they learned how to chew, they could handle any food you gave them. Next, you refined their learning by teaching them that they should only chew on food.

"Would be great to order the answer by Pirate Metrics and prioritize recommendations by the leakiest part of the funnel:
Awareness - Advertising the existence of the restaurant in the local community.
Acquisition - Getting tables booked. Can you book online? Do we have a phone number?
Activation - Food orders. What's the average size of an order? Can we change the menu a bit? Payment options.
Retention - Maybe we can create a loyalty club for patrons?
Referral - Maybe we can give coupon"
