Triple-D-featured Southern/Jewish brunch spot
A homepage that misspells "Phialdelphia." Twice.
What we found
The word "Philadelphia" is misspelled "Phialdelphia" in two places on the homepage of a Triple-D-featured brunch restaurant with a line out the door on weekends. WordPress site, no food photography on a brunch concept that lives or dies by plating, menu hosted as a 4MB PDF, no reservations widget despite massive demand, online ordering goes only to GrubHub (handing over 20–30% in fees on every order they could be capturing direct). Owner email is on a generic gmail.
What it’s costing them
The typo alone is a measurable Google ranking penalty — search engines treat "Phialdelphia" as a different word than the city the restaurant is in. Estimated 5–15% of organic search traffic missed. The PDF menu drops mobile users (which is most of brunch search) and is invisible to Google’s structured-data crawlers. The GrubHub-only online ordering loses the restaurant 20–30% of every delivery dollar that could route through Toast or ChowNow at half the fee. Total cost: probably $50K–$100K per year of margin sitting on the table.
What we’d do
Tune-Up to start ($3,500 range): fix the typo (literally a 2-minute change that’s worth thousands), HTML menu, mobile fix, schema markup, branded email off gmail. Then a follow-up Tier 03 conversation about replacing GrubHub-only with Toast + retargeting ads. Pitch line: "You’re on Triple-D, the line is around the block, and your homepage spells Philadelphia wrong. Half a day of work."
