Savor Food Tours

- Seven Apps, One Source of Truth

A key employee left, and the owner asked a better question than "who do we hire?" Seven apps, eighty-seven tables, and one person holding them together by hand. We changed that.

The Challenge

Every system worked. The person in the middle was the only thing joining them.

One person at the center of eight two-way connections to tools and clients

A cornerstone employee who wore five different hats left a void that was difficult to fill. The obvious next move was to post the job. The owner, asked a better question first: do we actually need to replace her? She suspected, correctly, that much of the role wasn't judgment or expertise. It was a person acting as the connective tissue between a constellation of apps and services that didn't talk to each other.

This was a team already ahead of most on AI, and they'd hit the ceiling everyone hits. The AI could draft a customer support email in their voice, but it needed a human to answer basic seat availability or policy questions. It could sum the gross ticket sales if they dropped in an export file, but it couldn't compute profit because it didn't have fixed-cost or commission data from Quickbooks. The company's facts lived in seven apps, eighty-seven tables, and dozens of spreadsheets. A single customer could exist in half a dozen different places. Simple questions, like how many guests ever booked twice, had gone unanswered for three years. The tools were fine. There was nothing true for them to read.

What We Built

One place where every fact lives together, connected to AI the whole team can question.

One Source of Truth

Ten databases unified into a single warehouse, cleaned up and connected. Customers who existed in seven places under seven spellings are now one customer, with one history.

Updates Itself

Twice-daily refreshes, and new bookings land within seconds. Nobody on the team logs into it, manages it, or maintains it. No new app to learn, no new seat to buy.

Ask in Plain English

Connected to Claude. "Who's on tomorrow's 10am tour?" returns the roster with dietary flags attached. From where the owner sits, that's the entire product.

Finds What You Already Own

Three years of bookings became one revenue curve. Signed waivers became eight thousand guest records with mailing addresses: a remarketing asset they'd paid for and never used.

Useful for Internal Team Members Too

Questions that used to mean exports, a spreadsheet, and a Thursday afternoon. Open one to see what comes back.

Are the World Cup games responsible for the dip in ticket sales?

A chart showing Savor's sales with the World Cup games highlighted against industry trend data for the same period

Two stacked line charts covering June 1 to mid-August 2026 — tickets sold per day and daily revenue excluding tax — plotting Savor public tours against industry trend data, with a vertical marker on each World Cup match at Lumen Field. Savor’s line rises and falls in step with the industry across the match dates.
Did sales go down when we raised prices last month? If so, did net profit actually increase?

Passengers down twenty percent, revenue up ten. An actual answer in ten minutes, instead of a question nobody could afford to ask.

Table comparing Q3 to date in 2025 against 2026: public passengers down 540 (−20%), departures down 24 (−10%), average passengers per tour down 1.25 (−11%), and revenue to Savor up $18,375 (+10%). Headline reads “Pax is down, revenue is up.”
Based on our past ticket prices, adjusted for seasonality, what is the optimal ticket price?

Three findings, two interactive models, one disproven idea, and the decision list for each season.

Four seasonal charts modelling average revenue per 10am departure against a Viator ticket price from $70 to $200, each with a best-estimate curve, 68% and 95% confidence bands, and markers for today’s $112 price and the modelled optimum: $128 in summer, $124 in fall and spring, $134 in winter.
How many guests have booked more than once?

A table, with totals and percentages in seconds.

A within-year repeat-rate table showing the share of guests who took two or more tours in the same year: 1.78% in 2024, 1.42% in 2025, and 1.08% in 2026 year to date, against an all-time repeat rate of 2.1%. Guest counts are redacted.

What Changed

They hired a salesperson instead of reposting a five-jobs-in-one role. The ops-and-admin half of the old job stopped requiring a human

Conversions rates went from 13% to 33%, and for the first time they're making decisions based on data instead of gut instinct

Institutional knowledge no longer walks out the door when a person does

Twenty-six more AI opportunities on their roadmap now have a foundation to stand on
