The Gourmet District in Québec City brings six restaurants together under one roof, combining a one-of-a-kind food hall with full-service dining. To support the unique concept, they needed a multi-restaurant reservation software system to handle bookings, while still delivering a seamless and memorable guest experience.

Ultimately, The Gourmet District chose Libro’s multi-restaurant reservation software, gaining the ability to unlock powerful guest data from across the food hall to build loyal customer relationships and drive frequent visits.

Through the Libro platform, The Gourmet District regularly performs cross-marketing promotions and sends personalized email campaigns directly to their growing database of customers. Segmentation tools and smart filters in the platform allow the team to deliver highly targeted and fully branded email campaigns quickly and without toggling between various applications and lists.

Libro gives us a direct line to our customers. Executing marketing campaigns through the Libro platform is streamlined and very efficient, without adding extra work for the team. The Libro platform not only helps us fill seats but also encourages guests to explore other restaurants in the food hall.

“Libro gives us a direct line to our customers,” says Quentin Minier, Operations Director at The Gourmet District. “Executing marketing campaigns through the Libro platform is streamlined and very efficient, without adding extra work for the team.”

Libro’s scalable platform is flexible to support multi-restaurant reservations for two separate dine-in experiences offered at The Gourmet District. Guests can choose to sit in the central courtyard and order from multiple restaurants, or they can book a more traditional experience and enjoy one specific restaurant. If one restaurant or type of dining experience is unavailable, Libro’s multi-restaurant reservation software suggests another option within The Gourmet District—so the reservation and the revenue stay in-house.

“The Libro platform not only helps us fill seats but also encourages guests to explore other restaurants in the food hall,” notes Minier.

Automated post-visit guest surveys provide valuable insights and help gather reviews to strengthen the food hall’s reputation—without taking too much time and manual effort.
