Revitalizing Reservations: How Salvaje World Achieved an 8.86x ROAS with Digital Ads

Salvaje World is a high-end international restaurant chain renowned for its fusion cuisine combining Japanese and Nikkei influences. The chain provides a unique dining experience with live entertainment and operates in cities such as Miami, Bogotá, Mexico City, and Dubai. Despite its strong reputation, Salvaje faced declining reservations and sought to enhance its digital presence and streamline its booking processes​.

Pain Points
