Case Studies

Client-Yauatcha’s Food Experience:

Yauatcha is a Bangalore-based fine dining chain that serves Cantonese food. Explara worked with them to create a ‘Food Experience’ - Dim sum Trail, Weekend Brunch, Unlimited Drinks

Business Challenges:

Yauatcha is a well-known Michelin starred restaurant chain. People know about them but being a fine dining chain, they had some difficulty filling their tables on a daily basis. Creating a Food Experience attracted many first-time guests to try out Yauatcha’s cuisine and also helped draw others who had tried Yauatcha before. Explara’s multiple Event promotion tools helped Yauatcha create the much-needed buzz about them on Social Media that has ensured a full house.
