The Toasting Question

The landscapeOf every guest review, how many raise toasting?

We read guest reviews across your operating locations and sorted them into three groups: those who wish you toasted, those who mention it but are happy anyway, and those who never bring it up.

Does it actually cost you?Half who want toasting still love you

The guests who wished for toasting split almost evenly — the topic comes up, but it is not uniformly a dealbreaker.

Is it getting louder?A steady drumbeat, not a spike

Recent volume, and the monthly rate per 1,000 reviews (normalized, since your review count keeps growing). The signal has been persistent for 18 months — it isn't fading, and it isn't a new crisis.

Where it's loudestA new-market story, not a home-market one

Toasting requests by state (rate per 1,000 reviews). Your home base, Florida — the largest and most established footprint — has the lowest rate. Newer expansion markets run 2–3× higher.
