Thanks for your feedback! This sounds precisely like what we're encountering right now: restaurants are uncertain why people would want to see their site on a phone and how it increases their bottom line. We'd like to educate them and show them that customer discovery = ROI, but we're not sure how to evaluate that in our context. Some people here have suggested success stories, which we think is fantastic.

It should be possible to log when a customer calls through the (app-provided) phone number to the restaurant.

You could also offer to store a contact for the restaurant.

Google voice is free, each restaurant could use a call to GV as a way to track leads generated by your app.

Ah that's brilliant! Love it. We could definitely track calls and maybe directions as well.
