    The situation before we started

    No zero base here: before us the restaurant already made Rp 166.6M a month, ads were running, the menu had been partially optimized β€” incorrectly. The first month's key find: GoJek ads were losing money β€” ROAS 0.25x; Rp 3.1M spent, Rp 763K returned, minus Rp 2.3M in one month. Nobody was tracking it. We didn't launch β€” we rebuilt: revenue x2.6 in 5 months.

    • GoJek ads losing money: ROAS 0.25x β€” every rupiah spent returned 25 cents, and nobody noticed
    • The menu had been "optimized" before us β€” no keywords, category structure ignored demand, add-ons didn't lift the check
    • Rating 4.67 β€” below the 4.8 threshold where the algorithm serves impressions more generously; GoJek down at 4.6
    • Through-conversion 1.1% β€” above fleet average but half the best result: far from its ceiling
    • Easy growth levers already spent β€” every next percent had to come from conversion, menu and traffic quality

    What we did β€” a 4-track strategy

    1

    Ads rebuild

    • Ads were already running β€” we took them under management: manual CPO instead of auto-bidding
    • GoFood campaigns rebuilt from scratch: ROAS 0.25x β†’ 15.52x β€” payback x62 on nearly the same budget
    • GrabAds: ROAS 14.02x β†’ 21.19x β€” budget doubled, ads revenue tripled
    • Blended ROAS 10.2x β†’ 20.1x; July GrabAds CTR 7.2%

    • Menu category structure rebuild
    • Reach x1.84, reach β†’ menu conversion 8.5% β†’ 10.0%
    3

    Menu & pricing fix

    • Audit of the previous "optimization", rebuilt around real Ubud demand
    • New items, combos and add-ons that lift the average check
    • Pricing and photos by our playbook
    • Result: average check +24.5% with no loss of order volume
    4

    Rating & operations

    • Daily monitoring on both platforms, a response process for every negative review
    • Team training on operational metrics, offline-rate and stock-out control
    • Fewer cancellations and delays β€” higher rating and cheaper ads
    • Rating 4.67 β†’ 4.8 while orders doubled
