How to Track Pages Per Session for Coffee Shops

Why Pages Per Session Matters for Coffee Shops
It captures the research crowd. Many customers research before visiting. They compare menus, check prices, and verify amenities like WiFi or parking. More pages means they choose you.

It reveals amenity interest. High pages per session on your WiFi page tells you this matters to customers. Low interest in certain areas means you can deprioritize.
