Restaurants Marketing FAQs
How do you help restaurants compete with delivery platforms like DoorDash?
We build direct-to-consumer ordering campaigns that drive customers to your own online ordering platform, reducing 20-30% commission fees. We use Google Ads, social media, and email marketing to promote direct ordering with incentives, while still maintaining presence on delivery platforms for discovery.
What makes restaurant marketing different from other local businesses?
Restaurants have unique challenges: razor-thin margins requiring ultra-efficient acquisition, high competition in local markets, visual/social media importance, delivery platform dynamics, and need for repeat visits to achieve profitability. We specialize in cost-effective strategies that drive both new and repeat customers.
Can you track in-store visits from digital marketing campaigns?
Yes, we implement store visit conversion tracking through Google Ads, location-based attribution, and unique promo codes. While tracking isn't perfect, we can measure directional impact and optimize toward online orders (fully trackable) and estimated foot traffic increases.
Do you handle social media content creation for restaurants?
We can coordinate social media strategy and campaign management, working with your existing content or connecting you with food photographers and videographers. Compelling visual content is critical for restaurant success on Instagram and Facebook.
What budget do restaurants need for digital marketing?
Minimum $3K/month for single-location restaurants in competitive markets. Multi-location restaurants typically invest $8K-$20K+ monthly. Budget depends on market size, competition, and whether you're focused on dine-in, takeout, or delivery growth.
How quickly can we see results from restaurant marketing?
Social media engagement and online orders can increase within 1-2 weeks. Foot traffic and revenue impact takes 30-60 days as campaigns scale and optimize. Restaurants benefit from consistent long-term marketing, as customer lifetime value comes from repeat visits over months.
