How diners choose where to eat
Maps first
Your Google profile needs fresh, good photos of the food and the place, the full menu, correct timings and a quick reply to every review. These affect who gets chosen more than almost anything else you do online.
Short reels of dishes being made, a weekend special, a new menu item. We plan a calendar and post consistently, because a restaurant that posts twice and then goes quiet looks closed.
Local ads
A small Meta Ads budget aimed at people within a few kilometres works well for lunch offers, weekend specials and new openings. Google Ads can capture people searching "restaurant near me".
Delivery apps and your own channel
Swiggy and Zomato bring orders, and they take a commission. We help you collect direct orders over WhatsApp and phone too, so you keep more of each sale.
Reviews
Ask at the table or on the bill, with a QR code. Reply to complaints calmly and specifically.
Questions we hear a lot
How much should a café spend on ads?
A modest daily budget aimed at a small radius is a good test. We suggest a figure after looking at your area.
