Why restaurants struggle

What makes social hard for restaurants.

  1. 01

    Posting dies on busy weeks

    The weeks you’re slammed are exactly when your feed goes quiet, and the algorithm punishes the gap.

  2. 02

    Phone photos undersell the food

    Great dishes look average with rushed photos and no design, and average doesn’t stop a scroll.

  3. 03

    Specials never reach locals

    Events, seasonal menus, and slow-night promos flop when nobody sees them in time.

An example month

A month on your feed.

What a month of posts could look like for a restaurant like yours. We plan yours around your offers, your seasons and your goals; your plan sets how many posts you get.

Week 1

  1. MonReel

    Dish of the week, plated in slow motion

    Food Reels get saved and shared, which is how nearby diners find you.

  2. WedCarousel

    This week’s specials

    Gives regulars a reason to come back this week, not someday.

  3. FriStory

    Weekend booking reminder with a link

    Catches people deciding where to eat tonight.

Week 2

  1. MonReel

    Behind the pass: Friday service in 15 seconds

    The energy of a full room is the best ad for a table.

  2. WedCarousel

    Meet the chef: where the menu comes from

    People book places with a face and a story.

  3. FriPhoto

    Guest photo of the week (with their OK)

    Real guests make the next guest feel welcome.

Week 3

  1. MonReel

    How we make our signature dish

    Process videos hold attention and build appetite.

  2. WedCarousel

    What to drink with what: a pairing guide

    Useful posts get saved, and saved posts get seen again.

  3. FriStory

    Poll: which dish should come back?

    Two taps of engagement that keep you in their feed.

Week 4

  1. MonReel

    Our regulars’ favourite order

    Social proof in the form of food.

  2. WedPhoto

    Private dining or event announcement

    Fills the slower nights and bigger tables.

  3. FriCarousel

    Your reviews, our thanks

    Shows happy guests and thanks them in public.

The rules of restaurants.

The sensitivities that come with your industry, built into how we plan, write and post. We follow your guidance and your professional body’s rules.

Allergens and dietary claims are exact

We only call a dish vegan, gluten-free or nut-free when you confirm it, and flag shared-kitchen risks the way you want.

Alcohol is promoted responsibly

Drink posts follow the platforms’ alcohol policies and your local rules: aimed at adults, never at excess.

Guests’ photos with permission

Guest photos and tags are shared only with their OK, and credited.

Prices and specials stay current

Specials are dated and prices are real, so nobody turns up for an offer that ended.

What we measure

Numbers that mean business.

Likes are nice. These are the numbers that tell a restaurant whether social is working, reported every month.

  1. 01Reservations and order clicksTaps on your booking and ordering links, from each post.
  2. 02Directions and callsGoogle Business Profile actions: people on their way to you.
  3. 03Saves and sharesThe signal that food posts are doing their job.
  4. 04Local reachHow many people near you saw your posts this month.
  5. 05Reviews and mentionsNew reviews, tags and guests posting about you.

Questions, answered.

The questions restaurants actually ask us.

Do you photograph our food?

Most clients send photos and short clips from their phone, and our designers turn them into polished posts; we also design graphic posts for menus, specials and events. On-site filming is scoped separately.

Can you promote specials and events on short notice?

Yes. Send the details and we’ll fit them in; Stories are the best place for same-day specials.

Which platforms matter most for restaurants?

Instagram and your Google Business Profile first, then TikTok for reach and Facebook for events and local groups.

How much does restaurant social media management cost?

Social media management is quoted to your scope as part of MAD Full Growth, with defined deliverables and a reporting cadence. Media budgets and third-party costs are quoted separately. Our local SEO plans are priced separately, on the pricing page.
