In this video we look at how some restaurants actually make it difficult to call them and how you can ensure you make it easy for your customers.

Here's another short video with a restaurant marketing idea.  And this one is...  

Make It Really Easy to Call You to Book or Place an Order

Take a look at your website, Facebook page and any other online presence, put yourself in the shoes of a first time visitor, and see how easy it would be for them to call you.

Is your phone number right there up front and in their face, or is it hidden somewhere at the bottom of a page that they need to search for?

And if you look at your website on a mobile phone, firstly does the website resize properly so that it can easily be read on a phone, and then is your phone number clickable to call you? I've seen a number of restaurant websites where their phone number is in an image and so to call them I'd actually need to memorise the number and then manually dial it!

It needs to be as easy as possible to call you so please make sure that a/ your phone number is VERY easy to find and b/ on your mobile site, just clicking the phone number will call you.

Partner Up with Local Businesses

This is an excellent opportunity to get involved with the local community and build valuable peer relationships at the same time.

Purchase ingredients from local vendors, or buy paintings or book live music from a local artist.

Post about it on social media, and tag the other businesses. In many cases, they’ll share the post or reciprocate, putting you in front of a local and enthusiastic audience.

This video shows how and why you should feature your dishes on your Facebook page and other social media...

Feature Your Dishes on Social Media

Your biggest selling point is your food, and pictures that are drool-worthy are going to be your most effective marketing tactic.

Feature all your menu items at some point on social media, preferably with high quality pictures of dishes and some brief information on how it’s made.

Feature as many different types of dishes as possible. Even if a salad seems relatively tame compared to everything else on your menu, it shows your restaurant has more diverse options, appealing to more people and increasing the likelihood of people coming in. Everyone loves more options, after all.

A regular photo of a delicious dish is a great way to tempt diners back again and again.
