The Restaurant Speed Differentiator

Help your Restaurant to Stand Out by Using Speed

One of the most important things every business should have is a differentiator. Every successful business has at least one of them. As you probably know, a differentiator is something that sets you apart from the competition. It’s one thing they don’t have. One thing that’s attractive to your customers and diners.


It's a reason why they would choose to come and eat at your restaurant rather than one of your competitors.

It still surprises me that business owners don’t dedicate enough time to being different because it can help you to significantly increase sales (and profits) and so should play a big part in all your marketing tactics and strategies.

Yes, admittedly, finding that "gem" of a differentiator can sometimes be challenging but, the fact is, if you have a strong differentiator you are many times more likely to be more successful and, more importantly, you give yourself the ability to make more money (by the way, if you register for our FREE ‘SELL MORE STUFF Challenge’ you’ll get free easy -to-follow templates on how to create a powerful differentiator)!

Using "Speed" as a Differentiator

So, what I want to do today is tell you about using "speed" as a differentiator. First, let me quickly summarise why having an effective differentiator is very, very important—I would go as far as to say "compulsory" - especially if you’re looking to grow and increase your sales…

  • If your customers don’t have a reason to choose you above your competition, price becomes the significant determining factor 
  • Without a differentiator your meals could be seen as a commodity—the result is to drive down the price and significantly reduce margins.
  • You can’t create price elasticity without a differentiator. You want to be able to charge HIGHER prices and it’s challenging without one.
  • Attracting diners is made much easier with a differentiator. It elevates your offering from “me too” comparisons.

There are more, but these are enough to explain why it’s important to have a differentiator.

And if you’re struggling to find one, SPEED is something any business can use as a differentiator.

Our lives are moving at a greater pace every day. We all have less time. We want things yesterday, not tomorrow. And we’ll pay more to get them faster.


Here is restaurants a great example of a restaurant using speed very effectively to entice people to dine with them. This works especially well during lunchtime, when most people have less than an hour to eat...

Many very successful businesses have been founded on the principle of speed… give the customer quick delivery, quick service, quick results and they’ll love you for it. FedEx, Domino's, Amazon (note what they’ve done with Prime and how speed plays a part in their success), and so on, are outstanding examples. 

Sure, you may have to alter your systems and processes. You may have the odd hiccup too, but if you can do it faster and quicker and deliver the same standard of product or service, then SPEED can be your biggest asset!

Video Marketing for Restaurants - Using Video to Promote Your Restaurant

People love watching videos and sharing videos online so adding restaurant video marketing to your marketing mix can be a very worthwhile exercise.

Here are some strategies that can help you with video marketing for your restaurant...


Firstly... Keep your videos short!

You don't need to create a 2 hour film epic. In fact, people's attention span for videos is very short and differs from platform to platform, so here are the maximum recommended video lengths for the major social media platforms:

Facebook: 1 Minute
Instagram: 30 seconds
Twitter: 45 seconds
Youtube: 2 minutes

Video Marketing for Restaurants | Restaurant Video Marketing

I'm always a fan of creating content and using it in several places, so my suggestion would be that you try to keep all of your videos under 1 minute in length and then upload them to all of the above sites.

So the great thing is, with just needing 1 minute of content, you can make a video quite quickly and get it online and working for you. And if you find you've got too much to say for just 1 minute, then simply create two (or more) different videos and upload both of them.

So, what could you include in your videos?

Here's a few ideas...


1. Testimonials from your happy customers.
People love to see social proof and so you could ask some of your regular diners if they'd be happy to say a few words to camera about what they think of your restaurant, your staff and / or your food.
Just one customer's comments will be enough for a short video and so you could create quite a few videos like this.

2. Show your restaurant and your kitchen.
A quick video tour of the restaurant or a tour of the kitchen (particularly if you can show the chefs creating their delights) make for ideal video content.
 

3. Staff interviews
a. Your chef. Let your customers get to know your chef by filming a short chat with him or her. You could ask them questions about where they first learned to cook, their favourite dish etc.
b. The owners / managers / waiters and waitresses. Again, let your diners get to know more about your team by having a chat with them on camera.

4. Your food.
Making short videos of some of the amazing meals you serve is one of the best ways of video marketing for a restaurant. The more you can tempt the viewer with the dishes on offer, and particularly if you can make their mouths water while they're watching, the more they are likely to be walking through your door to try the food for themselves.

The quickest way to create professional videos
for your restaurant


In the following video, I show you the very easiest and quickest way to create professional videos for your restaurant, even if you don't have any video equipment whatsoever.

I'll show you how to use some very clever software to create...

  • General promo videos for your restaurant.
  • Videos that showcase your best reviews.
  • Videos to promote any events you're running (such as music nights, theme evenings etc).
  • Videos to spotlight menu items and specials.
  • Videos to attract people to your restaurant for calendar events such as Easter, Valentine's Day etc.


Here's the video for you. It's around 20 minutes long but I guarantee that you'll find it well worth your time....

Video marketing for restaurants is a worthy weapon to have in your marketing arsenal. And with the quality of video that can be produced with little more than an iPhone, or with the software that I demonstrated in the video, it is a method of promotion that every restaurant owner should consider.

Restaurant Marketing Tip:
Are you stuck in the past with your marketing?

Are you like the many restaurants that still depend on traditional restaurant marketing options including placing adverts in the local newspaper and pushing flyers (or menus) through local letterboxes?

Both of these methods are not only quite costly, but they are also one-hit-wonders!

In other words,  an ad that is in the paper one night, is in the bin the next day. So you constantly need new ads to keep attracting new diners or they just don't appear. 

Here's a short video that discusses some of the more modern, effective restaurant marketing methods that are now easily available to you...
