Read through our guide or <a href=\"#jump\">jump to the infographic<\/a> for data-driven tips to market your restaurant in the best way possible.<\/p>\n<h2>1. Make Online Orders Easy<\/h2>\n<p>Among the <a href=\"https:\/\/pos.toasttab.com\/blog\/2019-restaurant-industry-trends\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">top features<\/a> guests look for when choosing a restaurant are convenience and the ability to order online via a mobile-responsive website.<\/p>\n<p>Online ordering should be effortless. Domino\u2019s has mastered the process. It streamlines ordering through every channel. You can place an order by phone, the website or through its app.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"img-responsive aligncenter wp-image-16699 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.valpak.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/online-orders.png\" alt=\"dominos\" width=\"1600\" height=\"794\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.valpak.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/online-orders.png 1600w, https:\/\/www.valpak.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/online-orders-300x149.png 300w, https:\/\/www.valpak.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/online-orders-768x381.png 768w, https:\/\/www.valpak.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/online-orders-1024x508.png 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1600px) 100vw, 1600px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Online ordering systems like MenuDrive, Toast, ChowNow and Upserve are helpful for creating a streamlined and branded ordering experience. Monthly fees range from $90-$140. Your online ordering system should also sync with your POS system.<\/p>\n<p>There is also a shift towards in-person technology options. Diners agree servers with handheld tablets improve the guest experience. With pay-at-the-table and <a href=\"https:\/\/pos.toasttab.com\/resources\/future-of-restaurant-industry?mkt_tok=eyJpIjoiWlRkbVpqUTNPVEprTVRFNCIsInQiOiJcL1VoMlNMY2l2bFlhNlhodkdSQXRacXBwRkR0YitsUjV2R3RXQkJDeWp5VWFCd1NCRVV5cDhEQmpvQkxnVTRJdThqRE53RVwvZ0c2QlwvQ1FzUmtVcEpTU3hwUXcra0dNT3F6TlVteHdNNmk1N1BWSTBYN3lxWXRXRU1NakdMcjBCWSJ9\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">order ahead<\/a> options, guests don\u2019t have to wait as long. There has also been a recent boom with online delivery services like Uber Eats, DoorDash, GrubHub and more. Many restaurants have implemented their own delivery services so if you&#8217;re still relying on in-person dining and your ticket sales have dipped, try something new! Keep customers happy by rolling out online and in-store tech improvements.<\/p>\n<h2>2. Pay Attention to Online Reviews<\/h2>\n<p>Online reviews are a powerful tool in the restaurant industry. According to a <a href=\"https:\/\/are.berkeley.edu\/~jmagruder\/Anderson%20and%20Magruder.pdf\">U.C. Berkeley study<\/a>, <span id=\"hs_cos_wrapper_post_body\" class=\"hs_cos_wrapper hs_cos_wrapper_meta_field hs_cos_wrapper_type_rich_text\" data-hs-cos-general-type=\"meta_field\" data-hs-cos-type=\"rich_text\">higher Yelp scores help restaurants sell tables 19% more frequently during peak times. Restaurants impacted the most by online reviews are those that are not accredited by experts &#8211; in other words, small family-owned eateries without the fanfare from local TV or newspaper reviews. These restaurants sell out 27% more often if they earn an extra star on Yelp. <\/span>In a nutshell? Spending a little time optimizing your Yelp or Tripadvisor account is worth the effort. Positive Yelp reviews can work wonders for your restaurant.<\/p>\n<p>Claim your restaurant and build out your Yelp or Tripadvisor profile to include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>High-quality photos of your food<\/li>\n<li>Hours and location<\/li>\n<li>Menus<\/li>\n<li>Price range<\/li>\n<li>Wi-Fi<\/li>\n<li>Outdoor seating<\/li>\n<li>Parking details<\/li>\n<li>Services provided (curbside pick up, delivery, etc.)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>3. Target Customers in Your Area<\/h2>\n<p>Your restaurant&#8217;s location impacts your potential customer base, as well as your theme, menu and decor. Most customers come from within a 5-mile radius but on average, consumers say they will drive 17 minutes to visit a restaurant. Cost is also a factor. 38% of diners will travel over 10 miles if they know they will get a discount.<\/p>\n<p>Your goal should be to rank among your local competitors or within the top 3 spots that show up when users search for a specific keyword like \u201cbest tacos.\u201d The 3 taco shops listed below will receive the most traffic simply because they are the top results users see for that area.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"img-responsive aligncenter wp-image-16705 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.valpak.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/best-tacos.png\" alt=\"best tacos google search\" width=\"1601\" height=\"904\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.valpak.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/best-tacos.png 1601w, https:\/\/www.valpak.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/best-tacos-300x169.png 300w, https:\/\/www.valpak.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/best-tacos-768x434.png 768w, https:\/\/www.valpak.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/best-tacos-1024x578.png 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1601px) 100vw, 1601px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Tips to rank in those top three spots:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Build positive reviews on Yelp, Tripadvisor, Google, Facebook and other sites and frequently <a href=\"https:\/\/www.valpak.com\/advertise\/blog\/positive-online-reviews\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">respond to your reviews<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.valpak.com\/advertise\/resources\/claim-my-business\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Claim your business<\/a> listing and ensure your restaurant information is consistent on Google My Business, Yelp, Tripadvisor and other review sites.<\/li>\n<li>Update your website frequently with menus or promotions.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>4. Shift Toward Healthier Menu Options (and Promote Them)<\/h2>\n<p>According to Consumer Trends, people reward restaurants that demonstrate a commitment to quality ingredients. In fact, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.restaurant.org\/News-Research\/Research\/soi\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">70% of diners<\/a> say they\u2019re more likely to choose a restaurant that offers healthy menu options.<\/p>\n<p>Consumers will even pay more for healthier or organic food options &#8211; especially the younger generations. <a href=\"https:\/\/today.yougov.com\/topics\/food\/articles-reports\/2019\/09\/09\/millennials-food-choices-are-driven-quality\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">68% of millennials<\/a> say they\u2019re willing to spend more money on high-quality food.<\/p>\n<p>Even if your restaurant menu isn\u2019t known as \u201chealthy,\u201d consider using feature-benefit selling to help promote your items. Highlight specific features of your dishes and how they\u2019re beneficial for your customers.<\/p>\n<p>For example, if you offer plant-based milk, promote your almond milk latte for breakfast-goers who may be lactose-intolerant. Or, if you partner with a local farm for fresh seasonal veggies, promote local, seasonal and organic options both on your menus and in your social media posts.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"img-responsive aligncenter wp-image-16698 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.valpak.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/menu-options.png\" alt=\"cafe gratitude\" width=\"1600\" height=\"733\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.valpak.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/menu-options.png 1600w, https:\/\/www.valpak.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/menu-options-300x137.png 300w, https:\/\/www.valpak.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/menu-options-768x352.png 768w, https:\/\/www.valpak.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/menu-options-1024x469.png 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1600px) 100vw, 1600px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Consider working in menu items that appeal to those who are vegetarian or vegan, allergy-sensitive or prefer to eat organic, local and seasonal foods.

Be on Instagram.

Make choices that reflect the character of your brand and how it\u2019s special.<\/p>\n<p>Beyond just decor, think about function. Get guests out of their comfort zones with communal seating. Or, set up a game area complete with shuffleboard or cornhole.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"img-responsive aligncenter wp-image-16695 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.valpak.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/dining-experience.png\" alt=\"nolita hall shuffle board instagram photo\" width=\"1601\" height=\"723\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.valpak.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/dining-experience.png 1601w, https:\/\/www.valpak.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/dining-experience-300x135.png 300w, https:\/\/www.valpak.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/dining-experience-768x347.png 768w, https:\/\/www.valpak.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/dining-experience-1024x462.png 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1601px) 100vw, 1601px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2>7. Target Food Bloggers and Influencers<\/h2>\n<p>According to a <a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.constantcontact.com\/restaurants-most-searched-industry-by-consumers-on-mobile-devices-and-other-hot-topics\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">recent study<\/a>, consumers search online for restaurants more than any other industry. 81% of consumers have searched on a mobile app and 92% through a browser in the past 6 months. Three-quarters of these consumers say they choose a restaurant based on the search results. If you\u2019re a new restaurant, it can be tough to generate a strong web presence with initial reviews and buzz about your business. One way to do this is to invite food bloggers to your restaurant.<\/p>\n<p>Find relevant influencers through a social media management system like Hootsuite, Sprout Social or Buffer. Below are a few tips on what to look for in a brand partner:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Look for local bloggers<\/strong> \u2013\u00a0A celebrity blogger with a national following won\u2019t drive the same foot traffic as a foodie in your local area.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Search for high engagement rates<\/strong> \u2013 Aside from follower count, look for the influencer\u2019s average engagement rate. If only 2% of their 100k followers actually like or comment on posts, the partnership may not be worth the cost.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Confirm the blogger\u2019s brand voice<\/strong> \u2013\u00a0Make sure your restaurant values align with the influencer\u2019s messaging and aesthetic for an authentic review.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Or, look up specific hashtags on Instagram and see which accounts come up. Reach out to a blogger with an offer for a free appetizer or meal, then simply ask them to share an honest, objective review with others.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"img-responsive aligncenter wp-image-16696 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.valpak.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/food-blogger.png\" alt=\"food blog influencer tacos \" width=\"1601\" height=\"872\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.valpak.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/food-blogger.png 1601w, https:\/\/www.valpak.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/food-blogger-300x163.png 300w, https:\/\/www.valpak.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/food-blogger-768x418.png 768w, https:\/\/www.valpak.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/food-blogger-1024x558.png 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1601px) 100vw, 1601px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>While you can\u2019t guarantee the outcome, getting more information out there will help increase the buzz and interest for your restaurant. Some influencers have huge followings and this strategy can lead to big results.<\/p>\n<h2>8. Take Advantage of Foodie Events<\/h2>\n<p>The list of food holidays is truly never-ending. There are so many opportunities to get creative, from National Pizza Day to World Nutella Day.<\/p>\n<p>Use holidays or big events to your advantage by planning a social media contest, promotion or discount around a specific food. A <a href=\"https:\/\/www.valpak.com\/advertise\/blog\/small-business-marketing-calendar\">marketing calendar<\/a> is helpful for planning and organizing opportunities.<\/p>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/nconnections.com\/blog\/2019\/02\/07\/here-are-the-3-busiest-days-of-the-year-for-restaurants\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">busiest restaurant holidays<\/a> for the industry are Mother\u2019s Day, Valentine\u2019s Day and Father\u2019s Day.
