Frequently Asked Questions

How often should a restaurant post on social media?
Most restaurants see optimal results posting 4-5 times per week on Instagram and 3-4 times on TikTok. Consistency matters more than volume. We build a sustainable content calendar that keeps your feed active without overwhelming your audience or diluting quality.
Can social media actually drive restaurant reservations?
Absolutely. With geo-targeted ads, compelling food content, and direct booking links, social media is one of the most cost-effective reservation drivers available. Our restaurant clients typically see a 30-40% lift in online reservations within 90 days of launching a managed campaign.
Do you handle food photography for restaurants?
Yes. Our content team produces scroll-stopping food photography and short-form video specifically formatted for each platform. We schedule shoots around your menu updates and seasonal changes so your feed always reflects what guests will actually find on the plate.
How do you handle negative reviews on social media?
We monitor all platforms in real time and respond to negative feedback within hours using pre-approved brand guidelines. Our approach turns complaints into opportunities by acknowledging concerns, offering solutions, and demonstrating your commitment to guest satisfaction publicly.
What social platforms are most important for restaurants?
Instagram and TikTok are the primary discovery platforms for restaurants today, followed by Google Business Profile and Facebook for local search. We prioritize based on your target demographic — younger diners skew TikTok while families and professionals often discover through Instagram and Google.
How long before we see results from restaurant social media management?
You should see measurable engagement increases within 30 days and meaningful reservation or foot traffic impact within 60-90 days. Building a loyal community takes 4-6 months of consistent effort, which is why we recommend a minimum engagement period to achieve lasting results.
