What Restaurant Content Actually Works?
Posting "Open for lunch" won't fill tables. You need content that makes mouths water and fingers tap "reserve."
- ✓ Daily specials with stunning photos: Show the dish, not just describe it
- ✓ Behind-the-scenes kitchen content: Chefs plating, prep work, ingredient sourcing. Get ready-to-film content ideas
- ✓ Customer testimonials and reviews: Let happy diners sell for you
- ✓ Food holidays and seasonal menus: National Taco Day, pumpkin season, holiday menus. Plan ahead with our holiday post generator
- ✓ Partner with local food vendors: Collaborate with farmers market vendors to showcase local ingredients and support community producers
- ✓ Team spotlights: Introduce servers, chefs, managers. Make it personal.
- ✓ Fill empty tables: Similar to salons filling appointment slots with strategic availability posts, restaurants need smart reservation reminders
Create compelling restaurant captions and find trending food hashtags for every post.
The Restaurant Content Mix
Signature dishes, daily specials, seasonal items, new menu additions. Professional food photography is non-negotiable. Consider hiring a photographer quarterly.
Kitchen prep, plating process, ingredient sourcing, team at work. This builds authenticity and makes your restaurant feel human.
Reviews, testimonials, customer photos (with permission), celebration posts. Social proof drives reservations.
Special offers, events, happy hour deals, reservation CTAs. Don't overdo promos or you'll train people to wait for discounts. Use our promo calendar generator to plan strategic offers.
