Fun Social Media Post Ideas for Restaurants
[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]You probably make sure the food in your restaurant is always fresh but you shouldn’t let your social media posting get stale either! Many diners do research for restaurants on social media before choosing to eat there. Infrequent or non-existent social media posting can be the determining factor for a customer to choose a competitor over you. Here are some ideas for your restaurant’s social media posts:
Tell your story. Good food may bring customers to your establishment but they will keep coming back if they love your story. This kind of post can be stretched into various photos or videos and last much longer than you think! How did you start? What is your background? Why did you choose the kind of cuisine you serve? Share throwback photos of the space you are in or the first location you opened!
Share behind the scenes. People love to see how their favorite dishes are made. Share what you are comfortable with if you are worried about your secret ingredients becoming widely known. Show your talented chefs and their technique. You can also share videos teaching how to properly chop vegetables.
Highlight the people on your team. You have brought together a unique group of people to bring your dream to life. Do team spotlights in different posts. What is your sommelier’s favorite wine on your wine list? What pairings do your servers love? There are endless possibilities for posts about your team!
Take advantage of user-generated content. Regulars and tourists traveling through have probably posted photos on social media or in the reviews of your restaurant. These photos increase your credibility and entice new customers to visit you. Always ask if you can share the photos before you do.
Share menu and special updates. Whenever you add a special or change your menu, make a post about it! This will bring attention to your updates and your regulars will want to visit right away to try what is new.

Have any questions?
We have answers.
Can you help me grow Instagram followers?
We partner with Socialboost to help build Instagram followers. Click the link below to enroll. Plans start at $59/mo.
What photos or videos do you use?
By default, we can use the photos you have on your website as well as utilizing the plethora of photos available to us within our royalty free library.
If you have photos or videos for us to use, depending on your subscription, we welcome you to upload them into a Google Drive folder and share that link with us!
Looking for custom videos? Some of our plans include videos or you can add them to any plan starting at $98/mo!
How do you mimic my branding colors and style?
As mentioned above, depending on your plan, we can use whatever you’d like to provide us! If not, we’ll resort to using your website or our royalty free library.
That being said, we can come up with custom graphics that suit your branding style as an add-on to your posting subscription.
$98/month for 3 custom graphics each week
$148/month for 5 custom graphics each week
Note: The cost of custom graphics is on top of your monthly subscription cost
What is content review & approval?
Content review and approval is where your social media content creator sends you a weeks worth of posts, prior to their designated publication time the following week.
This way, you will have the chance to give us feedback on each post in case you’d like us to make a minor edit.
Note: One round of editing per post permitted, depending on your plan.
What are the results I can expect from your posting services?
The idea behind consistent posting onto your social media pages is to keep them active with content that promotes your business solutions, educates your audience to showcase your expertise and to also keep things lighthearted, it’s social media after all!
There’s nothing worse for a business than to earn someone looking into what you do, only for them to see a barren social media page. To them, it may appear that you are out of business or potentially a scam.
We are often asked about growing followers and generating sales or leads. These are great goals to have but please understand that those goals are better obtained through paid advertising campaigns.
For more information on paid advertising, please visit our paid advertising services.
Do you use a posting scheduler and how do you get access to my business pages?
We are fortunate to be partnered with CloudCampaign.com to utilize their excellent scheduling platform.
By signing up for our content services, we will set you up with your own Cloud Campaign workspace depending on your plan.
During onboarding we request admin access to your social accounts using a secure platform. This allows us to manage the occasional disconnect when the platforms push out updates.
Furthermore, with your own workspace you are welcome to view and edit content at your leisure!
Why do my posts say “Posted by Cloud Campaign”
We use Cloud Campaign, which is a 3rd party app, to scale social media management and posting. When a post says “Posted by Cloud Campaign”, it is only the admins of your company page that can see this and not your followers.
