Marketing your restaurant doesn’t have to be complicated or expensive but with today’s many restaurants competing for attention, you have to work harder to stand out. That means setting aside funds and planning your marketing future.

Working within your budget will help you manage your expectations and keep your marketing consistent with your brand.
Set Your Own Budget With Social Media Marketing
Social media is an extremely popular way to reach customers and keep them up to date on your latest specials, menu changes, and events. Social media in and of itself is free and easy to use—you most likely use it every day yourself.
You can run ads or boost posts on Facebook to get noticed by more people. Here, you can set an audience that you would like to reach in your area and a budget that works for you.
Build Credibility With Email Marketing
Email marketing is an effective way to reach customers by sending newsletters and deals directly to their inbox. This strategy is also an excellent way to help build credibility, improve communication to your guests, build your brand, and more.
Give Back With Community Events
Partnering with a local business or charity to host community events is a great way to get noticed. If you host these events at your restaurant, you will need to be prepared:
- Narrow down the menu
- Decide on guests
- Observe food safety standards
- Set a budget
Once the details are down, advertise the event and your restaurant by teaming up with the business or charity to distribute flyers, run paper ads, and post about the event on social media.
Show Off Your Restaurant’s Menu
Don’t forget the one marketing tool you will always have: your menu!
Using your menu as a marketing tool is a great way to get people interested in your restaurant. Use mouthwatering descriptions of your fare, put it online for people to easily browse, and show off name brands you utilize.
Manage Your Marketing Budget With Cloud POS
To easily manage your restaurant’s marketing budget, choose a Cloud POS system from DCRS. Thanks to its ability to consolidate data from across different locations and keep data secure, a modern Cloud POS system can easily help you calculate and manage your restaurant’s budget from food and labor costs to marketing.
