social media marketing for restaurants & cafes.
videos people finish, share and drive to.
restaurants post plated food to people who already eat there. the videos that travel show people, reactions and moments. this is the on-location playbook behind 14,000,000 views for a gym and 3,800,000 for a zoo, built for kitchens and dining rooms.

why restaurant content stalls
restaurants post plated dishes, daily specials and holiday hours. that reaches people who already follow you, and food photos are some of the most copied content on the feed. the ceiling is sameness.
a restaurant’s best asset usually isn’t the dish. it’s the people and the moments around it.
what works for restaurants
people first, then food. quick questions to real guests with a one-word caption, the kitchen crew as characters, and the regulars everyone knows. those are the mechanics behind ultraflex gym’s 6.2M and 5.5M videos and zoo new york’s 3.8M character video, moved into a dining room.
what we film for a restaurant in one weekend
- guest reactions to a first bite.
- “rate this dish from 1 to 10” with your regulars.
- the chef and line cooks as characters.
- secret menu items and what only regulars order.
- a speed-run of a busy night in the kitchen.
- drink builds behind the bar.
- staff picks and closing-time moments.
hooks we’d test first
- “rate this [dish] from 1 to 10.”
- “we asked strangers to guess the secret ingredient.”
- “the [item] nobody orders but everyone should.”
- “pov: you’re the line cook when the tickets won’t stop.”
- “ordering everything on the menu.”
these are templates we’d test in the first weeks. see 21 hook formulas with real examples.
