Tell people what your cuisine is like. Let them know if your restaurant is kid-friendly and if you offer take-out.” – [Restaurant Engine](https://restaurantengine.com/effective-restaurant-social-media-marketing/) **2.** “Use lots of photos of your food - The most shared posts on Facebook are images. You’re in the business of food, and food is extremely visual. Be sure to include lots of images of your food in your regular Facebook updates.” - [Wishpond](https://blog.wishpond.com/post/57638303180/social-media-marketing-for-restaurants-21-tips) **3.** “People judge the book by its cover so in order to attract attention of social media users, you need to have beautiful branding: logo, branded images and a unique restaurant hashtag.” – [Brand24](https://brand24.com/blog/restaurant-social-media-marketing/) **4.** “Yelp provides users with reviews and recommendations of top restaurants, hotels, tourist destinations, shops and more. If you haven’t set up a listing already, you must list your restaurant on Yelp.” - [Boostability](https://www.boostability.com/10-ways-to-promote-your-restaurant-on-social-media) **5.** “Use your most popular social channels to promote the other channels. The more touch points you can build with a customer outside your restaurant the better and social media is the perfect way to do it.” – [Upserve Restaurant Insider](https://upserve.com/restaurant-insider/9-fresh-ideas-for-restaurant-social-media-content/) **6.** “Twitter is great for short messages such as daily meal deals, promotions, last minute menu additions and changes, fun facts and photos, and more. Include links to your website’s menu items.” – [Restaurant Engine](https://restaurantengine.com/promote-restaurant-social-media/) **7.** “A blog is a great outlet to publish content that you can then share on social networks. You can blog about anything related to your company or your industry, but make sure it is worthwhile for the reader. Share interesting facts or information about the food you serve, or even recipes of your most popular dishes!” – [Menu Cover Man](http://menucoverman.com/restaurants-social-networking.html) **8.** “With the evidence in favor of using social media influencers to promote your restaurant, it pays to create a strategy to take advantage of influencer marketing.  With 84% of marketers planning to use influencers in their campaigns, don’t get left behind by failing to utilize the people that can influence your potential customers’ attention.” - [Deputy](https://www.deputy.com/us/blog/how-to-use-social-media-influencers-to-promote-your-restaurant) **9.** “Free video hosting sites such as YouTube and Vimeo allow you to post short recordings of your restaurant, special recipes you want to share or events you host that will attract more customers to your brand. People love free tips, so consider making videos about how to shop for, store or prepare certain types of foods or beverages.” - [Chron](http://smallbusiness.chron.com/social-media-strategies-restaurant-business-11353.html) **10.** “Instagram is the platform chosen for social media influencers and is the most visually pleasing in terms of aesthetic.
