AI marketing for restaurants
A lot of dinner decisions get made on a phone in the few minutes before someone gets hungry enough to act. They look at photos of the food, check last week's reviews and pick. Flo keeps your restaurant in those few minutes.
Americans spend more than $100 billion a month at restaurants and bars. Very little of it is loyalty to a brand. It is a choice between whatever showed up when someone searched.
Written for the minutes before dinner.
Which kind of restaurant do you run?
A group running several restaurants, an independent restaurant with a chef and a floor team, and an owner running the place day to day all need the same thing from a phone search, which is a reason to come tonight. Pick yours.
Restaurant use cases
Four jobs the platform runs on a restaurant account, most of them aimed at the decision about where to eat tonight.
Tonight's Reason
The special, the new dish or the patio opening, posted before people decide.
Photos That Sell
Plates from your own kitchen, not stock photos of someone else's.
Every Review Answered
Including the one about the wait, because diners read the replies.
Bring Regulars Back
A note to the people who came for a birthday last year.
Other food and beverage businesses we set up differently
Restaurants sit next to the other places people choose on a phone before they get hungry.
Marketing by company size
The same platform, framed by how many kitchens, trucks or locations you run, not by what you cook.
You have questions. We have answers.
What comes up on the first call with a restaurant.
We are busy on weekends. Where does marketing help?
Tuesday and Wednesday. Weekends fill themselves at most restaurants. A post about a midweek special, and a note to regulars on a slow night, are where the extra covers come from.
What should a restaurant post?
The food, made in your kitchen, photographed the day you serve it. New dishes, specials and the people cooking them. A real plate shows diners what actually arrives at the table, which a generic professional shot cannot.
Do reviews really matter?
They decide a lot of first visits. People read the recent ones and the owner's replies, especially to complaints. A calm, specific reply to a bad review shows the next reader how you handle a problem.
Is email worth it for a restaurant?
For regulars and special occasions, yes. A birthday note, an invitation to a wine dinner or news of the new menu goes to people who already like you and gives them a reason to book.
