Facebook has become a valuable marketing tool, particularly for customers aged 35-60 with disposable income.

Dine Niagara will post approximately once per month about your restaurant as part of your subscription plan (unless you have instructed us not to) to help create visibility and content about your restaurant.

We highly recommend following a regular posting strategy of your own content through a Facebook Page dedicated to your business. If you are not comfortable managing a social media presence for your restaurant, feel free to reach out as our marketing team can offer monthly solutions to provide regular posting for your business.

Best Practices - Posting

Foodie Photography

Make sure to make your food the focus! Customers love to see the food you make and it is a great influence to getting them to order. Wherever possible use professional (or high quality) photos of your actual food and avoid using stock photographs or AI generated images. While stock and AI images can be a quick way to post something, if it doesn't reflect the actual look or quality of your food it can have a negative impact on your customer.

Add a Start Order Button
