Questions from restaurants and cafés
How do restaurants get more customers from Google?
Keep your profile, menu and hours accurate, add fresh photos often, respond to reviews and make reservations or ordering easy.
Is social media worth it for a small café?
Yes. Short food and atmosphere videos are some of the most engaging local content.
Can a chatbot answer allergen questions?
It can share your approved allergen policy and direct specific concerns to staff. It shouldn't guarantee an item is allergen-free.
Do Facebook ads work for restaurants?
For events, launches and slow-night promotions within a small radius, they often can.
