Let your customers know whether to order from your website or an app, what pickup and delivery options you offer, and what your hours are.
Highlight a favorite dish or an enticing new addition to your menu. Be sure to include an image of your dish.
Consider running a promotion to help boost orders. Promotions are often a useful tool in driving more orders but can also be costly, so carefully consider the duration and cost of the promotion.
If you offer gift cards, consider promoting them as an easy and enjoyable gift for friends and family.
If you have a loyalty program, let customers know how to join and what rewards you offer.
Connect with your customers on a more personal level by sharing how you started, which menu items are personal favorites, or how you developed a new dish.
