Transcript

It tier restaurant should post besides food? Number one, real conversations. Think overheard at Wimbledon vibes, but instead of branding it for your restaurant that most people probably haven't heard of yet, you can name the series something more broadly appealing, like overheard over lunch or overheard on date night depending on the vibe you wanna promote. And each episode could end with people actually remarking on the food. So you suddenly plug that first better experience in a format that can be cut a ton of different ways. Number two, tastings. Rather than constantly telling people what you sell, you can bring your menu items to life by sharing what real stakeholders think about your food and could set the stakes with on screen best like POV, your boss tries your new menu items for the first tier, which not only increases social proof by revealing tier reaction, but also introduces the chefs as the hero in each post that people start to look for and root for. And then lastly, you could leverage real receipts to ask chefs questions about actual orders. Like, what was the most popular item on the dish last week? What was the strangest? What was the most expensive? And so on. And then have them answer and walk you through how to prepare that dish. So it feels more like an interactive cooking show that highlights the quality and personality behind your dishes instead of another photo of food in someone's feed.
