Marketing for restaurants · Social media as the lever

Marketing for restaurants.
Through social media. With bookings you can count.

We take on strategy, photo and video content and the ongoing management of your channels. You concentrate on the kitchen and the floor, while Instagram, Facebook, TikTok and Google Business bring new guests to your tables.

7 in 10 restaurant guests decide on social media where they book. If your feed does not convince them, the next one will.

The reality

Why restaurants lose guests on social media.

Guests do not decide in front of the menu. They decide while scrolling. One quick look at photos, Reels and reviews, and the table is booked somewhere else.

01

Posts without a plan

A reel here, a story there, then nothing for three weeks. Growth does not come out of that. The algorithm rewards consistency, not bursts.

02

Weak imagery in the feed

Phone photos snatched between two services, harsh ceiling LEDs, a smear on the rim of the plate. Anyone scrolling sees it in three seconds and books elsewhere.

03

Likes, but no bookings

Reach without strategy produces numbers that feed nobody. What counts is tables booked, not thumbs counted.

The uncomfortable truth

You lose at least 10 guests a day. To competitors with a better social media presence.

The problem is not your kitchen. It is how you show up in your guests’ feed.

What helps

  • A content calendar with a clear purpose behind every post.
  • Professional photo and video content produced on site.
  • Ongoing publishing with bookings measured properly.

What you get

What professional social media management actually delivers.

01

Visibility with the right guests

We make your restaurant visible where people look for inspiration today: Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, Google Maps. Not to just anyone, but to people in your area who fit your concept.

Trust before the first visit

Guests do not book because of one dish, they book because of a feeling. A consistent look, honest voices from the team, visible atmosphere and attentive service. That builds trust before anyone starts comparing.

Bookings, not just reach

Likes are nice, full tables are better. Every post has a purpose: a booking, a call, a request for directions. We measure what actually happens and adjust the content accordingly.

How we work

Four steps from the first call to ongoing management.

Clear steps, no surprises. We work in a way that leaves your service running and shows you every month what actually brings guests in.

  1. 1
    Step 1

    Briefing and stocktake

    In a 10 to 30 minute first call we talk about your restaurant, your guests, your brand. We look at your current channels and tell you honestly what works and what does not.

    • Which dishes carry your revenue?
    • Which platforms suit your audience?
    • What are your strongest competitors already getting right?
  2. 2
    Step 2

    Strategy and content calendar

    We build a content calendar for the coming weeks: topics, formats, frequency, clear goals. You see in advance what gets published and when. No standard packages.

  3. 3
    Step 3

    Content shoot on site

    We come to your restaurant with our own kit and produce professional photo and video content. During service or between the rushes. You barely notice us.

    • 20 to 40 photos per shoot
    • 5 to 10 videos for Reels, TikTok and Stories
    • Editing in one consistent look included
  4. 4
    Step 4

    Ongoing management and ads

    We plan, produce and publish your content. Plus targeted geo ads within a two kilometre radius, monthly reports with real booking numbers and continuous adjustments.

Step 1 starts with a 10 to 30 minute first call. Free, without obligation, and not a sales pitch.

Why vollbelegt.

What sets us apart from a standard agency.

Six points where you will notice that we understand hospitality. No marketing slogans, just ways of working that fit your day-to-day service.

  • 01

    Hospitality only

    We work with hospitality and nothing else. Restaurants, cafés, bars, bakeries. No fashion, no property, no SaaS startups.

  • 02

    Services with real added value

    We offer things standard agencies do not put in a package. Daily stories with your specials on Instagram and WhatsApp Business, for example, or replies to your Google reviews within 24 hours.

  • 03

    Three new clients a month, maximum

    Quality over quantity. A few restaurants done properly beats many done badly. That way your account stays visible on our workbench.

  • 04

    Zero disruption to service

    We shoot while you cook and serve. We know the pressure from experience. Your guests never notice us.

  • 05

    Real bookings, measured

    We track calls, direction requests and bookings per channel. Every month you see what actually brings guests to your table.

  • 06

    A clear thread, not coincidence

    Strategy, brand image and content work together. Every post has a purpose, every campaign an occasion.
