Facebook ads involve a whole new terrain, but they can be extremely powerful once understand how they work. Here is a post to learn more about them.

Respond To Reviews

Your reputation can make or break your restaurant brand. One bad review and a display of nonchalance on your part, and people may be turned off by the prospect of visiting your restaurant. That’s why you should always be on the lookout for reviews left online about your restaurant. Research shows that 71% of users are more likely to recommend a company that responds swiftly to them on social media. So, always make sure to respond fast to reviews whether they are positive or negative. If you respond to a negative review quickly enough, you may be able to remedy the problem and have the unfavourable review removed by the user. Featured Image Source: Travelstart
