Step by step
- Complete your Google listing. Hours, photos, menu, your own order link. Free and the biggest source of new guests.
- Reply to every review. Ten minutes a week.
- Post real food photos. Three a week on Google and social media.
- QR code on every bag. Sends the next order to your own page.
- Team up with neighbors. A gym, a salon, an office next door: swap flyers or offer their staff a lunch deal.
