Restaurants & Cafes

Digital growth for restaurants and cafes

Aggregator commissions are eating margins. Walk-in covers are slowing on weekdays. Your restaurant needs a brand on Google and Instagram that fills tables — not just orders on Swiggy or UberEats.

The problems we hear every week

Aggregators own your customers

Swiggy, Zomato, UberEats, Talabat take a 25–30% cut and never share customer data. Direct orders are 2x more profitable but invisible without a website.

Weekday lunch covers are dropping

Without an active Google Business Profile, weekly Instagram, and a review engine — buyers nearby don't see you, even when they're hungry and within 500 metres.

Reviews are inconsistent and uncontrolled

One bad review buries you for weeks. No system to encourage 5-star reviews after good experiences.

Restaurants & Cafes FAQ

Will direct ordering really work alongside Swiggy / Zomato?

Yes — and you'll prefer it. Repeat customers happily switch to your direct channel for 10–15% loyalty discount, and you keep 100% of revenue + the customer data.

Do you handle food photography?

Premium and Annual Growth bundles include 1 quarterly food shoot + reels day. Smaller engagements use phone photography we direct.

Can the site show daily specials?

Yes. We give you a simple admin panel — change today's specials, hide sold-out items, update prices in 30 seconds.

Multi-location — how do you handle 2-5 outlets?

One brand site with location-specific pages (each with its own menu, GBP listing, reviews and ordering radius). Lead and order routing per location.

Cloud kitchen — does the playbook still work?

Yes. The mix shifts more to direct online ordering + GBP + paid local ads. Reservations and walk-in flow are removed.

What about WhatsApp menu broadcasts?

Verified WhatsApp Business with menu broadcast, table booking, order confirmation — all included.

How do you respond to negative reviews?

We draft response templates (calm, owner-toned). You review and post. We never post on your behalf without sign-off.

Do you handle table booking integrations like OpenTable?

Yes — OpenTable, Resy, Dineout, Zomato Book — embedded into your site.

Will you set up loyalty / gift cards?

Loyalty in Premium and Annual Growth. Gift cards via Stripe / Razorpay can be added on Professional+.

We're a single-cuisine specialist — does it still apply?

Yes. We build cuisine-specific funnels (e.g. 'Authentic Chettinad Coimbatore', 'Specialty coffee Bangalore') that rank fast and convert well.
