Restaurant Advertising

Fill Tables, Not Just Feeds. Drive Real Foot Traffic to Your Restaurant.

Geofence competitors, target hungry locals, and measure who actually walks through your door.

The Advertising Challenge for Restaurants

Restaurants live and die by foot traffic. Social media helps with awareness, but it's hard to know if a Facebook post actually put someone in a seat. Google Ads captures people already searching, but you're bidding against every restaurant in town.

Programmatic advertising lets you target people based on where they go, what they're interested in, and where they live — then measure whether they actually visited your restaurant. It's the missing piece between 'I saw your ad' and 'I ate at your restaurant.'

How Programmatic Works for Restaurants

Competitor Geofencing

Draw a fence around competing restaurants. Anyone who visits a competitor gets your ads served on their devices for up to 30 days. Pull diners to your spot instead.

Event Targeting

Target people attending concerts, sporting events, festivals, and conventions near your location. Reach hungry crowds before and after events.

Mobile-First Targeting

Reach diners on their phones when they're deciding where to eat. Serve ads based on real-time location, time of day, and dining behavior.

Foot Traffic Measurement

Draw a Conversion Zone around your restaurant. Count how many people saw your ad and then physically walked in. Know your true cost per visit.

Campaign Use Cases

Grand Opening: Geofence a 5-mile radius plus all competing restaurants. Hit mobile and display hard for 2 weeks before opening. Measure opening week foot traffic.

Lunch Rush: Target office buildings and business parks within 3 miles during 10am-1pm. Serve mobile ads with your lunch specials to drive midday traffic.

Weekend Dinner: Run CTV and video ads Thursday-Saturday targeting food enthusiasts and date-night planners in your zip codes. Track Friday-Sunday visits.

Event Night: Geofence the stadium or concert venue. Serve ads to attendees before and after the event promoting your pre-game specials or late-night menu.
