Digital Marketing for Restaurants
Uber Eats takes 30% of every order. DoorDash owns the customer relationship. And when someone walks past your restaurant, they check Google reviews first. You need your own digital presence - not a listing on someone else's platform.

Digital marketing for restaurants focuses on Google Maps visibility, direct booking systems, and reducing dependency on third-party delivery platforms. Restaurants with optimised Google Business Profiles and their own ordering websites typically cut the commission they pay delivery apps and win more direct bookings over time.
Three problems killing restaurant margins.
You make incredible food. But the platforms eat your profits.
Uber Eats and DoorDash take 30%
On a $50 order, you're giving away $15 to the delivery platform. That's your margin, gone. Worse - the platform owns the customer. They don't come back to you, they come back to the app. Your own website with direct ordering changes that equation entirely.
No direct booking system
Someone wants to book a table for Friday night. They Google your restaurant, find a Facebook page with no booking button, and go somewhere else. A website with integrated booking captures those customers before they move on - at 10pm on a Tuesday when you're not answering the phone.
Seasonal foot traffic swings
Summer brings the crowds. Winter empties the tables. Without a digital strategy to drive traffic during quiet periods - Google Ads for events, SEO content for seasonal menus, email campaigns to past diners - you're at the mercy of the weather and foot traffic.
Three services that fill tables and cut commissions.
Google Maps, targeted ads, and a website that works for you 24/7.
