How Diners Choose Restaurants & Cafes
Diners choose restaurants from maps, reviews, delivery apps and social media, often within minutes. Regulars bring most of the revenue, so table bookings, direct orders and well-timed offers matter more than one-off promotions.
Common Challenges
- Dependence on delivery aggregators and their commissions
- Weekday tables that stay empty
- Reviews and photos that drive choice but are hard to influence

How customers choose
Diners search 'restaurants near me', check menus, photos and reviews on Google Maps, Instagram or delivery apps, and then book a table or order online. Regulars are won through good experiences, loyalty offers and remembering their preferences.
Channel mix
Google Maps and delivery apps drive discovery; Instagram and TikTok show dishes and atmosphere; WhatsApp takes reservations and orders; SMS sends booking confirmations and loyalty offers; email shares event and menu news.
Compliance points
Menus must show allergen information in the UK and EU, and calorie labelling applies to larger chains in some countries. Promotional messages need opt-in, and alcohol promotions are restricted or banned in some markets, including much of the Gulf.
Campaign ideas
- Birthday offers for loyalty members
- Quiet-day promotions on Monday and Tuesday evenings
- New menu launch invitations to regular diners
