How Restaurants Can Attract More Customers with Social Media Videos
When was the last time you picked a restaurant without checking it out online first? Chances are, you looked at photos, reviews… and if a video popped up showing the vibe, the menu, or how the food was made — that probably sealed the deal.
In 2025, restaurants need more than a good plate — they need great content to keep customers coming in.
The New Normal: Eating with Our Eyes (First)
With platforms like Instagram and TikTok setting the tone for food trends, the way people choose where to eat has changed forever.
Customers now expect behind-the-scenes clips, chef spotlights, or even just a well-lit slow-motion pour of their favorite drink.
And it’s not just hype. Video content drives real, measurable results.
📊 Restaurants that consistently post short-form video get up to 49% more engagement than those who rely on static images. More views = more foot traffic.
What Kind of Video Works Best for Restaurants?
🍔 Menu Highlights
Show off your signature dishes. Make viewers hungry with well-lit, cinematic close-ups and short descriptions over music.
🎥 “A Day in the Kitchen”
Give a peek behind the curtain. People love seeing how their favorite meals are prepared — it builds connection and trust.
🧑🍳 Chef Introductions or Staff Reels
These humanize your brand and help customers feel like they’re part of something local and authentic.
📱 Reels, TikToks, and Short-Form Vertical Videos
Snackable content gets shared faster and works perfectly with trending sounds and hashtags.
