Questions restaurant owners ask
What makes a good restaurant Instagram caption?
Front-load the hook — the first line is all most people see before “more”. Keep it short, specific, and end with one clear action: come in, order, tap the link.
How many hashtags should restaurants use?
Current practice favors a handful of genuinely relevant tags over 30 generic ones. Local tags (#yourcityeats) tend to matter more than giant ones (#food).
How often should a restaurant post on Instagram?
Consistency beats volume: 3–4 good posts a week outperforms a daily grind that burns out by March. Batch a week of captions in one sitting with this tool.
Does Instagram actually bring in orders?
It brings attention; conversion happens at the link in your bio. Point it at a fast menu page with direct ordering — not a PDF — so the craving has somewhere to go.
