Marketing your restaurant is simpler than the experts might lead you to believe. Yes, there are technical aspects to doing it well, but more than that it simply requires a strategic approach.

Intention is a word I use a lot when it comes to marketing.

The question I'm often posed is: "How much should I be spending on my marketing?" And the answer you'll often here is somewhere between 3-4%. So if you generate about $100K a month in revenue, you should be spending about $4K on your marketing.

But that's a poor way of looking at it because it doesn't ask you to think about the return. Marketing dollars are an investment, not just a spend. So if you're investing the dollars, you need to be clear about what sort of return to expect.

On today's episode we're simplifying all of this!
