What channels work best for restaurant marketing automation?
The channels that work best for restaurant marketing automation are text messaging and email, with texting generally outperforming email for time-sensitive offers because open rates on text run far higher and guests see them within minutes rather than hours. Email works well for less urgent content, like a monthly newsletter or a detailed event announcement, where guests aren't expected to act immediately. Review requests convert best over text since guests are more likely to tap a link and leave a review right after a meal than come back to an email later. Some restaurants also automate through app-based push notifications if they have their own app, though that's less common for independent operators. Most restaurants get the best results running text and email together rather than relying on just one.
