What restaurant marketing workflows should I automate first?
The restaurant marketing workflows you should automate first are review requests and win-back campaigns, since both have a direct, easily measured impact on revenue and reputation with minimal setup complexity. Review requests sent immediately after a great visit consistently outperform ones sent later or not at all, and they compound over time by improving your search visibility on Google. Win-back messages targeting guests who haven't visited in 30 to 60 days recover revenue that would otherwise just be lost quietly. After those two are running well, add birthday or anniversary offers and a simple welcome sequence for first-time guests. Trying to automate everything, loyalty tiers, event promotions, seasonal campaigns, all at once usually means none of it gets built properly. Start narrow, prove it works, then expand.
