The channel mix stays recognisable (Instagram, TikTok, Meta Ads) but the assets change: Dish close-ups and Kitchen process video usually carry more weight than generic brand content.

From AED 4,500 / month + media. Cost tracks production volume and the number of locations or product lines, not the sector label.

Can you handle multiple branches or locations?

Yes. Multi-location restaurants and cafés work needs separate location pages, separate profiles and separate reporting, otherwise one strong branch hides the weak ones.

What do you measure for restaurants and cafés?

Cost per qualified enquiry, Hook rate, Click-through rate, mapped back to the pipeline stages the owner or group marketing manager already reports on.

Do you have experience with restaurants and cafés in Dubai?

The real brief

What restaurants and cafés actually need from social media marketing

Social Media Marketing for restaurants and cafés in Dubai is a different job from generic social media marketing. The buyer is usually a owner or group marketing manager, and the problem behind the brief is normally this: aggregator fees consume delivery profit.

So the work starts from proof rather than posting. For restaurants and cafés that means assets like dish close-ups, kitchen process video, reviewer-led content — produced in batches, published on a dated calendar and distributed through Instagram, TikTok, Meta Ads.

We keep the claims defensible: nothing published that you could not support if a customer, a platform or a regulator asked.

Indicative investment starts at AED 4,500 / month + media, with media budget separate and paid by you directly. First campaigns live in 2 weeks.

What we plan around

The things a owner or group marketing manager raises before they will commit — and the asset that answers each one.
