We all have to eat. And when people are on the go especially during the busy holiday shopping season they’re often looking to grab a bite close by. We all know this because “restaurants near me” has been the most popular “near me” search for the last five years.
Also, despite the growth in online shopping, more than half of purchases still happen in-store during the holidays. And when you consider food-related and restaurant searches, like “restaurants,” “restaurants near me,” and “food near me,” commonly appear in the top 20 searches for many retailers, it’s easy to see why the holidays are critical for restaurants. As proof, a recent study conducted by Google and Numerator found that of the top highest sales days for restaurants last year, 72% of them occurred in October, November, and December.

That said, it’s clear restaurants around the world have a unique opportunity to turn hungry holiday shoppers into your next customer. For brands looking to win more foot traffic this season, here are three ways to ensure you’re maximizing your restaurant strategy for holiday success.

In addition to standard information, like hours, directions, and wait times, feedbacks, reviews, highlighting offerings that are unique to your locations can make all the difference.

 Around 90% of research before visiting a restaurant is done by smartphone.

 Optimize campaign as deal-seeking days

 While shoppers go out shopping visit either a full or quick-service restaurant. We already know shoppers are even more engaged on their phones during prime deal days. Mobile searches for “best deals” have grown over 90% in last two years. Restaurants can make the most of these moments by getting in front of shoppers with the help of hyperlocal ads.
