Restaurant marketing in Toronto

Make the food memorable and the practical details easy to find. I offer short videos, local Meta ads and website work for restaurants and cafés in Toronto.

The problem

A food video can get attention from anywhere. A local diner still needs to know where you are, when you are open, what is on the menu and how to reserve or order. The creative and that practical information need to agree.

A few directions

Ideas are adapted to the business and agreed scope.

Build a story around one dish

Film a signature dish from preparation to the table. Put the restaurant name and neighbourhood in the piece and give the viewer a specific reason to visit, based on what you actually serve.

Choose the destination before the ad

A lunch special can lead to a current menu; a dinner occasion can lead to reservations. Keep hours, availability and pricing accurate on the destination page.

Make the phone journey easy

Check whether the menu is readable on a phone and whether reservation or ordering links work. Agree a focused set of website changes around the route diners will actually use.

Proof you can inspect

Instagram reel insights showing 1,150,970 views and 643,263 viewers

I do not currently publish a restaurant client case. My own Quantlarper project shows short-form creative reach: a saved 30-day snapshot reports 1.2 million views with no ad spend. That audience result does not prove restaurant visits or orders.

If we work together

Your current menu, hours, location, reservation or ordering link, the offer to feature and a filming window that works for the kitchen. We agree on deliverables and revisions before starting. Monthly work is CAD $700–$1,000; ad spend and major website work are separate.

Reservation or order enquiries → confirmed bookings or orders. Report link clicks separately when completed transactions cannot be attributed.

Will views tell me whether people visited?

No. Views measure exposure. Reservations, tracked orders or a consistently recorded in-store response give more useful evidence of customer action. The measurement plan depends on your existing systems.
