Restaurant Marketing in African Cities

Urban dining is growing fast.

What works

Instagram, WhatsApp orders, delivery apps, events.

Common mistakes to avoid

• Letting the agency own your ad accounts
• Sending paid traffic to the homepage instead of a focused landing page
• Judging success on clicks instead of enquiries and sales
• Following up leads hours or days too late

Quick checklist before you start

• Conversion tracking tested end to end
• Clear goal and budget for the next three months
• Accounts and data in your business name
• Landing page that matches the offer
• A follow-up process for every enquiry

Key takeaway

How restaurants in Lagos, Nairobi, Johannesburg and Accra can fill tables: Instagram, delivery apps and WhatsApp. Start with one clear goal, measure results from day one and keep accounts and data in your own name, so you stay in control whatever partner you work with.
