Vegetarian restaurants · Social media

Post the thali, the fasting menu and the kitchen so guests know what to expect.

Social media marketing for a vegetarian restaurant means showing the food, the kitchen and the festival calendar on the platforms where your guests already look. GullySales works on a plan for what to post, how to caption it and how to turn a message into a booking.

Scope, fee, reporting and term are agreed in writing after we have read your brief and spoken to you.

What social media means

Social media is the ongoing posting your business does on platforms such as Instagram, Facebook and LinkedIn to stay visible to customers and prospects between purchases. GullySales plans a posting calendar, writes captions and designs the images so the page looks active and answers what a visitor would ask.

For vegetarian restaurants

Where it usually goes wrong, and what we would do.

  • “A thali photographed well answers the first question”

    The guest scrolling Instagram wants to know what arrives on the plate, how it is served and whether it is the kind of place a family sits in. A clear overhead photograph of the thali with each katori named does more than a studio-style dish shot.

  • “Fasting days are the posts people save”

    A Navratri or Ekadashi menu is something guests keep and forward to the household. A post that lists the dishes, says how they are cooked and gives the booking number is more useful than a festival greeting with a logo.

  • “Community groups share, brands do not”

    A post that a Jain or Gujarati family group passes along on WhatsApp reaches people who trust the sender. Write posts that a member would be glad to forward: a menu, a timing, a clear statement of how the kitchen cooks.

  • “Staff and cooks are the story”

    The guests who care about a pure kitchen want to see how it is run. A short clip of the cook preparing a dish without onion and garlic, taken with the owner's agreement, shows more than a promise in a caption.

What we do

What we deliver for vegetarian restaurants.

Every deliverable, what it covers for you, and the result it is there to produce. Nothing here is an extra.

  1. Festival and fasting post calendar

    A list of the days your restaurant serves a special menu, with a post, caption and booking line drafted for each.

    Result: No festival day arrives without a post prepared.

  2. Photograph guide for the kitchen team

    A simple sheet on light, angle and plating for the thali and the main dishes, so staff photographs match.

    Result: Staff can take a usable photograph with a phone.

  3. Caption bank in the restaurant's voice

    Captions that state the vegetarian standard, name the dishes and carry one clear next step.

    Result: Posts share a voice instead of reading as stock.

  4. Direct-message reply set

    Prepared replies for questions about Jain options, timings, group bookings and parking.

    Result: The person answering messages has wording ready.

  5. Check on what brought bookings

    A note against each booking on whether it began on social media.

    Result: You can see which posts led to a table.

How the result is measured

  • Posts published
  • Engagement rate
  • Enquiries from social profiles

How it works

How the social media work runs

The work itself, in order. How an engagement starts, from your brief to a written scope, is set out on our method page.

  1. 1

    Understand your audience and platforms

    We identify which platforms your specific buyers actually use and what kind of content they respond to.

  2. 2

    Audit current presence

    We review existing pages, past content performance and any gaps in consistency.

  3. 3

    Build the content calendar

    A plan is created, balancing genuine value with occasional direct offers.

  4. 4

    Implement and post

    Content is created and published consistently on the agreed schedule.

  5. 5

    Measure and optimise

    We track enquiries alongside engagement and adjust the content mix based on what actually performs.

Where this fits

Three pieces of sales work, in this order.

This work sits inside sales process design, at stage 0, foundation. The audit comes before it, and sales management keeps it running.

  1. Step 1

    Sales audit

    Find where deals are being lost and what to fix first.

    Start here if you cannot say where orders are lost.

  2. Step 2 · you are here

    Sales process design

    One written way to sell, from first enquiry to repeat order.

    Start here if every salesperson sells differently.

  3. Step 3

    Sales management

    A target, a review routine and someone who owns the number.

    Start here if the team has targets and no routine.

FAQ

Questions owners ask before they call.

Not here? More answers, or ask on WhatsApp.

Which platform should a vegetarian restaurant start with?
Start where your guests are. Instagram suits younger diners and food photographs, while Facebook and WhatsApp reach older families and community groups. Choose one to do well before adding another.
Should we run paid posts?
Only after the organic posts show what guests respond to. Paid reach for a food business is governed by each platform's current rules, so check them before spending.
How much does it cost?
There is no price list, because the work differs by business. The fee is scoped after we have read your brief and spoken to you, and put in writing before anything starts, split into our time, your media spend and production.
How long is the contract?
The term is agreed in writing after we have spoken, along with the fee and the reporting. It is never a default twelve months, and renewal is decided on the numbers against the baseline recorded at the start.
How soon will we see results?
It depends on the trade, the channel and what is already in place. After we have read your brief and spoken to you, we say what we would expect to move first and how it will be measured against the baseline. Nothing here is guaranteed.
Who will actually do the work?
The person you speak to before anything starts. We work from one office in Nagarbhavi, Bengaluru, with no account managers in between.
What do you need from us?
Your brief, and a conversation. After that, access to whatever this work touches, such as your website, your accounts or your enquiry record, and time with the people who handle your enquiries.
What if we are not happy with the work?
Tell us and the plan changes. Everything is reported against the baseline, so a number that is not moving is visible to both sides. The term is in your written scope, and the refund and cancellation policy sets out the rest.
