• Share updates: New chef? Seasonal menu? Let the world know!

• Create events: Hosting a wine tasting? Invite the whole neighborhood!

The Customer Service Counter: Always Open for Business

GMB's messaging feature is like having a 24/7 customer service counter:

• Answer questions: It's like being there to greet every curious customer, even when you're busy in the kitchen.

• Use quick replies: For those common questions, it's like having a super-fast waiter always ready with the right answer.

The Reservation Book: Filling Those Tables

If you take reservations, GMB can be your digital maitre d':

• Let people book directly: It's like having a reservation book that never sleeps.

• Integrate with your system: Make sure your real-world and digital reservation books are always in sync.

The Crystal Ball: Peeking into Your Restaurant's Future

GMB Insights are like a crystal ball for your business:

• See how people find you: It's like knowing which street signs are pointing people to your restaurant.

• Track customer actions: Find out if people are calling you, visiting your website, or asking for directions. It's like being able to read your customers' minds!

The Health Inspector's Stamp of Approval: Showing You Care

In these tricky times, use GMB to show you're taking care:
