25 extra orders on a Friday and Saturday - it’s what we do 🚀
We’ve had the pleasure of working with Shab from Streetly Balti for over 6 years helping them to increase direct orders on their own website so they’re not paying out thousands in commission every month to the big delivery platforms.
The most wonderful time of the year they say - well it was for Entouraj!
Owner Shah came to us because he wanted to open on Christmas day for the first time in 7 years (he previously stopped because it simple wasn’t viable) and was worried they might not fill enough tables to cover staffing the day.
Christmas Day can be hit and miss - some restaurants are very busy but others have struggled to fill tables depending on their location.
Entouraj only had a very small existing customer database so we knew we’d have to work hard to reach brand new people in the local area to make them aware they’d be opening that day.
Our team got to work and the rest as they say…is history! 45 bookings achieved in one day alone with the end result being not one, not two but three sold out sittings.
We’ve been working with the Bombay Cottage for nearly 10 years!
We’ve built a technology first marketing service but one thing we’ve always taken pride in is offering a personal service to our clients - every single one of our clients has a personal account manager available to help by email, phone and whatsapp.
Personalised content created just for your restaurant every week; social media posts, emails, ads, text messages and more! All designed to increase your sales 📈.
Everything is unique to your restaurant - just approve your content in our mobile app.
We were incredibly proud to help Fireaway Pizza launch their collab with the new Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 Game at the end of last year.
Our software platform powered the entire campaign - when customers ordered a special Call of Duty menu item this triggered our system to send a unique code to the customer which they could redeem in the game for double XP items.
Big shout out to our creative team too who did some incredible artwork and video animations to support this campaign across socials and email and a big thank you to our software team for all their work behind the scenes making this campaign possible 👏
Here’s our top picks for January promotions to drive sales when it’s traditionally a bit quieter 🍽️.
Disclaimer - these are not all our clients we just loved their ads so wanted to share the inspiration👌
What a year it’s been!
From filming at Dinner By Heston in the Mandarin Oriental for the RA Gala, visiting Gleneagles for the @worldycyw Scotland Final and capturing the industry day at Fortnum & Mason to helping Fireaway Pizza launch their Call of Duty Black Ops 7 collab.
We’ve created over 10,000 posts and reels this year for our clients!
Plus we launched our brand new mobile app this year too (and we can wait to share some amazing new features coming in the new year!).
Thank you to everyone who has been part of our journey - see you in 2026!
Merry Christmas from all of us at Really Social!
We wanted to take a moment to appreciate our incredible team who have gone above and beyond to ensure our clients had the campaigns they needed to make their restaurants thrive.
It’s been a challenging year for the hospitality sector which has meant we’ve been very busy helping our clients with extra last minute campaigns, extra emails and so much more.
From early morning starts, late nights finishes and even the odd weekend our team really have gone above and beyond.
In fact we’ve been so busy with clients that we’ve even neglected our own social media posting (we know it’s not a valid excuse 🙈) we’ll do better in 2026!
Thank you to all our clients, partners and team - have a fantastic Christmas break.
We're live in the App Store! Our existing clients can now approve content, view campaigns and check results directly in our mobile app. If you're on iPhone head to the App Store and just enter your email address to login 📱
If you're on android fear not - we've got news for you on Monday 😉
We've said it before and we'll say it again! 10,000 is the magic number ✨
Independent restaurants need 10,000 contacts on their database to ensure a steady stream of direct orders on their own website (commission free). Yes you'll have some loyal customers who will order weekly but you'll also have alot who order much less frequently.
If the average conversion from an email campaign is around 1% (if you're lucky maybe 2% or 3%) then you'll get roughly 100 orders directly off the back of an email to 10,000 people.
So if you're not getting quite as many orders as you'd like each week, ask yourself; is your database really big enough? 🤔
