Opening a restaurant is the easier part.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Getting people to walk in is where it actually gets hard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can have the right menu, a well-designed space, a reliable chef, and a location that makes sense. But once the doors open, a quieter problem shows up: nobody knows you exist yet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That’s when the advice starts pouring in from all directions. Run Instagram ads. Call food influencers. Put up hoardings. Try Swiggy and Zomato. Do WhatsApp offers. Book a newspaper insert.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And suddenly \u20b91 lakh starts looking like it won’t go very far.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But it can. The key is not trying to reach everyone. It’s reaching the right people, in your area, often enough for them to remember you when they’re deciding where to eat on a Tuesday evening or a Sunday afternoon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To understand what that actually looks like, we ran a sample brief on Ant10<\/a>, The Media Ant’s AI Media Planner. The brief was for a new casual dining restaurant in Indiranagar, Bangalore. A 30-day campaign. A \u20b91 lakh budget. The objective: local awareness, footfall, and first-time trials.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here’s what came out of it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
