Challenges

The absence of customers resulted in no social proof, such as reviews, testimonials, or user-generated content, making it harder to build trust with new audiences.

With little to no brand awareness, the business struggled to gain visibility organically, requiring heavy reliance on paid promotions to attract attention.

The lack of historical data or customer insights made it difficult to define and target the right audience effectively, leading to potential ad spend inefficiencies.

Visual content was limited or poorly aligned with the brand, reducing the impact of posts and ads in showcasing food quality, ambiance, and unique offerings.

Without prior engagement or website traffic, retargeting strategies couldn’t be implemented, limiting the ability to build a strong ad funnel.

Even with many offers on a day-to-day basis, they were not completely sold out.
